6.+ENJOYING+NATURE

 School is coming to an end and all of us start to think about our summer holidays, don't we? What do you usually do in summer? What are your family plans? There are many things to do: going to the beach, visiting some relatives at town, travelling to a crowded and big European city..Every plan sounds really good, but one of the best and funniest options for you is probably... enjoying nature !!! Do you like nature? Would you like to enjoy and rediscover it a little bit more? Nature offers us a great variety of fun, healthy and different activities: doing sports like mountain cycling, archery or climbing, discovering animal life and animal habitats, collecting exotic plants and beautiful flowers while hiking in the forest, going fishing and swimming in a lake or sleeping in a tent under the stars at a nice camping site. Throughout project 6 'Enjoying Nature', we will get into the world of nature and the vast opportunities it offers us, we will see animals.

What about your FINAL PRODUCT ? It will consist of a video about your trip to the farm school which must include:- photos, pictures and videos- captions and text describing those images (where you are, what you are doing, who is with you, when it was, the reasons why you like that photo, etc.)
