Guest Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Our new topic for after half term is to be astounding animals. Does anyone have any fab ideas or suggestions of book titles. Thank you in advance of any replies.
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Start with any animals they have at home and build on it. I think most animals have astounding abilities, especially if they're compared to us. A dogs sense of smell, a cats ability to jump, a hamsters ability to store its food in its cheeks, a rabbit can dig tunnels. If you want more exotic creatures, rats and ferrets are used to lay cables in underground pipes, chameleons can change colour, salmon can jump up waterfalls, eagles can see for miles, owls have astonishing night sight. The animals on te most recent David Attenborough programme were amazing, ants that could withstand the heat of the day no other creature could tolerate, elephants memories of where to find water, butterflies who travel 3000 miles to what they perceive as 'home'. It depends where you want to start and end up.
