Topic

Now that we have learned how to classify animals using keys that means we have come to the end of our ‘Animals’ topic. Perhaps this week you could make a poster showing all the things you have learned during our topic? You could include habitats, adaptations, food chains, vertebrates & invertebrates, classification and anything else you can remember. In the meantime I will have a think what Topic we could learn about next, if there is anything you would like to suggest perhaps you could leave me a wee comment 😀

Remember to have a look on Studyladder for some activities too.

Take care,

Hello everyone! How are you all this week? We had a little bit of excitement at home this week as the caterpillars we had been looking after finally emerged from their chrysalis as butterflies and we released them in our garden, the boys were really excited although Max was a little sad not to have them at home anymore. If you have any news or anything you would like to tell me about please leave a wee comment, I miss you all and I would love to hear how you are all getting on.

Here are some new tasks for this week, there are a few options for Maths, Reading and Spelling so that you can do the one which is best for you. You do not have to do them all.
