This download helps meet the following National Curriculum targets:

Year 2: Animals, including humans
Statutory requirements:
Notice that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults
Find out about and describe the basic needs of animals for survival.
Notes and guidance (non-statutory):
Pupils should be introduced to the basic needs of animals for survival, as well as the importance of exercise and nutrition for humans. They should also be introduced to the processes of reproduction and growth in animals. The focus at this stage should be on questions that help pupils to recognise growth; they should not be expected to understand how reproduction occurs. Example: egg, caterpillar, pupa and butterfly.

Year 2: Living things and their habitats
Statutory requirements:
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.
