London Zoo

They say exotic animals were first taken to Britain in the thirteenth century when King Henry III received a gift of leopards and elephants.
The animals lived in the Tower of London in a special place.
Later the King of Norway presented Henry III with polar bear. The bear liked to go fishing in the Thames at the end of a long rope.
Five hundred years later, Queen Charlotte was given the first zebra to come to Britain. She kept it near Buckingham House. Curious people came there to see it.
Giraffes have been an attraction at London Zoo since four of them arrived in 1839. Soon the giraffes were moved to Regent’s Park. One female gave birth to six babies within five years.
Today there are many thousands of exotic animals at London Zoo.

Teacher: I see you  really know the history of the zoo. Now it is time to see and discuss the presentation about London Zoo. (Презентация)

Pupil 4: Every Zoo has some rules. Here they are.

  • Do not distress the animals by shouting, leaping about, tapping on the glass
  • Do not feed the animals
  • Do not climb over barriers
  • CHILDREN must be supervised at all times. (Слайд 4)

Pupil 9: Many songs, poems and tales are written about animals. Listen to the poem, which is called "MY DREAM" by Gillian Brown.

I love all kinds of animals
Dogs and cats and rabbits.
I love all kinds of animals,
Despite their little habits.
If I had tons of money,
D'you know what I would do?
I would buy lots of animals
And have my own zoo.
But they wouldn't be in cages;
They would be free to run around.
And there's one thing they would feel
And that is safe and sound. (Слайд 9)

Teacher: Thank you very much. I think this information was really interesting and useful. You have worked well. I am sure there are many exotic animals there. As you know thousands of visitors come to the zoo every day. Now I want you to answer my questions.

– Have you ever been to the zoo?
– Did you like it?
– Why? Tell the class about your visit to the zoo. (Детиотвечаютнавопросы)

Teacher: Children the lesson is over. Thank you very much for your work. Your homework is to imagine that you are talking to the Director of London Zoo. What questions would you ask him/her? Write some questions please.
