Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe the function of different parts of a squirrel, a set of cards to list some of the foods collected by squirrels in a woodland habitat and templates to make leaf shapes for a classroom display of a woodland habitat.

The interactive presentation gets the children to name, locate and describe different parts of a squirrel and suggest how they can use a woodland habitat to search for and collect foods.

This lesson is part of a curriculum topic scheme of work to get the children to investigate changes to different trees during the autumn and explore how this affects animals that live in a woodland habitat including owls and squirrels. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
