This week we have begun our new topic on ‘Amazing Animals’. Our theme was ‘Pets’. We started the week listening carefully to the story ‘Tabby McTat’ by Julia Donaldson. We explored what animals we could own as pets such as cats, dogs, rabbits, lizard, tortoise, horse, guinea pig, hamster, snake, fish and chicken! We discussed what we need to do to care for a pet and concluded that pets need a loving home, a space safe to live, water and appropriate food – we spoke about how certain foods can make animals poorly.
Our learning activities have included; drawing a picture about a pet they have at home and we have been writing sentences about our pets! If we don’t have a pet at home, we have been writing about what pet we would like. Children have been completing graphs to show what their friends favourite pet is out of a dog, cat, rabbit, fish and bird! In the creative area, we have been practising our careful cutting skills to cut out the body parts of animals then using split pins to join the parts together. For our funky finger activity, we have had to move pom poms around inside a plastic wallet to the hole and then squeeze them out!
