Mammals

By Nikita-Mari Greyling

My name is Nikita-Mari and I am in Gr 3.

• I’ve learnt different things about mammals and I’d like to tell you about them.

• I’m also going to tell you whether we are mammals or not.

Firstly I’d like to tell you what mammals look like.

• Most mammals have 4 limbs or two flippers.

• Mammals have hair on their bodies.

• Mammals have large brains.

• Mammals nurse their young who are born alive.

Mammal babies are helpless at birth

and need care from their mothers.

You get many kinds of mammals.

Dogs, cats, tigers, dolphins, whales, sheep, zebra, cows, hamsters, pigs, monkeys and

many more.

But not all the mammals look and are the same.

Mammals can be divided into groups.

Dogs, cats, tigers, dolphins, whales, sheep, zebra, cows, hamsters, pigs and monkeys can be divided according to

where they live.

You get in the house, on the farm, in the wild and in the sea.

So there are four groups that mammals can be divided into.

House Mammals

Farm Mammals

Wild Mammals

Sea Mammals

Now I can divide the mammals into groups.

Dogs, cats, tigers, dolphins, whales, sheep, zebra, cows,

hamsters, pigs and monkeys.

House Mammals – Dogs, cats and hamsters

Farm Mammals – Sheep, cows and pigs

Wild Mammals – Tigers, zebra and monkeys

Sea Mammals - Dolphins and whales

Farm mammals House mammals

Sea mammals

Wild mammals

The four groups mammals can be divided into.

Now we know what groups mammals are divided into and

what mammals are;

Are we mammals?

YES WE ARE!!!

We have 4 limbs, hair on our bodies, big brains, and we care

for our helpless young.

Now that we know we are mammals I’ll be doing

syllabification next.

I’ll be doing syllabification with some of the mammals names.
