IPC – The Nature of Life
Hello Sycamore, Magnolia and Laurel classes,
You have now completed:
Entry Point Knowledge harvest Nature Diary Nature Walk
Many of you will have also completed the worksheets that you were given in your home learning packs. These were:
Sorting things into ‘Living’, ‘non-living’ and ‘never lived’ Food chains Plant life cycle Parts of a flower Seed dispersal Animal lifecycle (humans) Nutrients Skeleton Muscles
To do this, you were asked to safely search using the internet, using books, or by asking an adult or older sibling for help.
If you haven’t finished them yet, try to finish them as soon as you can. If you have, fantastic!
Here are activities for you to continue with over the next 3 weeks. Make sure to get in touch if you need any help!
Work for the week beginning 4 th May.

Activity 1
Use a dictionary or the internet to find the meaning of these words and write them down:

Then watch these clips about how different animals are adapted to their environment.

Activity 2
Choose an animal and think about their habitat and how they are adapted to their environment.
Can you draw a design of their habitat and what you would include in it? Try to label your diagram to explain why you have included particular things.
Finally using junk materials from around your home (shoe boxes, cereal boxes, toilet rolls, cotton wool, yoghurt cartons, play dough) try to make a model of the habitat. See the pictures above for ideas! Be as creative as you can!
We teachers would love to see any work you’ve done so it would be great to take a picture of anything you enjoyed or are proud of and send it to [email protected] with your name and class.

Then complete the attached activities:
Activity 3A- Sort the animals correctly using the Carroll diagram
Activity 3B - Classify animals in the pictures using the tables.
Activity 3C – Classify the animals using the key
If you don’t have printouts just draw or write the names of the animals.
Challenge: If you’re feeling really confident have a go at creating your own key to classify animals!
Activity 3A- LO: I can use a Carroll diagram to sort animals
IPC – The Nature of Life
Cut and paste the animals into the right place on the Carroll diagram:
