Process

** ** 1 - Learn about where different animals live. Can you classify animals by where they live? Decide if they live at home as a pet, on the farm, or in the zoo. Pick an animal from the picture selection and drag it into its correct home. **
 * __ RECAP OF KNOWLEDGE __**
 * Test your knowledge by joining in some fun class games on the interactive whiteboard. **
 * (Go to [] and open the Animals class page and the mimio presentation in the Class Files area)


 * 2 - See if you can recognise the noise some of these animals make. Listen to the noise and then once you have confirmed the animal you think is making the noise check your answer on the whiteboard. **


 * 3 – Who am I? From the description given in words can you work out what animal is hiding behind the wall? Lift the flap to see if your answer is correct. **


 * 4 - Match names of animals to their illustrations by participating in an animal bingo game. For this game you will choose a partner to play together. If the spinner lands on the name of an animal that you have shown as a picture on your bingo card, cover it with a marker. The first team to cover all their nine squares needs to shout “ANIMAL BINGO” and they have won! **


 * 5 – Using the Paint accessory on your computer create a picture of your favourite zoo animal. You can use any of the tools found on the paint - pencil, airbrush, lines and shapes. In the picture create a text box and type in the words “My favourite animal is.......and then explain why by typing “because.....” Once completed print off your picture as they will be displayed around the classroom. **


 * __PRACTISE YOUR RESEARCH SKILLS __**


 * Become an expert on a particular zoo animal by investigating interesting facts using various resources found in the classroom. **

** 1 – With your learning partner choose an animal from the laminated picture cards. Discuss with your partner characteristics of your animal and anything information you already know about it. **


 * 2 –Find out the following information about your animal: - **

- **Where that animal is from in the world ** - **Where does it live (habitat) ** - **What does it eat ** - **What does it look like ** - **Any other interesting facts ** **
 * Think about where you can find this information. Look on the internet, Perth Zoo website ([|perth zoo website]) and any books in the classroom library. Use the attached worksheet to record the information.

 * <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">1 – Participate in a story telling session which tells the story of Australian Animals getting ready for a Bush Party. Think about how the animals are unique and have different needs to each other. **
 * <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">2 – In small groups venture around the Australian Animal section of the zoo dressed in costume and search for information about the animals. Record the information on your [|Aussie Animal Report Plan] . Remember the questions used in the research in the classroom or use the attached question prompts to help you: [|Bush Party Questions](on page 5)
 * <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">3 – Use the digital cameras provided to take pictures of the animals and of each person in your group close to the animals. **

 * 1 – Using the class computers access photographs taken at the zoo which have been saved to the desktop. Look through the pictures and select one to print out. If you want you can adjust the picture using Photoshop. **


 * 2 – Use your Aussie Animal Report Plan and write up information about the animal in the photograph you have selected. **


 * 3 – As a class we are going to present this information in a Talking Tin book . Place your chosen photograph in the Talking Tin sleeve. Record a piece of information you want to share with the audience about the animal. Remember you only have 30 seconds so ensure you speak in a clear strong voice. **


 * 4 – Listen back to your recording and re record if any mistakes are made. **
