• Identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how habitats provide for the basic needs of different of animals and plants, and how they depend on each other.
• Design & Technology, Key Stage 1, Make
• Select from and use a range of tools and equipment to perform practical tasks (for example, cutting, shaping, joining and finishing).
• Design & Technology, Key Stage 2, Make
• Select from and use a wider range of tools and equipment to perform practical tasks (for example, cutting, shaping, joining and finishing), accurately.
• Easy to construct birdhouses with pre-cut wooden pieces for a hands-on learning experience.
• This pack includes pre-cut wood pieces, dowel, sandpaper, and instructions, designed to support practical skills.
• This resource offers a unique opportunity to engage with the science curriculum, specifically focusing on animal habitats. By assembling the birdhouses from pre-cut wooden pieces, children inherently learn about the needs of different animals and the importance of suitable habitats.
• Encompassing elements of the Design and Technology curriculum at both Key Stage 1 and 2, the kit enhances practical skills. Children are tasked with shaping and joining materials accurately, fostering a sense of achievement and encouraging creative thinking.
Complete with all necessary materials for creating 12 birdhouses, this kit serves as an excellent tool for outdoor learning. It encourages children to explore their natural surroundings, instilling an appreciation for wildlife and the concept of ecological stewardship through immersive, hands-on activity.
