         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Year 5 &amp; 6</strong></p><p>Year 5 and 6 began a new science unit on <em>Living Things and Their Habitats</em>.</p><p>Pupils investigated biological classification and examined how animals are organised based on shared physical characteristics. The lesson focused on vertebrates, identifying them as animals with an internal skeleton and a backbone. Using a selection of images, we&nbsp; introduced the five major vertebrate groups: mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish. The children then considered distinguishing features such as body covering, method of reproduction, and thermoregulation&nbsp; to classify the different animals. </p><p>It was a great start to the new term!</p><p><br><strong><em>PE days for Year 5 &amp; Year 6 are Thursdays and Fridays</em></strong></p>]]></description>
