MY REFLECTIONSPupils were very interested in insects and they showed a lot of curiosity. They had fun doing activities with the digital board, doing the insects word search and specially, when playing with the insect bingo. It was also funny to listen them reciting “The cricket” poem. It was a nice and a positive experience.
