What does the Itsy Bitsy Spider want to do on the roof?

After learning the song “Itsy Bitsy Spider”, the children were interested in looking for the water spouts that we have at school, and while they were looking for them, they found different insects , making our “ path of recognition”, much more intriguing.

They could learn a lot about spiders and some insects as well as their environment, and they were able to use some notions, previously learnt, related to different topics.

But as they started singing and remembering the song, they began to wonder: “ Why does the spider want to go up?”, What does the spider want to do?”. This was an excellent question, because they started to give different ideas, and as a result , they invented a very interesting story, in which they could use actions, vocabulary and structures in English.

The spider is up on the roof and a monster come.
The monster is big, and has 1 eye and has a lot of hair. The monster has a big the head and one tooth. The monster is red.
The monster put the spider in the box and cut a circle and spy the spider.
The spider is sad because the spider not run away. The box is very hard.
The spider shout: “ Help”, help!” and come another spider, the big brother and the big spider cut all the box and the spider go out the box.
The spider scare the monster, and the monster run.
