This week we have spent time finding out how animals have adapted themselves to the environments they live in - with a focus being on animals living in the desert. The children gathered information on desert animal's adaptations before presenting what they had found out. They were allowed to present their information in a number of different ways and I was really pleased with the focus and quality of their work. Following this, we then looked at 9 key adaptations for life in the desert and rated them in a 'diamond 9' formation, with the most important 1 at the top down to the least important 1 at the bottom. We then used this to create our own animals suitable for living in a desert! Later in the week, we talked about shark adaptations (thinking back to the Live Lesson that we had at the beginning of November). The children thought about the adaptations and what would happen if those adaptations hadn't happened or weren't there anymore. To end the week's science learning, I read the children a story called Moth all about how the peppered moth had evolved. We then began an investigation to explore how the moth's population changed over time.
