3.4Story time: The spider

A boy holds a hairy spider. A girl says Oh no I don't like spiders. Then the children touch the spider and say Wow — 1. "Oh no. I don't like spiders." 2. "Touch him, Misty." "Wow!"

Super Minds 1, p. 38.

The story: A boy shows the children a spider. At first one girl says, "Oh no. I don't like spiders." Then the spider walks under the table and makes a web. The children look. They say, "He's clever. He's amazing!" Then they say, "I like spiders. They're great!" At the end, the spider says, "My brothers and sisters are in the tree!" Many spiders come out of the tree and the children say, "Oh no!"

Value: Being brave.

Words in the story: beautiful, clever, amazing, great.

3.7Learn and think: camouflage

Photos of a snake, a crocodile, a butterfly, a tiger and a giraffe — snake, crocodile, butterfly, tiger, giraffe

Super Minds 1, p. 42.

Ask: What colour is the snake? Answer: The snake is green and black.

Camouflage: an animal has the same colour as the place it lives, so it is hard to see.

The crocodile is green and the water is green. Tigers hide in tall grass. Animals can also hide in logs, trees and leaves.

Super Minds 1, pp. 42-43.

Why is the crocodile hard to see in the green water?

It is green and the water is green.
