Animal Confusion

Oh no! Farmer Lee has got a problem and needs your help. The pigs keep trying to fly and the chickens think they are goats! Can you help him to use the features of the animals to work out what they are? You will think about parts of the body, how they move, what sounds they make and more. Receive a Fabulous Farmer certificate from Farmer Lee for all your hard work.

Farmer for a Day

Farmer Lee has gone on holiday and needs you to help him look after the animals left behind. He only needs you to look after the farm animals so you will need to use the clues to find out which belong on a farm and which do not. Farmer Lee will make you part of his farming team at World of Country Life and give you a certificate for being such fabulous farmers!

Key Stage 1

Animal Detectives

The fun-loving ferrets have hidden some of ‘Appy Angus’ treasure. Can you use the animal clues at each of the locations to find out where they are hidden? Use the features of the animals to work out what type of animal they are and learn about birds, mammals and insects along the way. Let Angus know where his treasure is and he will give you an Animal Detective certificate for your help.
