For your homework this week imagine that you are going on holiday to a dessert island. You can only take 5 luxury items. What items would you take and why have you chosen them?

Ask other people in your family what they would choose and find out why they have chosen those things.

Home Learning 19th April

Badgers Class    Habitats   Home Learning

A habitat is a place where a collection of plants and animals live and which provides them with food and shelter.

Seashores, gardens and ponds are all examples of habitats. Habitats can be big (a forest, for example) or small (a leaf, for example).

How plants and animals adapt: Animals and plants are adapted to their habitats. This means that they have special features that help them to survive.

Animals suiting their habitat: The animals and plants in one habitat are suited to live there and may not be able to survive in other habitats. A woodland owl, for example, would not survive in a desert habitat.

When a habitat changes, the animals and plants that live there are affected. For example, when pond weed is removed from a pond, the fish and snails that live on the pond weed for food may find it hard to survive.

 

Choose a British wild animal to investigate

 

1. Find two features which help your animal adapt to its environment.

2. Why do these two features help your animal in this habitat?

3. In your own words write a definition for the word  ‘habitat’.

 

Use words and pictures to present your answers in an interesting way.

Time for some Time

We’ve been looking at Time in our Maths sessions, and will be continuing in some sessions this week. Here’s a site which has some great links for time activities online. Have a go and add your comments about the activities to the post as comments. What top tips do you have for working out a time? What about digital or 24hr clocks?

 

Home Learning 15.3.13

This week’s home learning task follows on from our datahandling work in class. Your task is to investigate the different food packages at home and what they’re made of.  Look at the food packaging survey homelearning file to find out more details.

 

Snow Day!

As a result of all the snow we’re closed today. After you’ve made snowmen and thrown snowballs, what next? You could rehearse your part of the assembly. We’ll be practising more tomorrow, but any rehearsing of lines you could do will help.

In addition, why not create a poster advertising Barcombe as a Winter holiday location. Perhaps take photos and think of a snowy slogan, or pretend that you could do cross-country skiing through Knowlands Wood! Try to be imaginative and remember that advertising is often about exaggerating the truth! Alternatively, draw a picture of the scene outside your bedroom window.

Fancy a maths challenge? Why not measure the distance between your family’s footsteps in the snow! Who has the longest? Or try the spicy maths challenge linked to the picture.
