Years 3-6
From the tiniest insect to burrowing badger, we share our environment with a wide range of wildlife.
Encourage your young learners to explore the world around them, think about the impact humans have on wildlife and what we can do, as compassionate citizens, to protect them.
This activity introduces pupils to the concept of grouping/classification and making keys. It encourages pupils to make observations about a variety of organisms.
