Poland - lesson about water

Last week class 1 (seven year olds) with the class teacher – Agata Gut had a lesson about water.

The topic was: “There is no life without water – water is a priceless dower, use it carefully”

The main aim of the lesson was to show the students the great importance of water in our everyday life, as well as in our cultural heritage.

The students learnt about water characteristics such as: colour, taste, smell and about different states: rain, snow, fog, ice, hail. They tried to find differences between running water and thermal water we have in our area.

They were shown different water basins like: a river, lake, pond, sea, ocean.

Then they were discussing how to save water, what to do for the environment, how to clear up lakes, rivers, seas.

As the classes for children aged 7-9 follow integrated approach, the students worked with a poem, solved some mathematical problems, did a crossword and in the end they made some nice paper boats.
