Let me know what you found out.

Groups 4 and 5 – Go outside and try to find 5 different flowers. Take photos or draw them. Try to find out what they are by asking your family or looking online.

Watch this video clip of different Scottish plants to see if any of them are the same as the ones you found.

Groups 6 and 7 – Try this pet shadow matching activity and as you do say whether the animals are mammals / amphibians / birds / reptiles or fish

Then go outside and see what animals you can spot

If you found that easy, try to find out what the difference is between a vertebrate and an invertebrate and then try this power-point activity:

If you want a challenge, try to find out what an exoskeleton is and what animals like Octopi have instead of a spine.

Let me know how you get on.

Group 8 – Please could you continue with activities listed on Science sheets included in your take home packs. Why not try the senses activities and then have a go at learning this senses song:

Groups 9 and 11 – Please carry on with your topic work. Remember we talked about this in school and I described the activity in last week’s Science post.
