Extra-song

This week, 6th graders asked me to listen to a song, because they love it. So, this is an extra-song. We haven't worked on it, but I'm glad to see that they are aware that we can learn while having fun and enjoying.

A Stick insect's face

Stick insects....well, they are growing fast....in this picture you can see their face....they are not very nice ( if you look at them closer )....They have changed their skin, we will observe it using a magnifying glass and a lamp. Now, they are six cm. long.....

Babies are soooo cute!!!

In this picture you can see a baby snail, it isn't the smallest one, but one of them.  They are soo cute that I couldn't resist taking pictures of them. You can compare its size with a one euro cent coin. Sorry for the photo ( it's not as good as I wanted it to be...).

Little Eggs
