We started our first science lesson back, last week, by looking at some of the vocabulary we were expected to know and use during this topic. The children were asked to sort the vocabulary in any way they wanted: some chose to sort them in to words they knew and didn't know; others sorted them into words that were to do with animals, those to do with plants and other words. At the start of our second lesson we played ARTICULATE, where the children needed to describe one of the key vocabulary without saying certain words. They found it really difficult but, after some thought, they were actually very good at choosing precise words to help the rest of the children work out what word was! During the first lesson, the children were split into groups. Each child was expected to research one of the vertebrate groups and then report back to the rest of their group so, by the end of the lesson, everyone had learnt about some of the characteristics of all of the vertebrate groups as well as some animals that fit into them. To present their work, the children then produced exploding books.
