Thank you for looking at my resource.

This resource includes a fully comprehensive powerpoint ,worksheets/resources catering to a wide range of abilities, preparation list and a lesson plan.

This is the first lesson in a sequence. The lesson can be taught independently without the need for the previous lessons or the future lessons. This lesson can be picked up and taught straight from however is fully editable.

Children will start the lesson by recapping on their prior learning via a game of which is an animal out of two choices. Recapping on prior learning will ensure that it as at the forefront of children’s minds ensuring they make connections and understand their new learning.

Children will be taught a definition of animal. This will be applied to several tasks to ensure the meaning is embedded.

Children will be introduced to Zack a zoo keeper . All lessons are based on learning generated from problem solving. Children will learn that Zack has done several things wrong, but the issue is the task doesn’t name the animals e.g. putting animals such as a giraffe in water.

Children will be shown animals grouped into the 5 main animal groups. This will support learning in the next lesson where children will be defining the five main animal groups.

Independent application - Children will have an animal guide and will need to find an animal that starts with each letter of the alphabet.

Helping hands - Support teacher ‘expert’ group.
Chilli challenge - Children to be given an opportunity to think further about individual animals.
