Reception Learn about animals

Date: 20th Mar 2026 @ 10:23am

Over the past few weeks the children have been busy finding out about different animals from around the world.  We discussed what animals need to survive as well as exploring their diet and their habitat.  The children sorted different animals into catagories depending on whether they were a carinvore, herbivore or omnivore.  They also explored different habitats around the world including the desert, polar regions, rainforest, savannah and the ocean.  The children learnt about how the animals have adapted inorder to survive in different conditions,

"Polar bears have blubbler to keep them warm"  

"Octapuses change colour to hide from predators"

During our oracy sessions we explored new vocabulary to describe the different habiats.  The children then sorted animals into different catagories as well as making their own habitats at the creative area.
