Hello everyone!
Just a wee update to let you all know what the primary 7s are up to in school this week.
Today we began our new mini topic – Animal biodiversity and adaptations. The children learned about the 6 main animal groups; mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, amphibians and insects. We learned about their key characteristics and how we can identify them. The platypus proved to be difficult! We also used classification keys to identify a series of invertebrates and also made our own keys to identify a group of insects.
This afternoon, we created signage for the school leavers’ assembly. This involved making signs as well as stars to decorate the stage. Tomorrow we will continue with our new mini topic and learn about animal adaptation.
The children have some questions they would like to ask those who are in France:
How is the weather?
What is the food like?
Finally, the children would like to say “we hope no one was sick on the ferry and that you all have an amazing time!”
