Considering that we are teachers in Zerain, we have prepared some activitys about the topic of new borns. Althought the topic is that, we will learn different aspects, such us different languages (basque and english), maths... We have prepared six different exercises considering that Uxue jaio da! project is for a children of different ages. Therefore, the our objective is the following: To work in class about babys.

Exercise 1:

Tittle: Preconceptions about babys.

Process: we will speak in class about newborns in Zerain,so the teacher will collect all the information that children says and what information they don`t know about babys. To do this activity, first of all, we will do some questions about babys to the children. For example: What do you know about babys? Have the babys need care or they are independents? What and how they feed?... Is important to say that this activity we will do in basque to take the more information that we can.

Exercise 2:

Tittle: Newborn´s parents from Zerain to our class

Process: To learn more about babys care the best is to know these in person. For this, we propose that newborn´s parents come to our classroom. In this way children could have the opportunity to interact with the baby. Also, they could hear mother´s explanation about baby´s care (how they feed, How much time they sleep, how they play, how change a nappy...). Also, we will do this activity in basque, in their mother tongue.
