Igniting Curiosity: A Fiery Reading Adventure

Lesson Introduction

Good morning, Class 3! Today, we're going to embark on an exciting journey into the world of fire. Now, fire can be fascinating, but it can also be dangerous, so it's important that we learn all about it in a safe and fun way.

Engaging Start: The Fire Invention Story

To kick off our lesson, I want you to close your eyes for a moment and imagine a time long, long ago—before there were light bulbs, ovens, or even matches.

Imagine This:

• Picture a dark cave: Giant shadows dance as you hear the sound of wind howling outside.
• See a group of early humans: They’re huddled together, shivering from the cold and looking scared.
• Then, someone discovers it: A spark! Perhaps from stone against stone, and suddenly, there’s a flicker, a flame!

What happens next? The fire gives warmth, light, and a way to cook food. From this moment, everything changes!

Think-Pair-Share Activity

Now that we've envisioned how important fire can be, I’d like you to do a quick activity:

1. Think: What are your first thoughts about fire? Is it exciting? Scary? Both?
2. Pair: Turn to your partner and share your thoughts. How do you feel about fire after imagining its discovery?
3. Share: After a minute, we’ll come back together and share some of your ideas with the whole class.

Transition to Reading

After our discussion, we’ll dive into an exciting story about fire! This story will explore not just how humans have learnt to use fire, but also its role in nature and safety tips for handling it properly.

So, get ready to read, and let’s explore the magical world of fire together!
