In Year One, the children have been looking at fish and their features such as scales, fins, tail, eyes, mouth and gills. The children went to Mr Davis' classroom to look at his fish tank before looking and touching a real fish in our classroom. The children described how the fish felt and came up with adjectives like smooth, slimy, cold, wet and bouncy.
