English - Can you make a folding book on plants?

Today in English we're redrafting and adding to our pages on plants that we wrote yesterday and the day before. 

We are going to use handwriting pens and illustrate our work.

First, we made folding books like this one in this video;

We then added a contents page and glossary to our books.

We'd love to see photographs of your finished books if you e-mail;

Habitats and survival

In Science today, we are describing how different habitats provide for the needs of different animals and plants.

Let's get thinking with a big question.

Can you think of one positive and one negative of living under water?

You might want to think about what animals already live under water, and what attributes or features they have that are different from land animals.

A habitat is the natural home of animals and plants. Habitats are important places for the needs of these animals and plants as they provide food, water, shelter and a place to bring up their young.

What is a humans habitat?

What special features does a human have to help them survive?

Thinking about what humans need to survive, can you explain why Miss Ali would not survive in these habitats?

When you are done, you can logon to PurpleMash and search for this habitat quiz:

English - All about Plants

Today in English we're starting to write the first two pages of our non-fiction books on plants. 

What information do we need to include in our non-fiction books?

We decide to write a page on sunflowers and a page on peas today as this is what we've been growing in our edible playground. 

We carried out some further research on each plant so that we could include lots of fascinating facts and accurate information in our writing.

Some of our Research;

- DK Find Out on Plants; Click Here

- RHS Sunflower Information; Click Here

- RHS Pea Information: Click Here

We then wrote two pages of our books on plants that were filled with information. Which look like this;

                                        You can find the pages in your English workpacks. 
                                          We'd love to see your writing. If you e-mail it to;
