Grade 1 Activity on Habitat of Insects and Plants


Children of Grade 1 were taken for a walk in the School garden on 23rd November to understand about the Habitat of plants and insects which is a part of the lesson being learnt in EVS.

Children were instructed to tip toe in the garden and not to talk loudly so that the insects are not disturbed. They were welcomed by a chameleon near the bamboo trees. They witnessed a spider spinning its web. In another place, they witnessed a fly stuck in the spider's web and children felt sad that it would be eaten by the spider and wanted to rescue it.

Dragon flies, centipede and butterflies were spotted. Children were asked to sit on the green velvety grass and look carefully for insects. They saw a little yellow insect with small black spots and wanted to call it lady bug. They also saw crows perched on a tree.

It was their lucky day as they saw such a variety of species in the garden. They learnt that just as people live in houses, plants and animals live in garden and that is their home and habitat.
