Classifying Animals

We have been learning about classifying animals. First we have to sort animals into two big groups, vertebrates (with a backbone) and invertebrates (without). The pictures below are the groups we sorted them into. We migth change our minds the more we learn. We learnt that animals without a backbone have the protection on the outside of their body from a shell or hard case (exoskeleton).

We have been sorting vertebrates and learnt how to classify animals into fish, bird, mammal, reptile and amphibian. Test us out at home- we are really good at working out tricky ones like bats and whales.

  This video was a real favourite in Room 2. Everyone wanted it on the blog so here it is.
