- Go on a nature walk to observe and identify different plants and animals using a simple classification key.
- Create a chart with groups like mammals, reptiles, flowering and non-flowering plants, and help your child categorise local species.
- Discuss examples of environmental changes (e.g., pollution) and their effects on local wildlife.
