This week we are going to go back
over animals and their habitats from
our nurture nature topic
We would like you to list any animals, birds or
insects which live in or visit your garden. If you
don’t have a garden think about our school
grounds or local parks.
Think about why they have chosen to live there-
dark, damp, warm, cold, sheltered, high, dry etc
Can you make a poster titled ‘Habitats’ and draw and
write about some animals, birds or insect habitats you
have researched. It could be as simple as…..
A snail lives under rocks or leaves and they like damp or
wet places.
