Year 1 Science Vertebrates

Year 1 have been looking at Vertebrates in their Science lessons so we decided to go outside and see what vertebrates we could find in our school grounds. Firstly we looked at all the different groups of animals that have a backbone: Fish, Mammals, Reptiles, Amphibians and Birds and played a sorting game in groups and a run around quiz. Armed with lots of knowledge, we set out in pairs with clipboards to find as many of these animal groups as possible. In the afternoon we got creative and made an animal from the mammal group out of leaves and sycamore seeds, a Christmas Reindeer!
