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.

Wow, what a World Book Day. Some great visits from Julian Warrender and Jamie Thomson, two fabulous local authors. What did you enjoy about their visits? Have you read either of their books? What did you think? Add your comments to this post.

Your home learning task is to prepare for our assembly on Thursday. Get the costumes you need for your advert and collect an old plastic bottle to make into a version of your product.  The second part of the home learning is to have a look on the Children’s University website and further investigate our skeletons. What facts did you discover? Add them as comments to the post.

 

Healthy Drink Advertising

We’ve been looking at advertising healthy and energy giving drinks. Have a look at these quick posters we created using 2Publish Extra. Can you spy any persuasive features?

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Which posters did you like? What features do you think our class could add to improve our persuasive writing? Add comments to let us know.

 

Home Learning 1-3-2013

This week’s home learning task is to complete either the 100 Word or 5 Sentence Challenge. You can add your response to the blog as a comment, or you can write it in your book.

The 100 Word Challenge prompt for this week is quite a simple one. It is:

…the car stopped suddenly…

Make sure you keep to the 100 word limit and do go and visit at least 2 other pieces from different schools on the 100 Word blog.]

The 5 Sentence Challenge prompt is a picture. Try to write 5 interesting sentences about the image and see if you can vary the word you start the sentence with.
