There are three different writing activities – you can do them all if you would like!

There is a link below to a blank fact file template you can use to help you structure your information. https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/fact-file-layout-t-l-4553Alternatively, you can follow the link below to learn how to make a mini book from one piece of paper.

2. One the very important roles of the zoo is to protect endangered animals – these are animals that are in danger of becoming extinct, meaning there will be no more left in the world!

In the poster you can explain why this animal needs our help and what we can do to help it!A poster needs to be bright and colourful and have a clear and simple message. Do these examples do that?

3. Write a story about your favourite animal in the zoo. For example, you could imagine you had one of these animals as a pet. Or maybe this animal sneaked into your bag as you left the zoo and has now appeared in your house! What are you going to do now!!

Technology/Art – Inspired by a range of stimuli, I can express and communicate my ideas within art and design.Edinburgh zoo are working on getting giraffes to come and join them! In order for them to live in the zoo they need their own enclosure. Image they asked you to design a new enclosure for the giraffes. You will need to make sure this enclosure has enough space for them to move around and places for them to eat and sleep. What features could you design in your enclosure to keep the giraffes entertained and warm? In addition, your enclosure could include some information panels about how giraffes live in the wild to educate people who come to see the giraffes. If you would prefer to you could design an enclosure for a different animal. You could even design one for fairy tale animal like a dragon, his enclosure would have to be fireproof!You can draw and label your design, or you could make it out of junk by raiding your family’s recycling collection! Here are some junk modelling examples, the green one has been made from a shoe box! In the other example the child has made a whole zoo out of junk!

Please take a photo of your finished enclosure and put it in your learning journal as we would love to see it!
