FS1 Red Class - Dear Zoo

FS1 Red class have been thoroughly enjoying their learning based on the the year group book 'Dear Zoo' this week. So far....they have re-told it to me using the pictures page by page, filled in the words I missed out for them, repeated recurring refrains and predicted which animals might fit into which box. They also loved learning the new vocabulary in the story e.g. fierce...then trying to give other examples of how we would use the word 'fierce'.  Mrs. Dowland: "Is a puppy fierce?" All: 'No!" Mrs. Dowland: "Is a tiger fierce?" All: "Yes!" Mrs. Dowland: "Is a snake fierce?"  All: ....(quiet...then a mixed response). We then discussed the difference between fierce and scary and they decided that tiger, lions, sharks are fierce and snakes and spiders are scary. It was a really deep and challenging discussion.


Well done Red class! I am so proud of you all and I look forward to where our discussions lead our learning next week.

  2. Red class this sounds exciting. The Larks favourite Zoo animal is a giraffe. Do you know if a giraffe is fierce?
