Year 1 Habitat Dioramas

Date: 14th Mar 2024 @ 11:26am

Today we continued to explore the key question ‘what is the best habitat for an animal?’ We recapped on the key habitats we have learnt about this half term and the four things each habitat provides for an animal; food, water, shelter and space. We looked at a number of different habitats and discussed which animals belonged there and which animals had been placed in the wrong habitat and why. We then worked independently to create our own habitat diorama for a chosen animal. We used drawing to create our chosen habitat, orally explaining why our animal lives in this habitat and what it provides for them. 

‘I created an ocean habitat for the clownfish – ocean habitats are very wet and very big! The ocean habitat is the biggest habitat’

‘Camels live in the dry desert habitat. They store fat in their humps so they can survive without lots of food. They have flat feet so they don’t sink in the sand.’
