Animal Safari

This project teaches children about the animals that live around the world, how to look after animals and the importance of caring for our local and global environments. In the Animal Safari project, the children will learn about incredible animals that live worldwide. They will explore various animal habitats and compare the animals that live there with animals in their locality. They will learn how to care for pets and what all animals need to grow, survive and stay happy and healthy. They will explore animal features and find out how they survive in the wild. They will compare the ways that animals are similar and different.

Memorable experience - Meet the animals

Innovate challenge - Greedy Zebra (design a new animal and its habitat)

The children will also enjoy reading the text, Arghh Spider by Lydia Monks.
