Hi, everybody.

My name is Mrs. Hart.

I'm so excited to be learning with you today and I'm going to be helping you all the way through this lesson.

Today's lesson is called animal structure and it's from the unit naming and sorting animals.

And by the end of today's lesson, you'll be able to describe and compare the structure of common animals.

We're going to start our lesson by looking at the key words.

These are important words that we're going to see throughout the lesson.

I'm going to say them first.

It'll be my turn.

And then I would like you to say them after me.

Your turn.

So our first word is, my turn, animal.

Your turn.

Our next keyword is body part.

My turn, body part.

Your turn.

My turn, structure.

Your turn My turn, describe.

Your turn.

My turn, compare.

Your turn.

Don't worry if you're not sure what these words mean as we'll be talking about them as we go through today's lesson.

Our lesson today is in two parts and we're going to start the first part of our lesson now.

This part of our lesson is called different animal bodies.

The world is full of lots of different animals and here we can see four photographs of some very different looking animals.

We can see a bear, a bird that's called a crow.

We can see a frog.

And lastly, we can see a fish.

Do all animals look the same? I would like you to have a good look at all four of these animals and have a chat with your partner next to you, and answer this question, do all animals look the same? You might like to pause the video now and come back when you've had time to have a chat.

Oh, how did you get on? Did you have a close look at the animals? What did you decide? I'm hoping that you've noticed that these animals do look very different to each other.

And we're going to find out more about this as we move through our lesson.

Different animals have different body parts.

Let's have a look at the horse in this photograph.

We can see it's got a head, two eyes, a mouth, four legs, and a tail.

And if we look closely at the labels, we can see they're pointing to one of the horse's eyes, its head.

Can you see at the very front of its head there? It's got its mouth.

It has fur over its body, and at the very end of the horse, we can see its tail.

And beneath that we can see one of its legs.

The parts of an animal's body are called its structure.

This was one of our key words today, wasn't it? So this is an important one for us to remember.

The different parts that make up an animal's body are called its structure.

And now we have our first check for learning.

I wonder if you can remember the answer to this one.

The parts of an animal's body are called its tail, its head, or its structure? Pause a video now and have a think.

What did you choose in the end? Well, I'm hoping that you said that the parts of an animal's body are called its structure.

A tail and a head might be part of this structure, but they don't describe all of different parts of an animal's body.

We would call that its structure.

Now we have a picture of a dog.

I would like you to have a look at the structure of this dog.

Do you remember that we said the structure with different parts of its body.

So have a look at the structure of this dog.

What different body parts can you see? You might like to pause the video now to give yourself time to think or to have a talk with your partner and come back in a minute.

Have a look at the different body parts that we can see.

Have you had a close look? What did you spot? Shall we see if we saw the same things? First of all, we can see, it's got two eyes and this label is pointing to one of them.

We can see at the very end of its head it's got a nose.

Very important for dogs 'cause they do love to sniff.

We could also see that this dog has got a tongue that's hanging out of its mouth.

Did you spot that too? It's also got four legs and this label is pointing to one of them.

It's got fur all over its body.

And lastly, we can see its tail.

Great work if that's what you notice too.

Now we have a very different looking animal.

This is a fish.

This fish has a different body structure to a horse and a dog because it has different body parts.

Again, I would like you to look really closely and see which body parts you can observe of this fish.

So pause the video now, have a think, have a really good look.

You might like to have a talk with the person next to you and then come back and we'll talk about the different body parts that you've observed in this fish.

Okay, let's have a look then, shall we? The first thing that I noticed were the scales on the body of the fish.

If you look really closely, they look perhaps like little tiny bumps, but these are the fish's scales.

Did you see it's got an eye? It will have an eye on the other side of its head too, but we can only see one in this photograph.

It's got a mouth at the front of its head.

I can see its tail.

This helps the fish to swim in the right directions.

Well done if you spotted that.

Here we can see a gill.

And this is something that helps a fish to breathe underwater.

And lastly, it has a fin, which similar to the tail, helps it to swim in the right direction.

Great work.

Did you spot anything different? Perhaps you did.

Great observation, everybody.

So now we've had a chance to have a look at those different animals.

I have another check for understanding for you.

This is a true or false check.

All animals have the same body parts.

Hmm, I wonder.

Do you think this is true or false? Pause the video now and have a think.

Do all animals have the same body parts? So what did you decide? Did you think that this was true or false? That's right, it was false.

But how do we know this? Is it, I think this because different animals look different and have different body parts? Or is it, I think this because animals are different sizes? Again, pause a video now, have a think about this question.

Have a chat to your partner next to you and then come back when you've had a chance to think about your answer.

So which one did you pick? Let's find out, shall we? So I think this because.

Different animals look different and they have different body parts.

And that's how we know that they do not all have the same body parts.

If you think about the fish and the dog and the horse that we saw, some of their body parts were the same, but quite a few of them were different.

So I'm hoping that that helped you to answer this question.

Well done, everyone.

Different body parts help animals to do different things.

Here we have a photograph of a frog.

And you can see this frog is leaping into the air.

And if you look at its legs, particularly at the legs at the back of its body, you can see it's got really strong legs and they help it to jump.

And that's great for catching food and escaping danger.

This woodpecker has a really long beak that helps it to reach its food.

You can see it's got something in its mouth now that's trying to eat.

Alligators have big mouths with lots of sharp teeth to help them to catch their food.

If you look closely at this photograph, can you spot the sharp teeth in this alligator's mouth? Owls have large wings that are covered in feathers and this helps them to fly quickly and quietly.

This means they can sneak up on their dinner without it noticing.

And this rather strange looking animal.

Have you seen it before? It's an anteater.

Can you guess what it eats? That's right, it eats ants and other insects, and its very long nose helps it to reach the things that it eats.

Well done, everybody.

And here's our next check for understanding.

We need to finish this sentence.

Different animals have different body parts to help them to.

Is it be a good pet? Do different things? Or look different to each other? Hmm, I wonder.

Pause the video now to have a think or a chat with your partner.

When you are ready, come back and we'll find out the answer.

So what did you decide? Let's find out, shall we? Different animals have different body parts to help them to.

Do different things.

And now we're onto the task for this part of our lesson today.

We've got two photographs here.

We have a lion and a frog.

And your job is to look really closely at each of these photographs and each of these animals and to label the different body parts of these two animals.

As we've seen throughout the lesson today, the lion and the frog might have some body parts that are the same, but they also may have body parts that are different.

So look very closely and label all of the different body parts that you can spot, firstly for the lion and then for the frog.

And when you are ready, come back and we'll have a look at how you got on.

Well, how did you do? Let's have a look at one that I did earlier.

Let's start with the lion.

Did you spot at the front of its head? It's got a mouth with some sharp teeth for eating its dinner.

Then I can see it's got two eyes and two ears for listening really carefully.

I can see it's got a back.

At the end of its body, there's a tail, and I can see that it's walking on its four legs.

Did you spot anything different? Well done if you did.

Let's have a look at the frog now.

So this time, I can see the frog's got two eyes.

I can see it's got tiny little holes at the front of its head, which I think are its nose.

And then beneath those it's got a a mouth.

I can see it's got a foot, and above the feet are some legs.

And like the lion, I can also see it's got a back.

Did you see anything different? Great work, everybody.

Now we have the second task for this part of our lesson.

And for this part of the lesson, you're going to need some dough, and I would like you to make an animal from dough and then explain the different body parts of this animal.

You could write labels for each animal or you could tell your partner about each part of the animal structure.

You might like to use an animal that we've seen in this lesson already.

A tiger, an alligator, an owl.

Perhaps you might like to choose a different animal.

It's up to you.

But you need to think carefully about the different parts that make up the structure of this animal.

Pause the video now.

Did you have fun? Which animal did you decide to make? I made three in the end.

I started with a frog and I had a really good look to see the different parts of his body.

I could see he had a long tongue for catching flies.

I could see he had eyes on top of his head and he had those really strong legs for jumping and for swimming.

I also made a shark.

I could see that he had sharp teeth and he had some gills on the side of his body, which would help him to breathe.

I could see his body was covered in a type of scale and he also had a tail at the end of his body to help him to swim really quickly.

The last animal I chose was a pigeon.

And I could see it had two wings.

Its body was covered in feathers.

It had a tail at the end of its body, two legs, and at the front of its head, it had two eyes and a beak.

Which animal did you choose? Did you have the same body parts as my animals, or perhaps you had something different? Did you have the same as your partner or maybe you had something different? Great work, everyone.

Now we're on to the second part of our lesson.

This part of the lesson is called describing and sorting animals.

Animals can be described based on the structure of their bodies.

And when we describe something, we look at it very carefully and we say what we see.

So if we look very carefully at this giraffe, we can describe its structure, the way its body is made up.

So a giraffe has four legs, a tail, and a really long neck.

A line of spiky hair runs along its neck and its back.

Can you see it there? On its head, it has a mouth, two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, and two blunt horns, which just means that they're not sharp or spiky.

And that is me describing a giraffe.

I've looked carefully at the picture and I've said what I can see, and that's how we describe something.

Did you spot anything different about the giraffe? You might have seen its hooves at the end of its legs.

Describing an animal can help others understand what an animal looks like or tell it apart from other animals.

Here we have Sofia, and Sofia is going to describe an animal to us.

She says, "This animal has four legs, a long nose, and its back is covered in prickly spines." Hmm, I wonder which animal is Sofia describing? Pause the video now to have a think or have a chat with your partner and come back when you think you've worked out which animal she's describing to us.

What did you decide? Well, when she said four legs, that could be a lot of different animals, and a long nose, I thought maybe anteater, but the prickly spines.

I don't think an anteater's got prickly spines on its back.

What did you decide? Ah, it was a hedgehog.

Thank you, Sofia, for your description.

Alex is observing an animal in his garden one night.

He describes it to his parents.

Alex says, "This garden animal has black and white fur.

It has four legs, claws for digging, and a long nose for finding food." Which animal do you think Alex is describing? Pause the video now and come back when you think you know which animal Alex is describing to us.

So what did you decide? I was thinking about different garden animals.

I thought maybe a squirrel.

I don't think they've got black and white fur.

What did you think? Let's find out, shall we? Oh, it's a badger.

Alex was describing a badger to us.

Thanks, Alex.

And great work, everybody.

Now we have our next check for understanding.

Which of these animals has four legs, tusks, big ears, and a long trunk? Is it a hedgehog, an elephant, or a turtle? So you're going to need to use your skills of observation, of looking really carefully at these photographs.

You're going to need to think about the structure and the different body parts of these animals to work out which animal is being described here.

Pause the video and come back when you think you have the answer.

What did you decide? Well, four legs.

I thought it could be the hedgehog or the elephant.

I'm not sure about the turtle.

I can't see it's got four legs.

Tusks, well, this kind of gave it away to me because I don't think the hedgehog's got tusks, as the turtle.

What about the elephant? That's right, it has.

And if we look, we can see the elephant has also got big ears.

And can you see its long trunk? Brilliant work, everyone.

Animals can be compared using the structure of their bodies.

When we compare something, we ask what's the same and what's different.

So let's look at these animals.

Something we can see that's the same is that all of these animals have tails.

We can see a gecko with its very long green and black stripe tail.

We can see this bird, which is called a great kiskadee, and it's got a brown and black tail.

And lastly, we can see this little mouse with its pink tail in the background of this photograph.

So these are things that are all the same about these animals.

We can compare how many legs these animals have.

Did you remember that comparing means we ask what is the same and what is different? This time, I think we've got some differences, because some of these animals have four legs.

This crocodile and this koala have got four legs.

This crow and this human, they've only got two legs.

And a snake and a salmon, well, these animals have no legs.

So these are things that are different.

Great comparing, everyone.

And here's our next check.

Jun and Lucas are sorting different animals.

Jun says, "I think all animals have four legs just like giraffes, lizards, elephants and frogs." Lucas says, "I think that different animals can have different numbers of legs." Who do you agree with? Pause the video now and come back when you've had a chance to have a think or a chat.

So who do you agree with? We know like Lucas, that different animals can have different numbers of legs.

So some animals have four legs and some have two legs like humans and some don't have any legs at all, like goldfish and pythons.

And well done if that's what you said as well.

These animals all have bodies that are covered in feathers.

And here we can see a robin, an owl, and a golden eagle.

And do you know what sort of animals these are? That's right, they're birds.

What else do you observe about the structure of these animals? Remember that the structure was the different parts that make up their body.

You might like to pause the video to have a think or a chat.

I can see that they've all got two wings.

They've got two eyes and a beak, two legs.

And as we know their bodies are all covered in feathers.

I can see at the end of their bodies they've all got a tail.

Did you notice anything different? Well done, everyone.

These animals all have bodies that are covered in scales or hard parts.

And here we can see an adder, which is a type of snake.

We can see a fish and an alligator.

What else do you observe about the structure of these animals? So again, have a really good look at each of these animals.

And what else do you notice about their different body parts, their structure? Pause the video now.

Oh, what did you notice? When I had a look, I noticed that the adder doesn't have any legs, does it? Neither does the fish.

The alligator's got four.

The alligator I can see has also got a really long tail and sharp spiky teeth.

It looks like it's got very sharp claws at the end of its feet as well.

What else did you notice? Great work, everyone.

We can sort animals by their structure.

So Laura is sorting animals into those with scales and those who do not have scales.

I wonder which animals she's found that have scales.

Let's find out.

She's found a snake, a fish, and a lizard, and she sorted those into the scale sorting hoop.

Next, she sorted all the animals that have no scales into the no scale sorting hoop.

And here she's put an elephant, a human, and a seagull.

Excellent sorting, Laura.

Andeep is sorting animals into those that have wings and those that don't.

I wonder what he would've put in the wings hoop.

Which animal would you put in there? Shall we see if it's the same as Andeep? So in the wings sorting hoop, he's put a blue tit, an osprey, and a barn owl.

Great work, Andeep.

Let's see which animals he chose with no wings.

What would you put in this sorting hoop? Well, Andeep has chosen a frog, a panda, and a shark.

Did you say any of those? Perhaps you said something different.

Great work, everybody.

And here's our next check.

Sofia's been busy sorting as well.

This time she's been sorting animals by how many legs they have.

Into the no legs sorting hoop, she has put goldfish and a snake.

Into the animals with two legs sorting hoop, she has put an ostrich and a penguin.

And into the animals that have four legs sorting hoop, Sofia has put a human and a giraffe.

Has she sorted all the animals correctly? Pause a video now to have a think or have a talk with your partner and check that Sofia has sorted all of these animals correctly.

Well, what did you decide? I had a good look at the animals with no legs.

And yeah, a goldfish doesn't have any legs, neither does the snake.

So I think Sofia's done a great job there.

What about the animals with two legs? Well, she's put a couple of birds into this sorting hoop.

But again, yep, the ostrich has got two legs and I can see the penguin's got two legs.

So yeah, I think Sofia's right.

Did you think that too? And the four legs, well, into the sorting hoop for animals with four legs, I can see a human and a giraffe.

Oh, Sofia, what's happened here? Well, the giraffe has got four legs, I can see that.

But human? Does a human have four legs? I don't think so.

No, the human shouldn't be there, Sofia.

Where should Sofia have put the human? She should have put it in the two leg sorting hoop because humans have two legs.

Well done if that's what you said too.

And now we're onto our next task.

We've got photographs of two animals and I would like you to describe these animals and their body parts to a partner.

So this is a talking task.

When we describe something, we look really carefully and we say what we see.

So your job will be to look really carefully at the photograph of the parrot and to describe what you can see and the different body parts to your partner.

Once you've done that, you can do the same with the iguana.

So again, look really closely at its different body parts and describe what you can see to your partner.

Pause the video now.

Well, how did you get on? Aisha and Izzy have been doing this task as well.

Aisha describes the parrot.

She says, "The parrot has a body that is covered in feathers.

It has two wings, a tail and a large beak." Oh, she's noticed lots of different body parts there, hasn't she? "It has two legs with two feet at the end.

It has sharp claws at the end of its feet." Is that what you said? Did you notice anything different? Let's find out what Izzy's going to tell us about the lizard.

Go on, Izzy, describe the lizard to us.

Izzy says that the lizard has two eyes and a mouth.

It has scales on its body.

It has four legs and a spiky back.

Great describing, Izzy.

Did you notice the same things as Izzy or perhaps you spotted something different? Well done, everybody.

And your next task is going to be sorting animals into different groups.

The animals I would like you to sort today are in this list here.

I'd like you to sort a horse, a human, a clownfish, a tuna, a lizard, a snake, a pigeon, a crow, a frog, and a newt.

You're going to sort them into different groups.

The first set of groups I would like you to sort them into are animals with no legs, two legs, and four legs.

So you're going to need three sorting hoops for that one.

Once you've sorted them and you've checked them and you've talked about it with your partner and you're happy that they're all in the right place, then I would like you to sort them into groups of animals that have wings and animals with no wings.

Again, check that you've got them all in the right places.

And then you can move on to the next groups.

And I'd like you to sort them into animals with gills and no gills.

And once you've done that and you've checked it, the last groups I'd like you to put them into are animals with scales and no scales.

That's a lot of sorting to do today.

So you're going to have to look really closely at the structure of these animals bodies.

Happy sorting.

How did you get on? Well, this was the first set of groups that I asked you to sort the animals into.

No legs, two legs, and four legs.

So in the no legs group, you should have the clownfish, the tuna, and the snake.

In the two legs group you should have the human, the crow, and the pigeon.

And in the four legs group, you should have the horse, the lizard, the frog, and the newt.

Great work, everybody.

The next group I asked you to sort them into were animals with wings and with no wings.

Well, there aren't very many in the wings group are there? I can see we've put a pigeon and a crow in the animals with wings sorting hoop.

And the no wings group, there were a lot in here.

You should have a clownfish, tuna, a horse, a human, a lizard, a frog, a newt, and a snake.

Did you do the same as me? Oh, great sorting if you did.

The next groups were animals with gills and no gills.

So the animals that are in the gills group are the clownfish and the tuna.

Do you notice anything about these animals? Yes, they're both fish, aren't they? Great work if you spotted that.

And animals with no gills, well, there are a lot in this one.

You should have the horse, a human, a lizard, a pigeon, a crow, a snake, a frog, and a newt.

So great work if that's what you said.

And here's our last group, animals that have scales and no scales.

In the animals that have scales group, you should have the clownfish, tuna, lizard, and the snake.

And the animals that have no scales should have the horse, human, pigeon, crow, frog, and newt.

Well done if that's what you said too.

And now we've reached the end of our lesson, and these are the things that we've learned today.

Different animals have different parts to their bodies, and these parts help them to do different things.

The parts of an animal's body is called its structure.

An animal can be described based on its structure.

Animals can be compared and put into groups based on their structure.

Well, I've really enjoyed learning with you today, and I hope that you've had a great time too.

I can't wait to see you again soon.

Well done, everybody.

Bye for now.
