• In the next activity, I will give to the students cardboard in which they will draw a vertebrate or invertebrate animal and they will indicate the most important characteristics. They will work in groups of four students. These will be included in the class mural.

SESIÓN 4:

• Song "Walking in the jungle". First, we listened to the song several times, and we will stop in each part so that the students can complete the file.

Let's take a walk in the jungle.

Walking in the jungle. Walking in the jungle. We're not afraid. We're not afraid.

One step. Two steps. Three steps forward.

One step. Two steps. Three steps back.

Stop. Listen. What's that?

It's a frog!

We're not afraid!

Let's stomp.

Stomping in the jungle. Stomping in the jungle. We're not afraid. We're not afraid.

One step. Two steps. Three steps forward.

One step. Two steps. Three steps back.

Next, we will circle the class to dance and sing the song. We will do a simple choreography, there will be four masks of the animals that are named in the song and they will be distributed among the students of the class alternating order, when the song name for example: Toucan, the student who has this mask when we ask What's that? he/she take a step forward and leave the circle, answering, "It's a toucan" or whatever.

The chorus tells us the movements that we should do: walk, stomp, skip or jump, then, we will move in the circle in the corresponding way.

SESIÓN 5:

• Game: we will do it in a large group.

• We make the animal's mural.
