Sarah is a gardener. She has a compost heap. She puts dead plants on her compost heap. She puts leaves on her compost heap. She puts vegetable peelings on her compost heap. Which one of these animals likes to live in her compost heap?

Where living things are found is called their habitat. It’s not just big animals that need somewhere to live. Tiny animals need a home too. We call their homes micro-habitats. At school have you gone looking for tiny animals? Have you looked under stones? Have you looked under bushes? Have you looked under logs? Have you looked for tiny animals at home? What have you found out? Where do these tiny animals like to live? What is the micro-habitat of these tiny, but living, things?
