Animal Workshop

This afternoon we met some animals. The first animal we met was a snake!

We loved stroking the tortoise!

We met a bearded dragon!!

We were very brave holding the tarantula!!

The final animal we held was a centipede. We found out it has 250 legs!!

Amazing Animals

We finished our learning about animals off with some special visitors. It was great to meet some of the reptiles, mammals and insects that we have been learning about.

Friction 

We investigated using different surfaces. We discussed why we thought some material caused more friction than others. We showed fantastic collaboration.

Understanding forces

We identified which actions were an example of ‘push’ and ‘pull’. We know there are different types of contact forces. We used actions to remember these. Then we thought of examples for each type of force.

Animal Bingo 

We loved playing animal bingo and sorting animals into their groups!

What do animals eat?

We know animals who eat meat are called carnivores, those that eat plants are herbivores and if an animal eats everything it is an omnivore.

Conditions for Mould

We have worked scientifically to devise an experiment to test for the best conditions for mould. We varied the temperature and humidity then waited to report our findings. Why are warm, moist places best for fungus to grow?
