WARSAW MERMAID LEGEND

Students have listened to the Polish legend about a Warsaw Mermaid.

They have identified the main characters.

 

  

 They have created a legend scene with a paper mosaic.

 They have cut some coloured sheets in different sizes.

 

According the legend, a Mermaid swimming in the sea stopped on the riverbank near the Old Town rest.

She liked this place and she decided to stay.

  A local fisherman living nearby noticed her...

Later, a rich merchant trapped the Mermaid and he imprisoned her in a wooden hut.

A young fisherman heard Mermaid's cry and with his mates released her .

The Mermaid promised them to help whenever it would be needed.

Ever since, the Mermaid, armed with sword and shield, has been ready to help and protect the city and its citizens.

Descriptions with Lego "learn to learn"

In year to we practice a lot of descriptions and recipies at the moment.
The "learn to learn"-set is really good to describe a building instruction to a partner. The children sit "back to back" and one children ist discribing and the other children needs to put the right bricks at the right place. Afterwards the children checked the results and gave eachother some advices for discribing.

It was really brilliant that they saw their results of their discription so closely afterwards and realized their mistakes by their own.

Learning how to describe

I know that most of you already know this activity: using Lego Minifigures, Playmobil, Pinypon or any other little 'people' to learn how to describe people. My pupils were so proud of their creations that I wanted to post them. Here you have some examples:

             

        

                    

                   

Congratulations to my pupils for such a nice job!
