HI KIDS! 😊
HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!

TODAY WE WILL BE WORKING ON:
LANGUAGE AND SCIENCE

LANGUAGE:

Open your book at pages 112 and 113, please:

ARTS AND CRAFTS: 

Draw one of the typical dances and describe it using the words on page113, activity 5.

SCIENCE:

Let´s keep on with ecosystems!

Depending on what they eat, we can put animals (consumers) into 3 groups:

·  Animals that eat plants and vegetables are called HERBIVORES.
Ex.: horse, rabbit, squirrel, etc.

· Animals that eat other animals (meat) are called CARNIVORES.
Ex.: lion, crocodile, shark, etc.

·   Animals that are both herbivores and carnivores are called OMNIVORES.
Ex.: human, bear, bird, etc.

· DECOMPOSERS eat waste or dead organisms

Preys and Predators

·   Animals that eat other animals are called PREDATORS. All predators hunt other animals for food.

·  The animals that a predator hunts are called its PREY. 

·   Example: a fox eats a rabbit. The predator is the fox and the prey is the rabbit.

·  Many animals that are prey are plant-eaters. For ex.: rabbits eat grass.

BIOMES

BIOMES are large ecosystems with generally the same climate and organisms.

 Different kinds of Biomes:

1. LAND BIOMES:

• Tropical Rainforest: a lot of water, warm
• Deciduous forest: cool and dry
• Grasslands: full of grass
• Taiga (forest): cold and fairly dry
• Deserts: very hot (day), very cold (night); very dry
• Tundra (desert): very cold and very dry

2. WATER BIOMES:

• Rivers
• Wetlands
• Coral reefs
• Deep sea
