(Учні розповідають про тварин, а на екрані з’являються зображення тварин)

Pupil1: Giraffes live in African savannas. They have the longest necks and very long legs. Giraffes usually eat leaves from the trees with their long blue tongues. 

 

          

 

Pupil2: Monkeys live in different parts of the world. You can find them in Africa, Asia, and America. You can see these animals in the forests and in the mountains, in the trees and on the ground. 

Pupil3: Usually monkeys live in families. These animals are very clever. They learn during all their life.

      

Pupil4: The arctic fox lives in the north. It has a thick coat. This coat is white in winter and grey –brown in summer.

 

Pupil5: Some arctic foxes, for example, in Greenland, are blue or grey-blue. When the fox is white, it is hard to see it in the snow. Thus, it can hide.

Pupil6: Arctic foxes catch small animals. They can hear these animals even under the snow. Arctic foxes do not sleep in winter like bears. They are active all year round.

 

Pupil7: Chameleons are lizards. Usually they are green, because they hide in the trees. They can be yellow, red, or blue, too. Chameleons can change colours. For example, when they are angry, they become black. Chameleons eat insects with their long tongues.

 

           

Pupil8: The swallow is one of the national symbols of Ukraine. It is good if swallows build their nest on the house. It is for love and happiness in the family.

Pupil9: Swallows usually come to us in April. And in summer they often have nestlings. Parents bring food to their kids up to 400 times a day! Swallows eat flies, mosquitoes, and other insects. In August or September swallows fly away to Africa. They spend their winter holidays there.

 

                

Pupil10: There are many kinds of deer. They live on every continent except Australia and Antarctica.  Deer have big antlers. 

Pupil11: The largest deer is the moose, which is over 2 meters tall. The pudu of South America is the smallest deer. Some pudus are only 25 centimeters high.

                 

Pupil12: Deer shed their antlers every winter. Their new antlers grow in spring and in summer. Many deer live in forests. They eat leaves, twigs, and grass.

 

 

Pupil13: Hippos are big and heavy animals. They can weigh 4,000 kg- as much as 45 big men! A million years ago, these animals lived in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Now they live only in parts of Africa

 

Pupil14: There are two kinds of hippos-pygmy hippos and river hippos. River hippos live near rivers. They spend half their lives in water. They swim there and hide from the sun. Hippos eat only vegetables, but they have very big teeth. Even crocodiles are afraid of hippos!
