Year 1 animals including humans complete unit Zack the zookeeper

Thankyou for looking at my resource. Each lesson includes a powerpoint and accompanying resources. The lessons can be picked up and taught from however provide the freedom to edit based on individual needs. Lesson 1 Children will be working to help Zack the Zookeeper. Children will start the lesson by recapping on their prior learning via a game of which is an animal out of two choices. Children will then be taught a definition of animal. This will be applied to a number of tasks to ensure the meaning is embedded. Children will be introduced to Zack the Zookeeper. All lessons are based on learning generated from problem solving. Children will learn that Zack has done a number of things wrong but the issue is the task doesn’t name the animals e.g giving dog food to the animals. Children will be shown a number of animals grouped into the 5 main animal groups. This will support learning in the next lesson where children will be defining the five main animal groups. Lesson 2 In this lesson children will recap on their prior knowledge by playing spot the difference. This will encourage children to recall animal names and groups. Children will then be reminded of the five different animal groups. Children will be working with Zack the zookeeper who will think that all amphibians are the same. Using whole class investigation children will identify what is the same and what is different. Children will build up to independently comparing similarities and differences between animal groups and at the end of the lesson will be provided with definitions of the main groups. Lesson 3 In this lesson children will recap on their prior knowledge by recapping on the definition of animal and matching the animal group to the description. Children will reflect on what animals need to survive which will lead into being informed that Zack the zookeeper thinks that all animals eat the same thing. Children will discuss whether they agree or disagree with this. Children will be shown a number of animals diets and will reflect whether it is possible to remember all of the individual diets of the over 1.2 million animals that exist. Children will be introduced to carnivore, herbivore and omnivore as well a small task to ensure that children understand what is meant by meat and plant type foods. Further to this a discussion will be had about humans and those that follow a vegan/vegetarian/other diet. Children will build up to independently identifying whether an animal is carnivore,herbivore or omnivore based on their diet. Lesson 4 Children will start the lesson recapping on their prior learning in the unit through a variety of parter and whole class quick tasks. Children will be given a number of choices through a discussion of would you rather? Children will look at how the choices relate to the senses. They will be provided with a clear definition of senses and consolidate this by identifying which sense was most important in their choices. Children will look at Zack the Zookeeper and a map of the zoo and identify how Zack experiences the zoo through his senses. Lesson 5 The lesson will start with children recapping on prior learning. Children will label parts of Zack the Zookeepers body with their partner. This will lead onto a discussion about what parts of the body are there for. Children will reflect on Zack’s view that he only needs his arms and hands for the zoo. As a class children will discuss different body parts and what their uses are. Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge. Children will have stem sentences to support oracy and enable children to focus on the science rather than forming a sentence.
