We have been studying on what is classification and why we classify things. It is to make it easier for us to study and understand the diversity around us.
We classify things based on their common characteristics. We tried to classify the things we can find in the classroom based on their common characteristics such as texture, shape, size and colour.
We also learnt how to draw tables and diagrams and how they can be used to show how things can be classified.
After that, we watched a video and learnt about the characteristics of living and non-living things.
