Pupils needing extra support

Could use the Activity: Food chains (support) to group the living things according to whether they belong in a woodland or an ocean habitat; could use the grouped images to create two food chains on their desks, using a whiteboard pen to draw arrows between them to show what each animal is eaten by; could work in a group of three with an adult to cut the pictures from the Activity: Food chain (support) and perform a simple food chain drama.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should add the labels producer, prey and predator to their folding food chains; could create an additional folding food chain for a coastal habitat, which includes four living things (e.g. the algae is eaten by the shrimp is eaten by the crab is eaten by the seagull).
