P1d Class Pets

On Monday 3rd September Primary 1d received a very exciting letter from the local pet shop. The owner had heard all about their new topic ‘Under the Sea’ and the children have been given the responsibility of taking care of two goldfish!

“We have to give them proper names!” Hollie

After some discussion we decided children should vote on their favourite names to make it fair. We came up with a big list of two names that ‘go together’. We took inspiration from our library books and films/ TV shows we had like.

The list included;

Buzz & Woody

Peter Pan & Wendy

Jack & Jill

Sebastian & Flounder

El Nombre & Little Juan

Tom & Jerry…

First, we took a ‘hands-up vote’ to narrow down our options to four.

The children have been learning about Data Handling in numeracy and thought an easy way to see our results would be on a pictograph.

I can collect objects and ask questions to gather information, organising and displaying my findings in different ways. MNU 0-20a

The votes started to come in…

Until the last fish was in place…

The results were clear for all to see. We would like to formally introduce you to… El Nombre & Little Juan 🙂

We have taken lots of time to come up with some rules and ways in which we can show respect towards out new class pets. We have set up a rota to give everyone a shot at taking responsibility for caring, feeding and cleaning out the fish tank!

We hope to learn lots about the world under the sea and how our actions affect the creatures who live there.

Keep checking for regular updates on how our fish are getting on!
