Today, Year 3 went on their school trip to Lotherton Hall. Lotherton Hall is full of animals and history which is perfect for our Science and History learning at the moment!
The focus today was Science – animals including humans. We discussed five ways we can group animals based on their characteristics:
- mammals
- reptiles
- birds
- fish
- amphibians
We looked at x-rays and replica skulls and classified them based on what we could see. For example, some animals had a backbone and others didn’t or some had wings and others didn’t.
We explored the Wildlife World and the playgrounds (of course!) The weather was great too so we were outside for most of the time. Take a look at us exploring…
Help at home by grouping animals based on their characteristics. What do penguins and flamingos have in common?
Why not take a trip to Lotherton Hall yourselves? There are some Halloween activities on this month until early November. https://museumsandgalleries.leeds.gov.uk/lotherton/
