Unit Overview
Unit Overview
In this unit, children explore how wildlife is beneficial for humans. In previous blocks, they explored different animals and plants and their needs for survival. In this unit, they should apply this knowledge in a real-life context. Children are introduced to the word “wildlife”. They can define this term as plants and animals that are not looked after by humans. Within this step, children learn that humans, other animals and plants can all depend on each other for survival. Children will explore the ways in which they can support wildlife within the school environment. This helps develop their understanding of life cycles, growth and responsibility for the planet.
