Turó Blau School visits the dolphins!

 

P5 boys and girls have learned a lot about dolphins with a number of manipulative dynamics.

Then we went to the pavilion to meet the 4 bottlenose dolphins that make up our family, they knew the names, the ages ... They saw how they were trained and at the same time they saw their teeth, what they ate and how they ate.

They have also been able to count the fins and see how they use them for different things: swimming, jumping, spinning ... And they have watched the spiracle open to the surface to breathe and close when they dive.

Reina Elisenda School visits us.

The P5 giraffe class has decided to start the new course by visiting our family of giraffes learning a lot of them through a zoo educator, expert in this African mammal.

They have discovered that they not only live as a family if they do not share habitat with Dorcas gazelles and the turtle of spurs and that in nature they also coexist with elephants, rhinoceros ... that they have also been able to see.

Apart from the knowledge and emotions they have also taken a small memory!
