On Monday this week, Colin who is a zoologist and friend of Aidan, came in and we learned lots of interesting facts about mammals. Colin took us outside and we measured out the size of a blue whale on the playground. Even if we all lay down, our class are not as big, end to end as a blue whale. If we were to end up in the mouth of a blue whale, our whole class would only take up the front of it’s mouth. Luckily, if we did end up in a whale’s mouth, it wouldn’t be able to swallow us because it’s throat would be too narrow, phew!

Using timers, we checked to see if any of us were as fast as cheetahs. Guess what? None of us were as fast. Some of us were as fast as domestic pigs, some us were as fast as squirrels. No one was as slow as a sloth.

We loved having Colin in. We absolutely love learning animal facts!
