Have children sit opposite a partner in a quiet area. (Whole class can do this in the reading area.) Ask them to discuss with each other what makes them the same or different. Discuss likes and dislikes as well as physical features and talents. Allow a minimum of five minutes for discussion between pairs - perhaps brief notes could be taken to remind children of what they found. Conduct a feedback session to the whole class. Use notes or discussion to complete the activity sheet.

1. Discuss how living things are categorised into classifications i.e. birds, mammals, reptiles etc. Is it possible to find similarities between animals of different classifications? Use a frog and a dog as examples to find similarities and differences e.g. both have four legs; both live on the ground; a dog has hair, a frog doesn’t etc. 2. Discuss possible similarities and differences between a cat and a bird. Assign activity sheet.

Develop this idea further by looking at and comparing two mammals e.g. a cat and a dolphin. Further research might lead to the children identifying the various animal groups and listing their main attributes for display in the class.

This activity follows on from the classroom based one discussed in ‘Living or not?’. 1. Children need to revise the indicators of ‘living’ or ‘non-living’ they decided on before attempting the observation exercise during the walk in the school grounds. 2. The most useful approach would be for children to have an observation sheet on which they could record examples of the two categories. Some of these could be transferred in graphic form to the worksheet on returning to the classroom.
