Term 2

We have started of the Term by looking at Living Creatures.  We have a good display of books and pictures of animals.  We have talked about the word "camouflage" and how animals adapt to their environments.

Here is our classroom display....

We have learned that all living things need food, shelter, water, and oxygen to breathe to survive in their environment.
We have talked about the Elephant.  The Elephant has a long trunk so it can drink water, this helps it to survive in it's environment.  It also has long ears to help it hear things coming from a long way away.  The Elephant skin is brown or grey so they can camouflage themselves from other living creatures.
The mountain goat adapts to it's environment by having hooves on the bottom of its feet so it can grip onto the rocks and mountains without slipping.  If it didn't have these it would not survive in its environment.
