Welcome to Bore Da's teacher's leaflet May 2006.
Welcome! Here are suggestions on how to use May's
Bore Da further in the classroom.
May's themes are animals, Message of Peace
and Goodwill, the Urdd Eisteddfod,
and descriptions.
Give each group a copy of Bore Da. There are pictures of a monkey, giraffe, Koala bear, parrot, elephant, zebra, lion, crocodile, rhinoceros and snake on the cover. Give each group ten envelopes - in each envelope they will find the letters to spell the name of one of the animals. The group should solve the anagrams and place the name of the animal on the desk near the correct animal.
