Walker Primary School Inspiring a love of learning in a supportive community

Animals Including Humans

In this unit children will learn about human and animal bodies and consider similarities and differences between them. Children will engage in a variety of activities including drawing and labelling the body, using their senses to conduct an investigation, describing animal bodies and sorting animals into groups.
