A producer is the name given to a living thing that produces its own food, rather than consuming another living thing. Producers are typically green plants who make their own nutrients by photosynthesis. Producers are eaten by primary consumers - the first consumer in a food chain.
From the age of 6, your child will be learning about food chains and the key words for each living thing that fits into a food chain. Producers are essential for the rest of the food chain to survive. Your child will also find out about how green plants produce their own food by photosynthesis. For more information about producers, head to the Twinkl Teaching Wiki.
Check your child’s understanding of the food chain key words by looking through this PowerPoint together. Can they explain what a producer is? They might enjoy a food chain sorting game - how many food chain combinations are possible? This key word matching sheet is a great way to check your child understands the definitions. If your child is aged 9-11, they might be learning about photosynthesis in their science lessons - this is the way plants produce their own food. You might want to check out our Twinkl Parenting Wiki entry about this.
To ensure the safety of the children in your setting, it is your responsibility to assess whether adult supervision or other appropriate safety measures are required when using scissors.
