Animals and Creatures that help us
Natural Science
Animal Habitats and Shelters
Key concept: Animals live in different types of habitats such as forests, grasslands, rivers and oceans. Each habitat gives them food, water and shelter to help them survive. (Barnard et al., 2013)
Activity: Learners are given pictures of animals and pictures of habitats. They work in pairs or small groups to match each animal to its correct habitat. The learners will then discuss why each animal lives there. (ChatGPT, 2025)
Animal body parts
Key concept: Different animals have body parts that help them do their work and live in their environments. (Bees have wings to fly and collect nectar and cows have hooves to walk on farms.) (Barnard et al., 2013)
Activity: Learners pick their favourite animal, draw a picture of it, and label its main body parts. Then, they share with the class how each body part helps the animal,
Social Science
Animals that give us food and clothes (bees, chicken, cattle, sheep)
Key concept: Animals give us food and resources we can use to make clothes and other useful items. (CAPS, 2011)
Activity: Learners will complete a worksheet with a list of animals on one side and products on the other. The teacher will ask questions when they are done with the activity. (ChatGPT, 2025)
Animals that word for us (dogs, donkeys, horses)
Key concept: Some animals help people by carrying loads, guarding homes, or working on farms. We look after them so they stay healthy and can keep helping us. (CAPS, 2011)
Activity: Learners will draw, label and write one fact about how an animal helps in the community in groups of 4. Learners will discuss the poster with the class once they are done.
Technology
Structures
Key concept: Structures are things we build or find in nature that stand strong and hold their shape to do a job. (Barnard et al., 2013)
Activity: Learners will use toothpicks and jelly tots to build their own honeycomb in groups of 5. learners will answer questions on the worksheet as a group.
Processes
Key concept: Some animals give us food that we can change or process to make new products. (Barnard et al., 2013)
Activity: learners choose their favourite food that comes from an animal and make a flow chart. Start-Middle-End (ChatGPT, 2025)
