Worksheet Overview

The world is made up of living things.

Any animal or plant is a living thing and they live in different places!


In this activity, we will practise spotting some animals and plants. We will learn their names and start to recognise where they live, or can be found.


Let's look closer.

 

forest woodland

 

This is a woodland habitat. We might find rabbits, birds like robins or sparrows and sometimes foxes living here.

We might find plants like oak trees, brambles or grass growing here too.


Inside this habitat will also be some microhabitats.

This means smaller homes for other creatures.

In the woodland, there can be leaf litter on the ground, where worms and snails might live.

There can also be dead logs that woodlice and millipedes live underneath!

There are lots more habitats, with different living plants and creatures in them, such as:

 seashore

There are millions of creatures and plants living everywhere, so let's take a closer look!
