We have been looking at different animals this week and talking about their names, what they look like, where they live and if we could have them as a pet or not. We enjoyed talking about the animals that we have at home and animals that we have seen on trips. We explored different textures and patterns and matched them to familiar animals. What animal could this be? What does their fur/skin look like? How does it feel? Could you have that animal as a pet or not and why?
