Where living things are found is called their habitat. It’s not just big animals that need somewhere to live. Mini-beasts need a home too. We call their homes micro-habitats. At school have you gone looking for mini-beasts? Have you looked under stones? Have you looked under bushes? Have you looked under logs? Have you looked for mini-beasts 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?
