This resource contains 2 downloads:

* Bats adaptations worksheet - This document contains questions about bats for the children to research using IPads/ information books, to help them to work out how bats might be adapted to their habitats. The resource contains 3 versions of the same sheet, each laid out slightly differently to match the children's writing ability.

* Fox Factfile - As above, but questions are regarding foxes, also a nocturnal animal.

* Feely Bag Activity - This is a worksheet for children to record their answers to a 'feely bag activity'. I put 5 objects in pillow cases and numbered them - the children guessed and described the objects. The bottom part of the worksheet is where the children recorded their answers to an 'animal sound activity' - I played 5 YouTube sounds of animal calls. For both these activities, the pupils were relying on senses other than their sight, like a nocturnal animal!
