Farmyard Animals Workshop

To get the maximum benefit from the We Work by Projects Workshop at the Zoo, we recommend that you do some work at school on the following aspects before taking the workshop, both by talking about experiences and in other areas (plastic, body expression, oral and written expression, maths, etc.):

To understand the students’ interests and increase motivation about the animals:

• Make large drawings of typical farm animals.
• Imitate the sounds these animals make.

To observe animals:

• Get a duck or chicken chick to be able to observe it in class.
  
• Visit a traditional farm.
• Watch excerpts of documentaries about farmyard animals.
