Chinny and Yeni have finished their worksheets so they are sticking them in their books.

We are learning about animals. The children work in small groups on the mat with Miss Sue. This group is called Purple 1 and in this group are Jeff, Johnny, Winnie and Rain.This group is called Purple 1 and they are naming the animals Miss Sue is holding up.

They are looking at the different characteristics animals have, monkeys have a long tail and furry bodies.

These children are sharing ideas with each other. They are encouraged to talk about their work with each other in a quiet voice. This is Yellow Group 2, Kitty, Rain, Yenni, Brian and Angus.

Jeff, Winnie and Johnny are colouring pictures of the animals that live in the sea.They have to be careful not to colour the rabbit, because rabbits don’t live in the sea.

Johnny shows off his finished work. Well done Johnny!!

Miss Sue is describing animals and the children have to find the animal she is describing. Can you see the animal that is fat and gray and pink. It has a big mouth, two small ears and lives in the water? Yes it’s a hippo, it is the picture above the panda bears.

Vivian looks surprised.
