Class 5 spent the morning looking at different types of animals, we practised saying the word ‘characteristics’ and ‘amphibian’ and now we are experts! In groups the children helped each other to read the fact files for different animal groups, in order to complete a scavenger hunt sheet to find out which animal groups had certain characteristics. We found out the only Mammals give birth to live babies, which is how we know what a shark must be a fish, because it lays eggs!
In the afternoon we even wrote some beautiful sentences about what we had learnt. Now, class 5 are talking about how birds have feathers, are warm blooded and lay eggs. After practising, we can say the word Amphibian and know that if an animal is an amphibian, it was wet skin, webbed feet and also lay eggs!
