SKILLS

This Education Unit should help to develop basic skills in Primary Education.

In this section, we explain what we want to promote with the teaching unit:

- Knowledge and interaction with the physical world: Pupils must respect the environment because they live in it and they have to see the important functions it has. In this case, children must be able to respect and care for animals as well as valuate the great work that the farmer because thanks to them many of us can eat. This competence will develop during all the Unit but, especially, during the visit of the farm, where they will see what the farmers do and why they exist like a workers.

- Multilingual and intercultural competence: Children should develop the  Unit's activities in English and in Catalan and Spanish. They should be able to overcome their difficulties in learning new content in both languages, Catalan and Spanish, as in a foreign language, English. It's not necessary to be in the subject of English to work in this language, because children could use the other two languages that we commented before, too. This competence takes place in all the Unit, but specially in the activity of the vocabulary of animals, and in the activity of counting the animals in the field, in which they practice the mathematics.




With less intensity, with this Unit we want that the students could develop artistic skills, with the activity of making a drawing during the farm's visit; and we   pretend also work the communicative competence during the diferents exhibitions in the different activities. The teacher has to help the students teaching them how to do a good explanation step by step, and the teacher should see a progress in the exhibitions from the first activity to last, in which the pupils should follow the teacher's advises.
