Habitats
This week I would like you to find out about habitats!
What is a habitat?
A habitat is a home environment for plants and animals or other organisms. Examples of habitats include:
- desert
- meadow
- woodland
- grassland
- forest
- seashore
- ocean
A micro-habitat is a very specific, small home environment for plants, animals and insects. Examples include:
- ponds
- individual trees
- under a stone
- a pile of logs.

Here are some examples to give you ideas:
You can email me photos of what you have done so I can share them on the blog.
