The story

The story of the mouse with the (7 tails)

A nice little mouse was very unhappy because it had no friends to play with.
Every day other children were laughing with the mouse, do you know why?
Because the mouse had seven tails.
Who can draw me a mouse with seven tails?
The unhappy little mouse complained to her mother, and asked her what to do?
(all children look unhappy)
Mammy told the mouse that she must laugh back when the other pupils are
making fun of her.
The mouse went to school with a big smile (all children a big smile), but all the
children start laughing again and shout, hahahaha a mouse with seven tails.
The mouse came back home and was crying
The mother must think about another solution.
That same day the mother cut three tails (a pupil erases the tails from the BB).
But still the children kept on laughing.
Now the mother cut all the tails.
The day after when the mouse came at school she started immediately playing
with the other children. But the children couldnt laugh anymore because the
tails were gone.
So from that day all the children played with the mouse.
Since then the mouse comes home with a big smile.

going to have an activity

(The teacher will divide the class into three according to their level. Each
group will be given an activity to work on)

Group 1 (Identifying the parts of the plants)

Activity: Arrange the puzzled plant and label each part when it is form.

Group 2 (Functions of the parts of the plant)

Activity: Identify the parts of the plant according to the given uses.

Complete the missing letter.

Group 3 (Comparing parts of the plant)

Activity: Identify the characteristics of the given parts of the plant

according their color, size and shape.

(After the activity, each group will post their work on the board and discuss what they done)

: Discussion
“The activity you have done today is all about Parts of the plant.
Again, what are the parts of the plants?
“The common parts of the plant are roots, stem, leaves, flowers and fruit.
Some plants also have other parts not common to other plants like
branches, flowers and fruits.

(The teacher will discuss the plants parts and its functions)

“The roots hold the plants. They get water and nutrients from the soil.

“The stem holds the leaves, flowers and fruits. It carries water from the

roots to the leaves.

“The leaves make food for the plant. The leaves get air and sunlight to

make food.

“The flowers make seeds. It also makes the place colorful and beautiful.

“The fruit holds the seeds. The seed protects the baby plant.

(The teacher will discuss the different characteristics of plant

parts according to their size, shape and color)
“The roots have hairy, fine roots growing near the soil or one big root
which grows deep down the soil. Trees have big and fine roots that hold
strong to the ground.
“The stem, plants have big and small body. Some plants are woody.
Woody plants like trees live for many years for they have strong, big and
hard stems. Some plants non-woody stem, their stems are soft and can
easily be cut using the fingers. Small plants have non-woody stem.

“The leaves have different sizes and shape.

“The fruit have different shapes. Some are big and small. They also differ
in colors.
“The flowers are found in the garden. There are big flowers and small
ones. Flowers are also in different colors.

“There are many plants around us.

We can see different plants in our surroundings. Plants have different
parts and functions.
Though plants have differences, plants are important to us. A plant gives
us oxygen and also it gives fresh air. It also gives foods to eat. Plants also
beautify our environment.
We must take good care of the plants we have and gives them
