Science
Last week we were learning about birds. I hope you got to watch the live webcams of birds on their nests! I know a lot of you got to make birds nests outside! This week we will be looking at a range of mammals. Marcus has filmed some pigs for us which like to roam around freely in the New Forest at certain times of the year! Have a look at the clip below!

Success criteria:

With help, I can record and communicate my findings in a range of ways and begin to use scientific language.

What kind of animals have you found out about?
Was it a fish, amphibian, reptile, bird or mammal?
How do you know it is a mammal?
Why are mammals different to reptiles and birds?

Extra challenge!
Choose one of your favourite mammals. It could be a wild animal or one kept as a pet. Can you draw/write about it? Can you label your diagram? What are their special features? What kinds of habitats do they like to live in?
