ANIMALS AND THEIR SENSES

In the English class we've been talking about animals and their most important sense.

We've learnt that:

- Pigs' most important sense is the taste. They have got over 15.000 taste buds.

- Eagles' most important sense is the eyesight. They can see a small mouse in the grass from high up in the sky.

- Leopards' most important sense is the touch. They've got sensitive whiskers. Thay can touch things in the dark and feel where they are going.


- Wolves' most important sense is the smell. They've got a very sensitive nose and can smell friends, enemies and food.

- Doplhins have got very sensitive ears. Hearing is their most important sense. They can hear very well and communicate with other dolphins.

You'll find many other animals and a brief explanation of their most important sense.

Then post a comment about one of the animals. Look at the sample I posted.
Enjoy! :-)

  1. Dear students,

    Chamaleons' most important sense is the eyesight.
    The eyes of the chameleon can move independently. A chamaleon can see in two different directions at the same time.

Our 4th B graders asked me to practice this song in class. How about some home practice in the meanwhile?
