UNIT

In this set of lessons we learn about woodlands. In this lesson with Miss Hughes, we identify animals that live in a woodland and understand why it is a good habitat for these animals. We think about the smaller creatures that live in a woodland and end the lesson by going on a minibeast hunt. If you don't have a woodland nearby, you can complete the task by choosing a minibeast to research and create a fact file about this creature.

To identify animals that live in a woodland

In today's lesson, we will use available resources in order to construct a minibeast. The key areas that this lesson links to are expressive arts and design and understanding the world.

Construct a minibeast

In this lesson, we join Miss Sidenius in looking at different minibeasts and the kinds of habitats that they like. To finish the lesson, we use our knowledge to build a bug hotel. To extend this lesson, you could think about what you could do to improve your bug hotel. Is it waterproof? Does it use lots of different materials that lots of different minibeasts like?
