PRIMARY SCHOOL
ICE AGE
We started the activities with a Brain storming and a consequent Conceptual Map. This is the conceptual map we started with. The pupils analysed the film and discovered the subjects to discuss about.
The first subject we faced was Science and in particular the water cycle.
		Uhh!How much ice! Why don't speak about the "water Cycle" then. Actually it's raining outside. But where does all this water come from? Let's find it out!

Then we drew the characters of the film (Art), followed by the description of the mammoth and the sloth as animals(English). At the beginning the pupils find information in Italian and then they put it in English; next step gathering all the information and producing a common description at different levels for the different classes.		This is a first attempt of description by a 3rdclass pupil. There are mistakes in it but also a great enthusiasm
		NO. It isn't the teacher. She's got smaller ears: This the "Mammuthus Primygenius, the first subject we described.
As you can see this drawing is made by a third class pupil. Probably the mammoth is on diet, but it's features are still there.	Who's this Mammoth's hairdresser? We hope he isn't ours. Look at the tuft!
		This is This is a masterpiece. Is one of the pupils coming from the past to know perfectly how a mammoth is?
	Help! A prehistoric man and a mammoth. Talking and talking about we materialized them. Don't worry! It's a work done by the pupils of the 3rd classes.	A new pupil? He must be a little bit nervous and someone has given him a red eye. I hope he'll be a good student
But he's a little bit spiteful. He's tickling one of his schoolmates.	He looks harmless but if you are a mammoth start running or he'll make clothes, food and many tools of you.
