Before school closed, children were given their Spring homework project. If you didn’t get round to completing it here’s a reminder: homework spring. We received some lovely photos of some very creative chocolate bars and would love to see more!

Hello Year 6 – we hope you had a lovely Easter and ate lots of chocolate!

This week, for your challenge, we would like you to invent a habitat for an animal of your choice.

Our Science topic this term is ‘animals including humans’ so this challenge is a great start to introduce you to this unit.

You could draw your habitat for your animal, label the different features and explain why you have used them. You could even create your habitat using things from your house (like cardboard, plastic etc) and write an explanation about why your habitat would suit the animal of your choice. Be creative!

If you complete the challenge, please send your pictures to:

lucinda.morgan@taw.org.uk

april.whitehouse@taw.org.uk

We look forward to seeing some of your incredible creations!
