Extension
1. Make a selection of reference books or CD-ROMs available for the children to find out more about local wildlife.
2. Ask the children to create a simple 'What am I?' quiz, giving as many clues as possible about the plant or animal the child is thinking of (eg where it lives, what its offspring are called, drawings of a part of its body). Alternatively, ask the children to complete the Plants and animals worksheet (PDF 93KB).
3. Ask the higher ability group to create a branching diagram to sort animals and plants.
