Curricular area:

Knowledge of the social and cultural environment. Art.


Place: The Cathedral of Tarragona.

Level: 6-7 years old pupils.

Time: School year.

Activity:
Type: Work “in situ”.
Description:

If we think that games are the natural situation for children to develop their affective, social and intellectual skills, we will consider them the most adequate procedure to achieve them. Thus, during the visit to the Cathedral, and centred on a game, we start teaching history. This set of activities is related to three phases. In the first one, we would like the pupils to recognize and identify the animals quickly and be able to portray the,. The second one is centred on two parts which are strongly linked: the visit to the cathedral and a workshop. Finally, the student will have to explain the acquired contents and expand them with poems, songs, stories, already made sentences, puzzles and tongue twisters. We want it to be an active learning proposal, taking into account concepts leaning but deeply interested in attitudes and procedures.

Material:

Didactic Guide. Workbook. Story: “La processó de les rates” i “La cabra i el llop”. A basket with eggs in colours. Clay to reproduce an animal. A cat and a rat. A box. A circle, made with a moquette in four colours, 2 m. diameter.

Time: Half a day.
Means of transport: On foot.

Observations:

This activity will take long time if we prepare songs and poems in advance.
