Today we spent a little bit of time of trying to sort a large number of animal pictures. Some of the categories that we used to sort our animals were:
Farm Animals, Desert Animals, Reptiles, Rainforest Animals, Amphibians, Flying Animals, Ground Animals, Australian Animals, Ocean Animals, just to name a few. We then talked about the animals that help us. We had some great suggestions. For example, birds help us to know that snakes are close by because they squawk and make quite a ruckus. Snakes help us by providing anti-venom for when they actually bite us. Worms help us by providing us with compost. Bees help us by providing honey and pollenating our plants. Horses, cows and camels also help by carting things or supplying us with things such as milk and fibres.
In Maths, we looked at the 100s chart. Mrs Fellows hid numbers and we had to work out which ones she had hidden. But we were way too clever. She didn’t trick us.
