Creatures

For our home learning projects we pretended to be scientists who discovered a new species of animal. We invented our own creatures, drew them, made models of them in their habitats, and wrote fact files about them.

What a wonderful world

This term, in Pink Class, our topic has been: ‘What a Wonderful World’, where we have been finding out about different habitats- a home for animals and plants.

We visited the Northmoor Trust and identified the plants and mini- beasts that lived in the grasslands and woodland. We also looked for evidence of animal homes by looking for tracks and droppings. We found evidence of badger tracks.

In class we have used keys to identify the plants and animals that live in our school grounds. We researched food chains on the Internet and created some of our own.
