Hi, everyone.

It's Miss Pantel here.

I am so glad that you've decided to join me on today's lesson.

Now today, we are going to be looking at naming and grouping some common animals.

Now, I know that there are going to be some animals in today's lesson that you've seen before and there may be some animals that you are not so sure about and you may have never heard of them before.

But please don't worry, because we are going to use lots of pictures to help us.

We've got lots of great learning to do today.

So let's get started.

The outcome for today's lesson is I can name and group animals that can be kept as pets, and maybe you have some pets that you can talk about in today's lesson as well.

So we are going to talk through some keywords now that we are going to use in today's lesson.

Now, when we speak about keywords, it's really important that we practise saying the keywords as well.

So I'm going to say the word and I would like you to repeat it back to me.

My turn, animal.

Your turn.

Super.

Well done.

My turn, familiar.

Your turn.

Super job.

My turn, pets.

Your turn.

Fantastic.

My turn, wild animal.

Your turn.

Superstar.

My turn, group.

Your turn.

Fantastic.

I'm so impressed with how you have said all of those words.

Well done.

We've had a great start to today's lesson already.

So our lesson today is split up into two sections.

So the first part we're going to be naming animals and the second part we're going to be grouping animals.

So let's get started with the naming first.

So animals are living things and they can move around and feed themselves by eating plants or other animals.

So we can see there a bird eating a worm, and maybe you've seen a bird eating a worm before.

And we know that different animals have different names.

Does anyone know the name of the bird shown in this photograph? Can you tell me? Well done, it's a robin and maybe you have seen a robin recently too.

Now can you name this animal? You may have seen one of these before.

What do you think? Amazing.

It's a pig.

Well done.

A pig is a common animal, and many pigs are farmed in England every year.

If you have seen pigs on farms or in books, they may have been a familiar animal to you.

So something that's familiar is something that you may have seen before or something you have maybe heard of before.

Can you name this animal? This is slightly a bit trickier.

Have a go.

Well done for having a good go.

It's actually a tapir.

Can you practise saying that for me? My turn, tapir.

Your turn.

Fantastic.

It's quite a tricky word to say, but you did a fantastic job at trying.

So this animal looks a bit like a pig, but it is called a tapir.

Tapirs often live in Central and South America.

Unless you have seen tapirs in a zoo or in books, they may not be a familiar animal to you.

So you may never even heard of a tapir before or seen a tapir before.

So let's do a quick check of our learning so far.

Which of these is an animal? A, tree; B, alligator; C, leaf.

Have a little think.

Fantastic, well done.

The answer is B, alligator.

Let's look at the next question.

Which is not true about animals? A, animals can move around; B, animals eat plants or other animals; C, animals make their own food.

Have a little think about which statement is not true about animals, and we will go through the answer shortly.

Fantastic work.

The answer is C, animals make their own food.

We know that is not true.

So we're going to move on to the first task now.

So I would like you to talk to your partner or maybe you might even get into a little group, which of these animals are familiar to you? Which animals can you name? So there are five different pictures on the board, and with your partner or in your little group, you can either talk about these different animals or maybe you could even write down the names of these animals or the ones that you know.

Have a go and we'll go through the answers soon.

Well done everyone for having a go.

So we had a shark, a mouse, a penguin, a bumblebee, and a frog.

Now some of you may have seen some of these animals before, but some of you may not have seen these before.

So the next task is I would like you to draw and write the names of at least three more animals that are familiar to you.

So animals that you know of, you have heard of, and you maybe even seen before.

And then I would like you to try and find out the names of three more animals that are not familiar to you.

And I would like you to draw these animals and write their names.

So have a think about three more animals that you do know and then I would like you to have a think and find out the names of three more animals that you maybe are not familiar with.

Have a go, and then we will go through some example answers very soon.

Good luck and off you go.

Fantastic effort, everyone.

Well done.

And I can see you've done some fantastic drawings.

I'm so impressed.

So we're going to talk through some example answers now.

So this task was asking you to draw and write the names of three more animals that are familiar to you.

So animals that you know of, you've heard of, and you maybe even seen before.

So one example is this.

So you may have drawn and written a koala, a dog, and some of you may have a dog as a pet at home, and a turtle.

So these are just three examples, but you may have written or drawn some other examples.

The next task was about finding out the names of three more animals that are not familiar to you.

So maybe animals you haven't heard of before or you may have seen before.

And so you needed to draw these animals and write their names.

So some examples might have been a viper, which is a very dangerous snake, a bat, or a trapdoor spider.

So these are just a few examples and you may have some that are similar, but you also may have drawn or written ones that are a little bit different.

But well done for having a great go at this task.

So I think everyone deserves a pat on the back here for doing some fantastic naming of animals and some animals you did know and some animals that you weren't so familiar with.

But you had a fantastic go, which is really, really great.

So we are now going to move on to grouping animals.

So we now know the names of quite a few animals, but we're now going to think about grouping them.

So, many animals are familiar to us because we look after them in our homes as pets.

So we've got a picture of a very cute French bulldog there having a little nap.

What other animals that are kept as pets can you name? So I want you to pause the video here, and in a small group, I would like you to either write, draw, or even just talk about other animals that could be kept as pets.

Pause the video here, have a go, and then we'll talk through some examples.

Amazing job, everyone.

Well done.

I can see you worked really hard there.

So there are lots of other animals that can be kept as pets.

We've got cats, we've got guinea pigs, hamsters, lots of different types of animals that can be kept as pets.

Do you have any pets? I don't unfortunately, but I would love to have a little dog to play around with and to have a cuddle with.

But unfortunately I do not.

Maybe you have a lovely pet that you can cuddle with when you come back from school.

Some animals should not be kept as pets.

They live freely in the wild and are called wild animals.

So a wolf, for example, is not an animal that should be kept as a pet because they should be living freely in the wild.

And they're called wild animals.

Wild animals find their own food, water, and shelter.

What other wild animals can you name? So have a little think, are there any other wild animals that you can name? Have a think with your talk partner.

Super job, everyone.

Well done.

So familiar animals can be compared and sorted into different groups.

Now remember, we've spoken about the word compared before in our lessons and we've said that when we compare, we look at things that are the same, but also things that are different.

So we can organise and sort animals into different groups.

For example, pets, not pets.

Which group does this animal belong to? So we've got a goldfish here.

Do we think this belongs to the pets group or not pets group? Hands up for pets.

Hands up for not pets.

Excellent.

It can go in the pet group because we know a goldfish can be a pet.

Well done, everyone.

Let's have a quick check of our learning so far.

Which animal could be kept as a pet? A, a cat; B, a tiger; C, a lion.

Which one do you think you could have as a pet? Have a think.

Fantastic work, everyone.

Well done.

The answer is A, a cat.

So a tiger and a lion are wild animals and are actually very dangerous animals and they would not be suitable as a pet, but a cat would be.

Maybe you have a cat as a pet at home.

So let's move on to the next question.

So who do you agree with? So we've got Jacob and Izzy here.

Jacob says, "Wild animals need people to provide homes for them." And Izzy here has said, "Wild animals find their own food, water, and shelter." Who do you agree with? Pause the video here.

Read again what Jacob and Izzy have said.

Who do you agree with? Have a think.

Fantastic work, everyone.

Izzy is correct.

So Izzy says, "Wild animals find their own food, water, and shelter." They do not rely on humans to give them their food.

So we are going to move on to the next task for today's lesson.

So we're still focusing on grouping animals.

So the first part is we're actually going to name these familiar animals.

So we've got eight different pictures here of eight different animals.

Then I would like you to have a think about which animals could be kept as a pet and why.

So there's two parts to this task.

First, you're going to name the animals.

Then either have a discussion with your talk partner or maybe you can write your ideas down on a whiteboard about which of these animals could be kept as a pet and why.

Maybe some of you have one of these animals as a pet already.

Have a go at the task, and click play on the lesson when you're ready to continue.

Off you go.

Fantastic work, everyone.

Well done.

You did such a great job of naming the animals.

So we've got a rabbit, some of you may have a rabbit as a pet.

We've got a hamster.

We've got a lizard.

We've got a squirrel, a dog, a horse, a bird, and a bear.

Now some of you may have seen all of these animals before and you may have seen a lizard, a bird, and a bear maybe in a zoo.

You may have seen a squirrel up your local, maybe you have a tree outside your house and you've seen a squirrel run up it.

Well done for naming these animals, everyone.

So we're going to think about which animals could be kept as a pet and why.

So Lucas here has said, "I think a hamster would be a good pet.

It is small and it can be kept in a cage with its own wheel to run in and fed special hamster food." And Sofia here has said, "I think that a bear would not be a good pet because it is a wild animal.

It needs lots of space to live in and it is very strong, so it might hurt me." So Lucas and Sofia here have both spoken about an animal.

Lucas has spoken about a hamster, which he think would be a good pet.

And Sofia has spoken about the bear, and she thinks the bear would not be a good pet.

Maybe you had a similar idea to Lucas and Sofia.

So the next part of this activity is going to be to be sorting the animals into two groups.

So the two groups we have are pets and not pets.

So I want you to think back to the eight animals that we've just named and think about which group they go into.

Do they go into pets or do they go into not pets? So you may want to draw this diagram on a sheet of paper or you may want to talk about it in your small group or with your talk partner.

Once you've completed the activity, I want you to have a think about, are there any animals that might belong in both groups? Have a think.

Good luck with the task and we'll go through some of the answers very shortly.

Off you go.

Amazing work, everyone.

Well done.

So this is an example answer.

So in the pets section, we've got the rabbit, we've got the hamster, we've got the dog, we've got the lizard, the horse, and the bird here.

So these are all examples of pets that you could have.

And in the not pets group, we've put the squirrel and the bear.

So we don't think the squirrel and the bear would be suitable to have as a pet in your home.

Did you get any of these as your answers? Well done.

I'm so impressed with how you have named but also sorted the animals into these groups.

You've done such a fantastic job.

So the next part of this task was thinking about if there are any animals that might belong to both groups, so pets and non-pets.

Sam here says, "Some rabbits live in the wild, but many people keep rabbits as pets.

I think horses can be pets too." Do you think the same as Sam? Jun has said, "Birds are not usually pets, but some birds such as budgies and parrots are popular pets." And Laura here has said, "Some lizards are kept as pets and some live in the wild." So Sam, Laura, and Jun have all thought about one animal that could be kept as a pet but actually could live in the wild too.

Did you get the same answers as them or did you get something a little bit different? Well done everyone for having a go.

So we've now come to the last part of our lesson.

So we're going to do a summary of all of our learning.

So we know that animals are living things that move around and eat plants or other animals.

We know that different animals have different names and we know that some animals are kept at home as pets, for example, cats and dogs and hamsters.

And some animals also live in the wild.

And we can also sort animals into pets and non-pets.

So I am so impressed with all of the work that you have done in today's lesson.

We've done lots of naming and also grouping, and you've learned about some new animals as well.

So maybe next time you see a squirrel, you'll think about why it cannot be a very good pet to have in your home.

Now well done for all of your work and I look forward to seeing you in the next lesson.

Have a great rest of the day.

See you soon and bye-bye.
