Wirral: Habitats - The Adventures of Terra

Wirral only

Join Terra, a curious butterfly who decides to explore different habitats to better understand how other animals live and how each adapts to its environment. Join us on this adventure to raise eco-awareness, ending with a positive message of empowerment to protect our environment.

Learning objectives:

• Understand the importance of habitats as they provide food, water and shelter for living things. They will also understand the importance of preserving these habitats to maintain biodiversity.
• Identify adaptations of animals that allow different species to survive in their unique habitats.
• Promote environmental awareness through the story of the polluting monster, students will learn about the consequences of irresponsible use of resources and the importance of adopting sustainable behaviours to protect the environment.
• Promote collaborative conservation work, as Terra and her friends did, to develop and implement action plans that protect habitats and encourage responsible environmental practices in their own communities.
