This term’s Homework Project will be based on our science topics: ‘Habitats’ and ‘Moving and Growing’. The children have shown great enthusiasm so far and have contributed many animal facts to the class discussions. As this is such a short term we will only be setting one piece of homework that will be due in the week prior to the Easter Holiday [week beginning 19th March].
We would like your child to investigate a habitat of their choice such as the arctic, the rainforest, the jungle, pond, desert, ocean, woodland, river bank etc. They will need to create an information poster or model of that habitat.
We would then like the children to use their imagination in order to generate their own animal that will live in their chosen habitat. Your child will need to consider how the animal is suited to the habitat e.g. does it have lots of fur as it is in a cold climate? Is it camouflaged to suit the environment? Does it have prickles or horns to warn off other predators that are in their chosen environment? This needs to be drawn and labelled indentifying its features.
