Animal Safari - Summer Term 1

In the Animal Safari project, the children will learn about incredible animals that live worldwide. They will explore various animal habitats and compare the animals that live there with animals in their locality. They will learn how to care for pets and what all animals need to grow, survive and stay happy and healthy. They will explore animal features and find out how they survive in the wild. They will compare the ways that animals are similar and different.

Our big question this term is: Which animal could it be?

Week 2

This week we have been talking about our pets. We created a pictograph to show the different types of pets we have in our class. We learnt about how to care for them and discovered the common things that all animals need. 

In Guided reading this week we read "If dogs could talk." We then created a class poem using words we thought our pets would say. 

Week 1 

This week we have been learning about minibeasts. We started by naming them and learning which are insects and which are not. We then went on a minibeast hunt. The children loved searching high and low, collecting them, counting their legs, body parts and talking about how they move. We also enjoyed looking at the butterflies in class one before they were released. We were very shocked to discover that our beetles had started eating a worm so very quickly released all for minibeasts back into our garden. During play we also made a bug hotel!
