Our Y1 children have been learning about the body parts that some animals have and humans do not. Examples include tusks, horns, fins, wings, fur, feathers, claws, paws and even a trunk. Everyone then designed their own imaginary animal, choosing a mix of different body parts.
As a class, we discussed which animal groups (fish, bird, mammal, amphibian or reptile) each creation might belong to—and decided that most of them actually fitted into more than one group!
