Worked brilliantly with my year 6 class as they worked in mixed ability groups.
Presentation showing children different climates and where they occur on the world map (discussing distance from equator).
Activity where children label animals and plants with how they have adapted (eg. Polar Bear: thick fur and fat to keep warm, white fur to camouflage).
End of presentation gives children prompts to respond to in books to ensure deeper understanding.
All photos are not mine, and from google images.
Worksheet where children label the lungs and surrounding features on the body. They then fill in the blanks to describe breathing. Key words provided on sheet.
Worksheet ideal for KS1 work on seasons and tree types. Children can colour/draw the leaves on deciduous trees through the seasons, and then draw/colour the leaves on an evergreen tree. They then have the opportunity to explain how evergreen trees are different to deciduous trees.
Two differentiated worksheets on classifying omnivores, herbivores and carnivores.
Also included class activity - pictures to be laminated/printed and stuck up around forest school area/playground/classroom. Children must go and read what the different animals eat and record whether they are omnivore, herbivore or carnivore on their table worksheet. Worked well with mixed ability pairs!
