How to Draw: Woodland Animals: in simple steps

Product Information

Foxes. Foxes are Britain’s only wild member of the dog family. You’re most likely to spot them at nighttime. Chantelle: Okay Cece, it's time to add them to the tally chart. So, you've just found yourself five ants. So, we're going to put four little lines it's one, two, three, four, and then for number five, we're going to add it on sideways to turn it into a gate. Activities such as our Minibeast Hunt or Forest Animals Research Map are great ways to practise general data skills whilst learning about different creatures. Our Autumn Vocabulary Poster is a brilliant visual aid to use when you're teaching your pupils autumn words. It features 24 words all together, and each one has its own hand-drawn illustration to match.

Chantelle: Wow. What a list. And I bet you can't wait to find all the creatures that live here, but for now I have a mission. Tawny owls. You might recognise their famous song ‘too-wit too-woo’ that can be heard at nighttime.

To complete this pencil control activity, children can trace over the dotted lines to complete pictures of a variety of woodland animals. Chantelle: Kids. We've found so many different types of living things. We need to use a tally chart to record our findings.

Now, the reason that we use a tally chart is to record how many of each type of animals we see. So, for every animal we see, we draw a line in the box just like this. And when I saw the butterfly, I would draw one right there. Now we're ready to continue our mission.Autumn is a great time of year with loads of seasonal changes and interesting weather. When we're not teaching our children about autumn, their little minds are occupied with the changes in scenery. So, this is a great time to use some themed activities for subjects like maths. This Autumn Addition Activity is perfect for helping children with number recognition and adding numbers together.

Chantelle: Wow. Children what an epic animal hunt. Now it's time to count up our findings. So Ethan, every time we've put a gate, how many is that?

Cece: That's five. Then that's five. So, five add five equals ten, then ten add one equals eleven. So, we've got eleven.
