Is it an animal?

An animal lives on the land or in the sea. An animal can be a herbivore, carnivore or an omnivore because some eat meat, some plants and some (like us) eat both. Animals live all over our planet. Some animals are reptiles and some are mammals. Some animals are becoming endangered. An animal is any living creature.

This is an example of Relational Thinking.

If we want to become Extended Abstract thinkers we need to be able to explain ourselves so we need to start with 'I think' and then form an opinion.

We think it is unfair that animals are becoming endangered because we want our children to be able to see all of the wonderful animals we see now still alive and out in the wild where they belong. We think that killing animals for trophies is very wrong and it is not fair that animals are being hurt so a hunter can put its head on a wall. We never got to see some animals that are already extinct and we don’t want that to happen to any more beautiful animals.
