The students learn about the ways different animals move, building on the previous lessons, in which they learned about animal body parts. They read a text providing basic information about birds and then watch a video containing some more interesting facts. The language focus introduces adverbs of manner, which are practiced in several exercises and also in a game (by I. Rybak).

Bird Facts
Did you know that the fastest bird is the peregrine falcon? This bird of prey can reach almost 250 miles per hour while free-falling. Wow, it’s so fast! Poor dove if it were to cross its path. On the other hand, the American woodcock is the slowest bird on the planet, flying at a mere speed of five miles per hour. Oh, check out his cute little babies.
Did you know that the fastest land bird is the ostrich? This huge bird, actually the largest in the world, cannot fly, but it can reach up to 44 miles per hour running. It’s faster than a moped. This tiny hummingbird also holds an impressive record. Besides being the smallest bird, it can also flap its wings 200 times per second, or, in other words, 12,000 times in a minute. Incredible! They beat so fast that you can hardly even see them. It looks as if they’re floating in the air while eating.
And did you know that the penguin is the aquatic bird champion? Penguins can’t fly, and on land they are rather clumsy, but they are incredible in water. Some species can reach the speed of 22 miles per hour. They swim four times faster than humans can, but the most impressive penguin is the emperor penguin. A person can dive to a depth of 850 feet, whereas this penguin species dives 1,755 feet deep, and can hold its breath for 5 to 18 minutes. It’s a bird. It has a beak and feathers, but it seems as if it wants to be a fish.
Now we have learned a few records and fascinating facts about birds. The truth is it is beautiful observing them fly in the sky or swim in the sea, but, as we are always reminding you in happy learning, so as to continue enjoying them, we must look after our environment, do not contaminate the air the sky, the rivers, and seas. We must take care of our nature and all that is around us, and like that, we will be able to live in a happier world.
