Bring one of KS1’s most engaging science topics to life with this fun, interactive and curriculum-linked class assembly.

When a group of curious children visits a magical Habitat Fair, they meet an exciting cast of woodland, pond, garden and seaside creatures, each eager to explain why their home is the perfect place to live. As the fair unfolds, the children discover that every habitat provides the food, water, shelter and space living things need to survive. But when litter and habitat damage begin causing problems, they work together to restore each environment and learn that caring for nature helps every living thing thrive.

Designed specifically for Key Stage 1, this ready-to-perform assembly combines exciting storytelling with engaging scientific learning, helping children understand habitats, the needs of living things and the importance of protecting the natural world.
