About this worksheet
A wildlife ranger's jumbled notes set up this three-page Year 4 sort of British vertebrates. Pupils place twelve animals under Mammals, Reptiles and Amphibians. The list includes some tricky ones, such as the pipistrelle bat, the slow worm and the smooth newt. Five go under mammals, four under reptiles and three under amphibians. Two questions follow: pupils explain their hardest choice, then add one new British animal to each group. The answer key gives the sort and a note on why each tricky animal belongs where it does. It follows the England National Curriculum for living things and their habitats.
