Who Am I?

I am learning to use the facts I have collected about a mini beast to create a ‘Who Am I?’

I know I can do it when I have come up with and recorded ‘Who Am I?’ questions about my mini beast.

This term we have been learning a lot about mini beasts. Using some of the knowledge that you have gained, you are going to play a game today.

Watch the video below, it has a lot of “What/Who Am I?” questions about mini beasts. Use your knowledge to see if you can guess which mini beasts they are!

Independent Task

Using the facts that you collected yesterday about your chosen mini beast, make your own ‘Who Am I?’ quiz.

Include at least 3-5 clues based around the facts you discovered.

Use the example below to guide you.

You may like to bring your ‘Who Am I?’ questions to school on Thursday to share with your class.

Will we be able to guess the mini beast from your clues?

Finding Facts

I am learning to identify facts in the texts that I read, watch and listen to.

I know I can do it when I can confidently identify a fact from the things I see and hear.

Yesterday we learnt about the difference between a FACT and an OPINION. Today we will be viewing an informative text and identifying some FACTS.

Independent Task

This video is an example of an informative text. It tells us FACTS about animals.

After watching the video above, record your 5 favourite FACTS in your lined book.

Make sure they are FACTS and not OPINIONS.

Once you have written your 5 FACTS about animals, write 5 OPINIONS about the same animals.

For example:

Cats are mammals because they have fur. – FACT.

Cats are so cute and fluffy! – OPINION
