Children: Happy, good

B: Show me your good mood. I remind you that in the lesson you need not to shout, not to make noise, listen to the teacher carefully, raise your hand.

AT: Listen to the poem.

Cowberry ripens
The days got colder
And from the bird's cry
In the heart only sadder
Flocks of birds fly away
For the blue sea.
All the trees are shining
In multi-colored clothing!

3. Q: Guys, what kind of animals can be found in the forest in autumn? ( called) And now we will find out what they do in the autumn in the forest. ( children in masks talk about themselves)

Hedgehog: The trees are getting ready for winter, and I'm getting ready too. All summer I accumulated fat, because I have a long hibernation. I will sleep in a secluded place, in dry leaves and grass. I collect leaves to make a warm bed for the winter.

Bear: Falling leaves are spinning in the forest, it's time for me to find a place for a den. The place must be reliable in order to sleep peacefully until spring. The lair should be covered with leaves, fragrant pine needles and dry moss, so that it is warm. This is where the snowfall starts. A snow blanket will cover the lair from above, and it will be warm and quiet for me in it.

Fox: And we, foxes, change our fur coats for warm and fluffy ones by the winter. Thick hair grows on my paws, like warm boots. And what a fluffy tail becomes! My hole is in the deep forest. In winter, mice are saved from hunger.

Hare: Now I'm shedding: instead of gray, white fur grows. I feed at night - it's safer that way. I love to eat twigs, bark of young trees and shrubs. My slanting eyes are not accidental, I see with them not only what is in front, but also on the sides and even a little behind.

Wolf: We, wolves, do not stock up for the winter. Strong legs and sharp teeth help us survive the difficult winter time. We have to run a lot before we find prey, that's why people say about us that the legs feed the wolf.

All day long I've been jumping
In autumn, there are not enough things to do:
Choose a hollow for the winter
To keep it warm
Cover it with carpet
Warm fluff, soft moss.
Day by day I ride through the forest
Collecting soft moss
And a nut if I meet,
In the pantry with him I lope!
Well, what if in the meadow
I'll find a mushroom
Then come in the winter -
I will definitely eat.
The autumn leaf flies around,
Falling leaves are falling from the branches.
Look, look
I change my outfit.
Was red, now
The coat is thicker and lighter,
Silver tail -
Grey, fluffy.

4. V: And now let's have a rest.

7. Summary of the lesson

Did you enjoy the activity?

What do you remember?

What do you remember interesting?

The seasons play a huge role in the life of animals. For them, each season is a period of a certain activity. If a person can transfer his plans or change his lifestyle, then animals are not capable of this. Living by the rules of nature is in their blood.

Spring

How do animals celebrate spring?

Spring for all animals is a period of new life. After a long and calm winter, all representatives of the animal world begin to actively prepare for the onset of a hot summer.

Spring days in the life of animals are accompanied by a change of coat - from winter to summer. Squirrels change their gray skin to bright red. They are increasingly found in parks. Squirrels jump through the trees in search of food.

Chipmunks wake up after hibernation. Outwardly, it can be confused with a squirrel, but the main difference is the five dark stripes on the back. Chipmunks have been stocking up on food since winter, before they hibernate. Therefore, these animals, with the advent of spring, are not puzzled by the search for what they can get enough of.

But bears, also hibernating, do not care about what they will eat after a long sleep. Therefore, in the spring they leave their dens in search of food.

For wolves, spring is the time when they breed. Little wolf cubs are in the den of their parents until such time as they have the sight to navigate well in space. Being small, they are very similar to foxes, only the tips of their tails are not white, but gray.

Hares begin to molt, changing their winter white skin to gray and less warm. Also, raccoon dogs, waking up after hibernation, change their color to a less remarkable one. The color of the coat is of great importance. In winter, the skins are white, this makes it possible to merge with the snow-white cover of the earth if a predator hunts nearby. Gray wool in the summer also serves as a kind of camouflage.

In early spring, hedgehogs wake up, because in April they have to breed.

Summer

animal life in summer

Summer is the most favorable period in the life of animals. Long sunny days, warmth and plenty of food, undoubtedly, delight the animals. At this time of the year they are especially active. They are not yet preparing for winter, but they are preparing their offspring for the harsh period. Therefore, animals are in constant search of food for their cubs in order to saturate them with useful substances and vitamins.

Herbivorous mammals sometimes go out of their habitats, because what they feed on grows everywhere. Fresh juicy leaves allow them to stock up on useful substances for the future.

For birds, summer is a feast, because they can find treats absolutely everywhere. Midges, worms, caterpillars, fish - all this is their food in the summer. Also, birds are assistants to gardeners. They eat all the pests that can destroy the crop.

Despite the fact that summer is the most active period in the life of animals, there is one exception. Gophers prefer to rest on these warm days. And to saturate with vital energy, they go hunting at night.

The most active animals in the summer are squirrels, wolves, bears, and various rodents. Also love this time: giraffes, camels, hyenas, cheetahs, monkeys and many others.

Autumn

Change in animal life in autumn

Autumn is the period of preparation for the winter cold. How they live through the autumn, what they manage to do during this time, their life in the winter depends. Furry, feathered, predators - everyone should take this preparation responsibly, because their own life and the life of their offspring is at stake.

Insects are the first to feel the arrival of cold weather. They begin to build minks for themselves, seek shelter, which most often falls on fallen leaves or tree bark. Here they will spend the whole winter.

Butterflies have their own way of surviving the cold period - they turn into pupae.

Toads, frogs, snakes and lizards are also among the first to hide. Some frogs live closer to bodies of water so that when cold weather sets in, they dive into them and sleep at the bottom until warm days return. But toads, on the contrary, hide on land. Their winter refuge is tree roots or rodent burrows.

Forest animals in the autumn begin to eat often and satisfyingly, because they need to accumulate a supply of substances and fat that will help them survive in severe frosts.

And squirrels, mice and moles begin to stock up on food for the future. They bring as many nuts, berries and cones as possible into the house.

Most animals go through a natural process of pre-winter molting. They again change their skins to warmer and less attractive ones.

Winter

How animals hibernate

As a rule, only those animals that are capable of hibernation hibernate. And those who are categorically afraid of the cold run away to the southern regions.

Animal life freezes in winter. In autumn, everyone prepared for themselves the shelters in which they now live. The cold is not terrible for those warmly dressed in their skins: hares, squirrels, arctic foxes, foxes, wolves, elks and many others.

And some just fall asleep: raccoons, marmots, chipmunks, badgers, bears and other animals.

Mollusks burrow into the mud for the winter. Also minks prepared for themselves wasps, bumblebees, tarantulas.

Newts hide on the shore, in a thick layer of fallen leaves or branched tree roots.

Gophers, hamsters and jerboas prefer sleep in winter.

In late August - early September, ground squirrels, hamsters, jerboas climb into their deep holes and fall asleep.

Conversation "How wild animals prepare for winter."

Winter will come soon. The animals of the forest have the hardest time. They are getting ready for winter. Some animals will sleep peacefully in their houses all winter. Who is it? Bear and hedgehog. Three months is a very long time, so now these animals must eat properly, accumulate a lot of fat so as not to freeze and not get hungry until spring. They insulate their houses.

Where is the hedgehog hiding? In the hole.

Where will the bear sleep? In the den.

But there are animals that do not have a house and they will run through the forest all winter, looking for food.

The hare changes his summer coat for winter. It is not only warmer, but also a different color.

What? - Why white?
- From whom do the hare's long legs and white fur coat save? From fox and wolf.

These are predatory animals. If a hare is caught, it will not be good. The fox has a house - a hole, where she can hide from the winter cold, and the wolf has a wolf's lair.

Do the fox and wolf need to change their fur coats for new, winter ones? Of course you do.
After all, in the summer we wear light clothes so that it is not hot, and in winter we put on warmer clothes, so the animals also have to change clothes.
This does not mean that they take off their skins and put on new ones, they just grow a different, warmer fur. This period in the life of animals is called molting.

Another small fluffy inhabitant of the forest, which changes the color of its coat for the winter.
The squirrel was red all summer, and by winter it becomes gray.

Where does the squirrel live? In the hollow
How did she prepare for winter?
She collected mushrooms and berries all summer and autumn and hid them in various places. In winter, she looks for her reserves, but, unfortunately, she does not always find them. But in the place where the cones or nuts were hidden, a small sprout may appear in the spring and in a few years a new tree or bush will grow here.

But this handsome forest man wears a beautiful decoration on his head.
- Who is it? Elk.
- What do moose eat? Plants.
How many plants can be found in the forest in winter?
There are many trees and shrubs in the forest. It is their bark that this big beast eats. How much does he need for food? Lot. Therefore, foresters feed these beautiful animals so that they can overwinter. Forester - a person who monitors the safety of the forest.

Most animals grow thick and fluffy hair by winter. This is where they get warmer. Animals take care of the insulation of their homes. So, the squirrel lining its nest in the hollow of a tree with moss, dry grass and wool. The hedgehog lines the nest with dry leaves and moss, burrows into them, curled up in a ball, and falls asleep for the whole winter, because frogs, mice, lizards, various insects, worms that it feeds on also hide in secluded places with the onset of cold weather. During the summer and autumn, hedgehogs store a lot of fat under the skin, so you can relax in the winter. Badgers also hibernate. They live in forests and bushes, feed on various roots, fruits, worms, insect larvae, and mice.

The brown bear diligently prepares his lair under the roots of trees or in dry land. The brown bear is an omnivore. It feeds on roots, berries, small animals, ant eggs, wild bee honey. In winter, he cannot find such food: animals hide, plants are covered with snow. By winter, bears have a lot of fat under their skin, and they also hibernate.

The squirrel feeds on seeds that it will always find in the forest.

The fox and the wolf are constantly on the prowl in search of prey. They do not store food and do not hibernate. These are predatory animals. They eat various animals. The fox preys on mice, hares and other small animals. Wolves also attack large animals: elks, deer, wild boars.

Hares don't build houses. Each bush for them can be a home. They don't stock food. Although it is hungry in winter, when the fields are covered with snow, young twigs of bushes, tree bark can always be gnawed in a forest or forest belt. After all, rabbits are herbivores. In late autumn, they feast on cabbage leaves, carrots, and beets in the fields.

Small animals - weasels for the winter change the color of their fur from red to snow-white. They feed mainly on mice and similar voles, and this is beneficial to agriculture. Destruction of weasels is prohibited by law.

On a summer evening you can see flying animals - bats. Their front legs have evolved into wings. In autumn, some bats fly to warmer climes, while the rest spend the winter in caves and buildings. There they sleep, hanging upside down and folding their wings. Bats are useful animals, they eat many harmful insects. They need to be protected. There are species of bats listed in the Red Book.

The Red Book is not an ordinary book. The names of animals and plants are written into it, of which there are few left or they are already completely disappearing. Red is a warning, an alarm signal: save animals and plants, do not let them disappear.

Hello our dear moms and dads! We continue the autumn theme and today we will tell the children about the life of animals in the fall.

In autumn, animals prepare for the harshest time of the year - winter. The life of furry, feathered and other inhabitants of forests, fields, city parks, squares depends on how this preparation goes.

Insects are among the first to react to weather changes.

Most of them are looking for cozy shelters in which to sleep through the winter. They find these shelters under fallen leaves, under bark that has lagged behind a tree trunk, in the crevices of houses.

But butterflies turn into pupae and so wait out the cold winter.

Lizards, snakes, frogs, toads are in a hurry to leave for the winter. Brown grass and green frogs stay closer to water bodies in autumn, at the bottom of which they hibernate. Toads seek shelter on land: under the roots of trees, in the minks of small rodents.

In autumn, lizards crawl deeper into their minks, under moss, into fallen leaves, under tree roots, into rotten stumps.

When the cold comes and insects disappear, migratory birds - swallows, swifts, flycatchers - begin to prepare for a journey to warm countries.

Forest animals are also beginning to prepare for winter. Some of them begin to eat a lot so that fat forms under their skin, which will warm the beast well in the winter cold. For example, bears and badgers. Many inhabitants of the forest make stocks for the winter (squirrels, mice, moles), prepare winter housing.

In autumn, many animals begin to shed - they grow a warm undercoat, and the fur changes its color.

In a white hare, the entire fur coat becomes white, and only the tips of the ears are black, and in a hare, the fur coat brightens only on the sides.

The squirrel turns gray by winter, changing its bright fiery red coat to a more inconspicuous one in winter.

When snow appears and it gets colder, some animals go into hibernation. Such animals include hedgehogs and bears, which cannot feed themselves in winter.

That's all for today. Soon a presentation on the topic “Animal Life in Autumn” will appear on Yasnaya Solnyshka.

Also, you can get my free book.

Sincerely.
Elena Medvedeva.
