In Year 1 we have been learning all about Animals, including humans. This week, we built upon our prior knowledge of the 5 animal groups: Mammals, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds and Fish. We completed some Recap learning at the beginning of the lesson and Qasim pointed out that Insects are a group of animals and he's right although they don't belong to the 5 phylums that we are learning about. Insects belong to the phylum of Arthropoda and we are not studying those yet (thank goodness, they're a bit scary!)
Next, in groups and pairs we listed similarities and differences between animals from the same groups. At first we agreed that all birds could fly however when we talked about penguins we realised this couldn't be true!
