Animals around us
This term our children will be learning about animals, living both in our homes and on farms. We will learn the names of a range of farm animals and pets, and talk about how they live and what they eat.
Every week we will have a different animal visiting us. So far we booked a chicken, a dog and a turtle :).
Children will begin to understand how to care for living things, by learning about how to look after a pet. Our school pet Candy the guinea pig will take residency in our class for a few days. We will also closely observe our class pet Bob the fish.
Weekly visits to Forest School will help us to explore different habitats that our wild animals and creatures live in.
