Science
We are learning that animals can be put into different groups because they have features that are the same as each other.
These groups are called:
Mammals, Reptiles, Amphibians, Fish and Birds
Can you remember which group we learned about last week? That’s correct – it was reptiles. Can you tell somebody in your family a fact you can remember about reptiles?
This week we are going to learn about amphibians.
Click on the link below to see what features amphibians have.
Go onto Espresso, KS1, Science, Animals, Videos – watch the video called Amphibians
Still on Espresso, go onto Images – click on Amphibians (gallery) to see pictures of lots of animals that are amphibians.
Click on the link below to learn some more about amphibians. Watch the video, play the game and take the quiz. Be careful when you play the game – one of the animals is not what you might think it is!!!!

In your home learning book write the title Amphibians at the top of an empty page. Using what you have learned, you are going to make a fact file about amphibians. Write down at least 2 things that amphibians have in common. Draw and label at least 2 animals that are amphibians. What do amphibians do in the Winter? Why do they do that? Include any other interesting facts you have learned about amphibians.
Click on the link below to see another amphibian. Do you know what it is? Can you label its body parts? Write the numbers 1 to 6 in your home learning book and write the correct body part next to each number using the word bank at the top.
If you email your fact file to admin@st-agnes.manchester.sch.uk we can put it on the website to share with your friends.
Handwriting
Watch the Espresso video for how to write t. Can you remember which letter family t belongs to?
Practise with your magic pencil in the air. Ask someone in your family to put a little bit of flour, salt or sugar (any powder will do) on a plate and practise making t in it.
Now practise writing t on the sheet in LAST HALF TERM’S home learning pack. This letter is an ascender so it has a long neck that starts above the grey line.
Can you remember which letters are in the Curly Caterpillar family?
Click on the link below and watch the video to remind you how to form them. Do Activity 1
