Down on the Farm...

Our farming adventure is underway...to help us understand some of the ways animals can be grouped we read about Mammals, discussed what we heard, then wrote everything we could remember on post it stickies. When we put them onto our define map we had to decide if the information was relevant to Mammals or not relevant...

Then we used the relevant ideas to write a definition of a Mammal...

now we all understand what "Mammal" means!

We have learned a lot of new words (vocabulary) including the special names for the father, mother and baby animals...

And we've discussed what we get from a variety of animals - we were very surprised to learn that the leather shoes, handbags and belts are made of is actually animal skin!
