Science – Animal Groups
Today for Science we are going to learn more about different animal classes or groups. No, animal classes are not like the classes people have at school!
An animal class (or group) is made up of animals that are all alike in important ways. Scientists have grouped animals into classes to make it easier to study them.
There are many different animal classes and every animal in the world belongs to one of them. The five most well known classes of vertebrates (animals with backbones) are:
- mammals Click here to learn more about mammals
- birds Click here to learn more about birds!
- fish Click here to learn about fish!
- reptiles Click to learn about reptiles here!
- amphibians. Click here to learn about amphibians!

SPLAT
Splat is a fun game we play in class. You can play at home too and can use it for reading, spelling or Maths!
On a big pience of paper or on little bits of paper, write down some tricky words (was, all, because, they etc.). Then spread them out and one person has to tell the other person to find a word e.g. ‘ Find the word because’ and you use your hand or a spatula to splat the word ‘because’. It’s so simple but fun! You can even do it with numbers, odd and even numbers, addition and subtraction sums e.g. ‘Find the total of 4 and 6’ (would splat 10).
Give it a go and play some Splat. You can also find an interactive number splat grid to 100 online too. We also use this in class.
