The teaching resource can be used as a printed handout for instruction in class time, or for display on the interactive whiteboard. Pupils should use the local environment throughout the year to raise and answer questions that help them to identify and study plants and animals in their habitat. They should identify how the habitat changes throughout the year. I can identify and classify examples of living things, past and present, to help me appreciate their diversity. I can relate physical and behavioural characteristics to their survival or extinction. Pupils should be introduced to the terms ‘habitat’ (a natural environment or home of a variety of plants and animals) and ‘micro-habitat’ (a very small habitat, for example for woodlice under stones, logs or leaf litter).I have experimented with a range of media and technologies to create images and objects, using my understanding of their properties. This primary resource gives children an opportunity to make a bug hotel for their garden — a great way to encourage pupils to get creative and explore the world around them. Each bottle must be cleaned carefully with their label removed and mouth cut off to ensure children can fill their bottles with the correct resources for mini-beast habitat. Children can plant a selection of seeds and watch as their plants and flowers begin to grow... a fantastic way to introduce children to the plant lifecycle.
