Curriculum Alignment +
Aligned to the Year 1 Science National Curriculum. Covers animals including humans — identifying and naming a variety of common animals including mammals, describing and comparing the structure of a variety of common animals, and identifying and classifying animals by what they eat (carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores). Builds understanding that humans are mammals too, supporting children's sense of themselves within the animal kingdom. Cross-curricular links to Art & Design (Mammal Fur Patterns — exploring pattern, texture, and colour) and scientific drawing and recording through the Nature Journal.
Teaching Tips +
Mammal Fur Patterns is the standout art activity — use wax resist, sponging, or printing techniques to recreate the patterns of zebras, leopards, giraffes, and tigers. A great discussion starter is asking children whether they are mammals — the "humans are mammals too" reveal is always a memorable moment. Mammal Diets works well as a sorting activity using picture cards before children record in their Nature Journals. The Mammals Poster works best displayed as a classroom reference throughout the unit and can be used as a prompt during Nature Journal sessions. This pack pairs naturally with the Year 1 Birds, Fish, Amphibians, and Reptiles packs for a full animals topic unit.
