Habitats

This term we will learn all about habitats and what a habitat needs to provide. We will explore local habitats to identify and name living things and begin to understand how they depend on one another for food and shelter.

This term we will be learning to: 

• explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead, and things that have never been alive
• identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how different habitats provide for the basic needs of different kinds of animals and plants, and how they depend on each other
• identify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats, including microhabitats
• describe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the idea of a simple food chain, and identify and name different sources of food
