🌿 DESIGNED FOR AGES 5–10
Activities are written to work across a range of ages and abilities.
Younger children can be supported by a parent or carer, while
older learners are encouraged to write in full sentences and
tackle the challenge extensions independently.
This unit works beautifully alongside:
→ A nature walk or garden observation
→ A visit to a farm or wildflower meadow
→ A library book on bees or insects
→ A beekeeper talk or nature group

💛 A NOTE FROM ME
I'm Samantha, a home educating mum creating resources
I actually use at our own learning table. Every page in this
unit has been thoughtfully written to spark curiosity, encourage
narration, and make learning feel like a joy rather than a chore.
I hope your family loves it as much as we do. 🐝
