Hi everybody.
My name's Mrs. Hart, and I'm going to be your teacher today.
I'm really excited that we're going to be learning together and I can't wait to complete this lesson with you.
Our lesson today is from the naming and grouping animals unit, and it's naming birds and reptiles.
And by the end of the lesson today, we'll be able to name and group common animals that are birds and reptiles.
Some of the learning might be new today, but we'll work hard together and I'm sure we're gonna have a great time.
These are the key words that we're going to be using in our lesson today.
I'm going to say them first.
It'll be my turn, and then I'd like you to say them back to me.
Your turn.
So our first key word today is, my turn, animal.
Your turn.
My turn, bird.
Your turn.
My turn, egg.
Your turn.
My turn, reptile.
Your turn.
My turn, scales.
Your turn.
Well done.
You might have met some of these words before or perhaps they're new words to you.
But don't worry, we'll talk about them as we go through today's lesson.
Our lesson today is in three parts.
We're going to start now with the first part of our lesson, which is all about birds.
There are lots of different types of animals.
some are big, some are small, some live underwater, some live on land.
And here we can see some fish in a coral reef, and we can see some elephants on land.
Perhaps you've seen some animals today on your way to school.
They're all around us.
Some animals have a backbone, wings, and feathers.
Do you know what type of animal they are? They're birds.
Well done if you said that.
Can you name these common birds? We can see three birds here.
The first bird is eating a juicy-looking worm.
The second is a bird in a tree, and the last one is a bird with its chick.
I wonder if you know any of their names.
Well, the bird that's eating that rather yummy-looking worm is a robin.
You might see these in your gardens or on the school field.
And the second bird in the tree is a black bird.
Again, you might see these near to where you live.
The third bird is a penguin.
You might see these in a zoo or perhaps on television as they don't normally live near to us.
Our first check for understanding.
Birds have fur, wings, feathers or hair.
Pause the video now and have a chat with a partner.
Which of these do birds have? Well, what did you decide? Well done if you said that birds have wings and feathers.
Great work, everybody, Although they have wings, not all birds can fly.
Penguins can't fly, but are excellent swimmers.
And ostriches can't fly, but they can run really fast.
Some birds have very plain feathers and some have brightly-colored feathers.
And here we can see a sparrow and a peacock.
Peacocks can use their feathers to scare away other animals that might try to hurt them.
If you look at the peacock, you can see some of its feathers look like they have eyes on them, and that's to scare away other animals.
All birds lay eggs, and lots of birds make a nest to keep their eggs safe.
Here we can see some eggs in a nest.
And once those have hatched, there'll be some chicks in that nest.
This last bird is a cuckoo.
Cuckoos don't build their own nests.
They lay their eggs in nests built by other birds, and they leave these birds to look after their young.
And here's a check for understanding.
This is a true or false check.
Birds lay eggs.
Do you think that's true or false? You might like to pause the video.
What did you think? Do birds lay eggs? Yes, it's true, but how do we know that? Is it I think this because birds do not give birth to live young, or is it I think it's because birds have wings? Again, pause the video here.
So what did you decide? I think this because birds do not give birth to live young.
That's right.
They lay eggs.
Well done if that's what you said.
And now we're onto our first task.
Here are photographs of two birds.
Add labels to each photograph to show how you know they are birds.
Think about the things that we've learned so far in this lesson, and what do we know about birds already.
Have a look at each photograph and then add labels.
How do we know that they are birds? Here are two that we've completed and I'm hoping that you notice the chicken has wings.
It has a backbone.
It has a beak.
You can see its body is covered in feathers and it's laid some eggs.
Perhaps those are things that you spotted.
Perhaps you noticed something else.
The second bird is an osprey and we can see it's got wings, feathers, and a backbone.
And we can also see that this osprey has made a rather beautiful-looking nest.
So well done if you spotted those things.
Perhaps you spotted some other things as well that will tell you they were birds.
Great work, everybody.
Now we're onto the second part of our lesson.
This section is called all about reptiles.
It's not just birds that lay eggs.
Some other animals such as crocodiles and turtles also lay eggs.
And here we can see a photograph of a crocodile with some rather sharp-looking teeth and a turtle swimming in the ocean.
They are from a different group of animals called reptiles.
What do you know about reptiles? You might like to pause the video now and have a chat with the person next to you.
Perhaps you have a reptile for a pet at home or perhaps you've seen some at the zoo, but what do you already know about reptiles? So what did you already know about reptiles? I wonder if it's going to be some of the same things we're going to find out about next.
Perhaps it'll be something different.
Let's find out, shall we? Here's a check for understanding first.
Aisha and Sofia are talking about animals that lay eggs.
Aisha says, "Only birds lay eggs.
They often look after their eggs in a nest." Sofia says, "Birds aren't the only kind of animal that lays eggs.
Some reptiles such as crocodiles also lay eggs." Who do you agree with? Pause the video and have a chat with your partner.
So what did you decide? Who do you agree with? Well, it's Sofia.
Birds lay eggs, but they're not the only kind of animal that lay eggs.
Some reptiles do as well, such as crocodiles.
So well done if you agreed with Sofia.
Reptiles are cold-blooded.
This means that they need help to keep warm and also to stay cool.
What we can see here there's a crocodile lying in the sun and an alligator in water.
Some reptiles like this crocodile need to light out in the sun to warm up.
And some reptiles, like the alligator, live near water to cool down if they get too warm.
Reptiles do not have fur or feathers.
Most reptiles have scales that cover their bodies.
And here we have three pictures of different kinds of reptile scales.
First of all, you can see the lizard scales, then we have some crocodile scales, and lastly, we have some snake scales.
You might like to pause the video and have a good look at these.
You might like to talk about them and describe them to a partner.
Pause the video now if you would like to.
Some reptiles, such as tortoises and turtles, have a shell made up of hard parts to protect their soft bodies.
And here we can see the tortoise with his shell.
That's a tortoise shell close up so we can see the patterns, and it's protecting the body of the tortoise.
And finally, here we have a turtle swimming in the ocean.
And again, you can see it's hard shell protecting its soft body.
Here's our next check for understanding what are most reptiles covered in? Is it A, fur, B, feathers, or C, scales? Pause the video now and have a chat with your partner, and then come back, and we'll find out what are most reptiles covered in.
Did you have the chance to have a chat? What did you decide? That's right.
Most reptiles are covered in scales.
Great work if that's what you said.
And here is our second task.
It says look closely at this bird and this reptile.
What do they have in common? So those are things that are the same or similar about them.
And what makes them different to each other? And there we can see a duck, which is a bird, and a crocodile, which is a reptile.
So this is a talking task.
So you're going to need to pause the video.
You're going to have to have a think about the things they have in common, things that are similar or the same, and also things that are different.
So pause the video now and go and have a chat with your partner.
So what did you decide? What is the same and what is different about this bird and this reptile? Well, Jacob has noticed that both the duck and the crocodile can swim and lay eggs.
So those are things they have in common that are the same, but Jacob has also noticed that there was some differences between the duck and the crocodile.
He says they're different because the crocodile has scales and the duck has feathers.
Did you notice these things? Perhaps you notice something different.
Well done, everybody.
That was great work.
The last part of our lesson is called naming and sorting birds and reptiles.
Different birds and reptiles have different names, and here we can see a photograph of a reptile and a photograph of a bird.
And I wonder if you know the name of this bird or this reptile.
What about the reptile? Yes, it's a chameleon.
Well done.
Perhaps you've spotted this bird somewhere before, at a zoo maybe.
Do you know its name? That's right.
It's a parrot.
Well done if that's what you said.
And here's our check for understanding.
We need to finish this sentence.
Different birds and reptiles have the same name, different birds and reptiles have different names, or different birds and reptiles do not have a name.
Which one do you think is right? Pause the video and have a chat with your partner.
So what did you decide then? Did you say different birds and reptiles have different names? I hope you did.
Well done if that's what you said.
We can sort animals into groups by looking for clues that tell us if they're a bird or a reptile.
And here we can see a photograph of some birds and a reptile.
You might recognise this reptile.
What clues would you look for? Let's look at the birds first of all.
Can you spot any clues that tells us they're birds? Well, yes, they've laid some eggs, but we know that some reptiles lay eggs.
Is there anything else that could help us? They have got wings and feathers.
That's a great clue that they're a bird.
Well done if that's what you said.
And they're definitely in a nest.
So those are great clues.
Well done.
Let's look at the reptile.
Do you know what this reptile is? Yeah, it's a snake.
Any clues that it's a reptile? Well, I can see it's got scales on its body.
Perhaps you notice that too.
That's a really big clue that it's a reptile.
Perhaps you thought of something different or well done if you said one of those things.
And here's Sam, going to help us to do some naming and sorting.
When we're sorting reptiles and birds, we are using classification skills.
We can ask these questions, and Sam's got the questions for us.
Sam says, we can ask.
Does it have feathers? Does it have wings? Does it have scales? Is it warm-blooded? Is it cold-blooded? And does it have a beak? And when we ask these questions, it will help us to decide whether it's a reptile or a bird.
Thanks for the help, Sam.
Toy reptiles and birds can be sorted into different toy boxes.
We've got a box for birds here and we've got a box for some reptiles.
What would you put into the bird's box? We could put a robin, or a parrot, or a sparrow.
Great thinking.
What could go into the reptiles box? Definitely a crocodile, a snake perhaps, or an alligator.
Here we go.
So, so far we've sorted a toy parrot and a toy duck into the birds.
And into the reptiles, we've got a toy crocodile, a toy lizard, and a toy tortoise.
Well done if you said those things.
Here's a check for understanding.
So the Oak children are talking about sorting birds and reptiles, and they've got some different ideas.
Lucas says, "We can put reptiles and birds into groups using classification skills." Andeep says, "We can put reptiles and birds into groups using counting skills." And Jacob says, "We cannot put reptiles and birds into groups because they are the same." Who do you agree with? Pause the video and have a chat with your partner.
So what did you decide? Who do you agree with? Well, well done if you said Lucas.
We can put reptiles and birds into group using classification skills.
Great work, everybody.
And now we have our next task.
Your first task is to name these birds and reptiles.
You'll have seen some of these in our lesson today.
I wonder if you can remember their names.
Pause the video now and see if you can name these birds and reptiles.
How did you get on? That first bird, we did see earlier, and that was a peacock.
I wonder if you recognise the snake with his scales.
And then the next animal you can see with his sharp teeth and scales.
That's a crocodile.
Did you know that this bird was a barn owl? Now we saw the next bird in our lesson earlier eating that juicy worm.
It was a robin.
The next bird were excellent swimmers and they were penguins.
And this next animal is a reptile.
It's a lizard.
And our last reptile was the tortoise with his hard shell protecting his soft body.
And well done if you got those right.
Great work.
And here's our second task for this part of the lesson.
Izzy's sister is working at the zoo.
She asked Izzy to help her to make some new signs to show where different animals can be found.
And there's Izzy's sister saying to Izzy, "Can you help me add the animals to the correct sign?" And these are the animals that Izzy and her sister need to sort.
They've got a snake, a blue tit, a turtle, a gecko, a pigeon, an ostrich, a crocodile, and a cuckoo.
So all the birds need to go onto the bird sign and all of the reptiles need to go onto the reptile sign.
I wonder if you could use those sorting questions that Sam told us about earlier to help you to sort these correctly.
Pause the video now and see if you can sort these into birds and reptiles.
Good luck.
Well, how did you get on? Here's what Izzy and her sister have done.
They've put all the birds onto the bird sign.
So you should have a blue tit, a pigeon, an ostrich, and a cuckoo.
Well done if that's what you said.
And the reptiles, you should have a snake, a turtle, a gecko, and a crocodile.
Great work, everybody.
And these are all the things that we've learned today in our lesson about naming birds and reptiles.
We've learned that birds are animals that have a backbone, wings, and feathers.
We have learned that reptiles are animals that have a backbone, are cold-blooded, and have a body that is covered in scales or hard parts.
We found out that both birds and reptiles lay eggs, and we've also learned that different birds and reptiles have different names.
We can sort them using classification skills.
I really enjoyed learning with you today and I hope you enjoyed our lesson too.
And I hope see you soon.
Bye.
