Is it a bird, is it a reptile, is it a mammal?

Learning about biological classification helps us identify and group organisms based on their common characteristics.

Alex from the Nature Education Centre visited the 6/7 classes with a variety of different animals from different classes of taxonomy – insects, amphibians, reptiles and marsupials.  We started to make connections and build on the knowledge that we had been learning about in science. 

We are now using this experience to create and classify our own organism in our MYP summative assessment.
