Explore the life cycles of woodland wildlife with these foldable sequencing activities. In this science resource, you’ll find life cycle foldouts for a hedgehog, barn owl, oak tree and stag beetle (mammal, bird, plant and insect). The differentiated templates allow pupils to sequence with 4 or 6 stages. There are also options to use simple words or descriptions of the stages. This makes the activity suitable for upper KS1, as well as KS2. What you need: Just print the templates you need on A4 paper. You’ll also need coloured pencils (different shades of brown as useful), as well as scissors and glue. The finished foldouts can be glued into a notebook, used for display, or taken home to show off to parents! The templates are not editable. UK and US versions included.

Get to know your pupils with these fun ‘all about me’ foldable activities. Each one is designed to be coloured, completed with words and pictures, cut, and folded. No glue required! Once folded, bring the 2 halves together to show the main images, and pull apart to reveal what’s inside! Each resource has UK and US versions. There are 4 sets in this bundle: Self-portrait foldables Children can pick the design that best matches their hairstyle. They then draw eyes, eyebrows, skin/hair colour, and lips, creating a self-portrait! The inside prompts them to add some information about themselves - name, age, favourite colours, something that makes them smile, and something they are good at. Space theme foldable activity In this set, each foldable displays a different letter so that students can complete one that matches the first letter of their name. The inner sections of the foldable have meaningful questions on an outer space theme as follows: -Captain… (children insert their name here) -Age -Things I love to the moon and back -I’m a star at… (for children to tell you what they are good at) -My mission is to get better at… (for children to let you know areas that they might need extra help and support). Dinosaur themed foldable activity There are 26 templates, each with a different scaly letter of the alphabet so students can use the template which displays the first letter of their name! Self-portrait (space to draw their features on the blank face). My dinosaur name (students add their first name in the space to create a dino name). Age. Things I think are RAWR-some (a space for favorite things). My 3 favorite colours (colour the bones). I’m EGG-cellent at (space to write about/draw their strengths).
