• 🦁🐸 Year 1 Science – Animal Classification 🐶🐟

  Wed 14 Jan 2026

  Our Year 1 children have been busy learning how to classify animals!

  
  Through hands-on activities, they sorted common animals such as pets, farm animals and wild animals into groups by observing simple features like:

  ✔️ Fur, feathers or scales
  ✔️ Legs or wings
  ✔️ Living on land or in water

   

  The children also explored basic animal groups including mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians, talking about how animals are similar and how they are different.

   

  By using sorting, observation and simple descriptions, the children are developing their understanding of the world around them in a fun and practical way. 🌍✨
