Hi Everyone!
We had some eventful weeks! Let us tell you all about it...
First of all we learnt two new sounds and we finished Jolly Phonics' group 3
/f/ as in FISH - FOX - FUN and FROG.
and /b/ as in BIG - BAG - BED and BED
We learnt a lot about classifying animals. We now know that animals can be classified into:
1. How they move:
- some animals can walk, jump or run because they have legs.
- some animals can swim with their fins.
- some animals can fly with their wings.
- some animals can drag their bodies.
2. The ways animals are born.
- Animals that develop inside an EGG like turtles, eagles and fish are called OVIPAROUS.
- Animals that develop inside the WOMB of their mothers like mice, dogs and koalas are called VIVIPAROUS.
3. Animal teeth.
- Animals like pumas, lions and polar bears are CARNIVORES, they have sharp teeth to tear into meat.
- Animals like sheep, cows and zebras are HERBIVORES, they have flat teeth that allow them to grind up food.
- Animals like brown bears and foxes are OMNIVORES, they have both sharp and flat teeth.
4. Two of four legs.
- Animals that walk on TWO FEET like ducks and kangaroos are called BIPEDS.
- Animals that walk on FOUR FEET like pigs and hippos are called QUADRUPEDS.
We also had our 3rd mock exam on wild animals and we learnt the names of FARM ANIMALS
Last but not least, ARTSPOT, an educational theatre company came to our school to perform "D'ARTAGNAN DEFENDING THE CROWN". We had so much fun! The kids really enjoyed it.
