What a learner can do afterwards

Names at least 3 animals from different environments (e.g., forest, ocean, desert)
States that animals live on land, in water, and some can fly
Recognises that animals live on every continent

The lesson

Animals live all over the world. Some live on land. Some live in water. Some can fly in the air.

Try it together

Mia sees a camel in the hot desert. She sees a parrot flying in the rainforest. She sees a shark swimming in the ocean. Each animal fits its home.

Tap each star and count out loud.

Mia sees 3 animals in 3 different homes: a camel in the desert, a parrot in the rainforest, and a shark in the ocean.

Every continent has animals too. Even icy Antarctica has animals. Penguins live there in the cold snow.

Good to know

Look at an animal's body. It shows you where it lives. Wings help flying, fins help swimming.

Animals live on land, water, air, and every continent.
