Savanna biome pack for KS1 and lower KS2. 43 pages of grassland ecology - food webs, migration, adaptation and the termite mounds that hold the whole system together.

What children will explore

• Food webs and chains - who eats what, from producer all the way to decomposer
• The Great Migration - tracing the wildebeest route across the grasslands
• Wet season and dry season - how one place becomes two different worlds
• Adaptation - speed, height, camouflage and stripes, each solving a different problem
• Why fire helps - the savanna needs burning to grow, not just survive it
• Working together - the oxpecker and the buffalo, and the acacia’s ant army

Meet the savanna

• Acacia tree - the thorny umbrella with its own ant army
• Wildebeest - the great traveller of the grasslands
• Thomson’s gazelle - the bouncing escape artist
• Lion - the top of the food chain
• African wild dog - the painted wolf of the grasslands
• Termite - the tiny builders the savanna depends on

Why teachers and parents love this pack

• Real ecosystem science - food webs, habitats, adaptation and migration, not a list of African animals
• The termite mound cross-section teaches that the smallest creature holds the system up
• Fire as a force for growth is a genuinely surprising idea, handled properly
• Activities build from knowledge to hands-on to writing and reflection
• Botanical watercolour throughout, never clipart
