This lesson is to introduce the topic of animals to your child and for them to get excited about their topic. We had originally planned to visit Chester Zoo. However, as that is not possible, we would like you to allow your child to explore the live webcam at Edinburgh zoo found at www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/webcams/ and complete the tasks below.
Lesson 2
Learning objective: I can describe the similarities and differences of three different animals.
Look at the three animals below. Can you describe what is the same and what is different about these animals?
Can you find three of your own animals on the internet and repeat this task?
Penguin Pig Crocodile
Similarities Differences
Vocab/ hints Head, body, legs, wings, hair, feathers, water, swim, movement, scales, teeth, food, beak
Lesson 3
Learning objective: I can compare, sort and group different animals.
PRACTICAL ACTIVITY - Look at the different animals on the following page (Resource 1). Can you cut them out and sort them into these categories?

Lesson 9 - Learning objective: I know what is meant by carnivore, herbivore and omnivore and can sort animals into these categories.
To begin, can you discuss this question with your grown up?
Why are a tiger’s teeth sharper than a giraffe’s? Watch the video ‘Learning About Herbivores, Carnivores, and Omnivores’ found on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCFU3tLdjRY. (It’s a bit silly but the children love it!) Can you sort these animals into the Venn diagram below? If you’re stuck, you can use the internet to help you.

Lesson 12
Learning objective: I can identify the five senses.
We will be exploring our senses today. Adults, please could you secretly collect 2 different familiar foods for your child (e.g. a banana and an orange).
PRACTICAL TASK - You will be blindfolded and will record what you think the food is after exploring each sense.
Food number 1 My prediction
Sound
Smell
Touch
Taste
Look
Food number 2 My prediction
Sound
Smell
Touch

Why do you think an animal’s senses are so important? Discuss with your grown up.
Lesson 13
Learning objective: I understand why senses are important for an animal to survive.
QUICK THINK – How quickly can you recall the five senses?
DISCUSSION - Senses are really important for a range of different animals to survive in the wild. Can you infer why you think these animal’s senses are so important to their survival? Discuss your answers with your grown up.
1. An owl’s ears are behind the eyes and at the sides of their head. Their hearing very strong. Why?
2. Moles have a heightened sense of smell. Why do you think that is?
3. Foxes have a heightened eyesight and can see in the dark. Why?
Lesson 14 - Assessment
Here is your chance to be creative. Can you design your own animal and create a poster about your animal? Please include…
Draw what it looks like Is it a mammal/ reptile/ amphibian/ bird/ fish? How do you know? What does it like to eat? Is it a carnivore/ herbivore/ omnivore? Where does it live? Does it like hot places or cold places? Is it awake in the day or night? Does it live in the wild or as a pet?
