Class crabs

In Team Tui we have been learning all about sketching. We used pictures of crabs and had a go at copying them using charcoal and sketching pencils, they look fabulous!

Classifying animals

Today team tui looked at classifying animals. We classified some creatures that live I. Rock pools into different groups. We learnt about five differnt groups, fish, molluscs,Echinodermata, crustaceans and seaweed. Scientists identify animals in these groups by what they look like and how they behave. 

As a class we put the animals where we think they best fit.

Crabs

Today we learnt how to take notes!

As a class we read a book about crabs and had to record the key words to help us remember the different crab facts. This is also helping us to plan our writing. Keep your eyes peeled for how we are going to display our awesome facts!!

The rocky shore

Today we started learning about different areas of a rock pool, we learnt that there is a low tide zone, mid tide zone, high tide zone and splash zone. We looked at the different animals that live at each zone. Our independent activity for the afternoon was to match up some rock pool creatures and their names, this gave us the chance to get to know some of the different animals.

Clockwise

Today we became 'clockwise' and started learning about o'clock and half past. Some of us got our work finished early so we got the chance to use play dough to make hands on a clock.
