OUR RIVERS
19/02/26We are learning a lot about RIVER ANOIA and we decided to use all we have discovered so far to invent our own river.
We had a lot of fun creating our river because we did not just draw.. We used blue paper and scissors to make our river with one continuous string. We had to be very careful when we used the scissors because we wanted to make it as long as possible without breaking the paper…

It was very difficult to cut thin paper and it required a lot of care. What a great way to practice cutting skills! When everybody got their rivers, it was time to measure them. Some rivers were so long that we had to help each other use the measuring tape. You can see how long our rivers are in this picture.
This activity offered us the opportunity to introduce big numbers and practice saying them. It was very fun and much easier than we thought! After spending some sessions playing games to practice saying, reading and writing numbers in English we were ready to write the info about our rivers… We had to complete a table with the basic information of our rivers (including the length in KM!) which later served us as the prompt to start writing our text describing the river. Writing in English is not as difficult when we have the right support!
