Today we have been learning about animal classification. We borrowed some books from the library on mammals, reptiles and amphibians to help us with our research. Following this we categorised our plastic animals into the various groups.
The children made books about what they had found out
in which they drew pictures and wrote simple sentences about the characteristics of each group.
In the afternoon we had a chance to handle some reptiles including a snake, gecko and bearded dragon at a home education workshop.

Each child also had the opportunity to hold a giant snail (molluscs) and an African millipede (arthropod.) Fortunately the adults didn't have to participate!
