In Science this week Year 1 have continued to look at animals (including humans). This week our enquiry was ‘Why are animals grouped in different ways?’

The children got into partners and were each given an animal to compare and contrast. The children looked closely at the features of the animals and then grouped them together based on their characteristics. Here is what some of the children discovered:

“Those animals and have wings and feathers so they must all be birds.”

“They can all lay eggs and have scales so they can be grouped together.”
