Morning Starters: Autumn 1 - Life Cycles
Did You Know?
Every living thing has a life cycle, and each one is wonderfully unique! A life cycle shows how creatures grow, change, and reproduce according to their environment. For example, birds hatch from eggs, develop feathers, and eventually achieve flight; amphibians begin life as tadpoles in water before undergoing a dramatic transformation; and mammals, like us, start life inside their mothers, where they are equipped with the necessary nutrients to grow.
