Have a look at the Curious Creature presentation (where it says ‘discuss with a partner’, just have a think on your own or talk to an adult about it).

Then have a go at matching the animal picture with its classification description.

Once you have done that-it’s time to get creative. Create your own creature-start by thinking about its classification and think what features it will need to have. Complete the Curious Creature sheet. the more creative you can be, the better. Have fun!
