All the resources needed to give a lesson about why the barbastelle bat is an endangered animal, concluding with a diary writing task.

This pack contains the following resources:
• PowerPoint lesson presentation, 20+ slides
• Barbastella bat information text
• Glossary
• Barbastelle bat diary WAGOLL
• Barbastelle bat diary feature find
• Barbastelle bat diary feature find answers

Using the lesson presentation slides, information text and glossary, teach pupils about the endangered barbastelle bat; share the model diary text; pupils examine the text using the feature find sheet; and then pupils write their own diary entry from the point of view of the threatened British bat.

The diary writing task has cross-curricular links to the Year 4 programme of study in science: Living Things and Their Habitats - To recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things.

The information text has cross curricular links to the science curriculum:
✎ Year 3: Animals Including Humans - identify that animals, including humans, need the right types and amount of nutrition, and that they cannot make their own food; they get nutrition from what they eat
✎ Year 4: Living Things and Their Habitats - recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways
✎ Year 4: Animals Including Humans - construct and interpret a variety of food chains, identifying producers, predators and prey
✎ Year 5: Living Things and Their Habitats - describe the life process of reproduction in some plants and animals
✎ Year 6: Living Things and Their Habitats - give reasons for classifying plants and animals based on specific characteristics
✎ Year 6: Evolution and Inheritance - identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution

The resources are editable Word/PowerPoint files and PDFs.
