Our Science topic this half term is Animals and their habitats. We have been finding out what makes things alive. We developed a set of questions to help us to find out-

1. Can it move?

2. Can it breath?

3. Can it have babies?

4. Can it see, hear, feel, taste and smell?

5. Does it need water?

6. Does it need food?

We looked at lots of different images and decided if they were alive or not. We then used the images and discussed if they were living, non-living or  were once living. 

We had lots of discussions about the things that were once living. We looked at a tree with leaves, a broken tree branch and a tree in winter. We talked together about the winter tree and why it looked dead but was still alive.

Wood from trees.

Meat from animals.

A cotton bobbin, wood from a tree and cotton from a plant.
