Dosbarth Coala Home School Task



Learning Objective: To explore a topic in different ways by producing 2 different pieces of home learning
Remember to: Think carefully about what we are learning.
Present my homework in different ways.
Given out –Friday 23rd May
Hand in by – Monday 30th June

Our topic for the next term half term is called ‘Dens and Dandelions'. It focuses primarily on science, learning about a range of different woodland animals and which habitats they live in. For this homework, we are asking adults to support children in producing a minimum of 2 pieces of homework over the 7 weeks we will be focusing on our topic. This could be anything from, writing, art work, design technology, science investigations or research.

Here are some ideas to get your child started:
* Make bark rubbings of a tree in the local area or garden
* Visit local woodland and complete a workbook.  This can be downloaded from the following site: http://www.naturedetectives.org.uk/download/booklet_woodlandlog.htm or ask for a copy from us at school
* Measure natural objects such as leaves and trees
* Build a home for a woodland animal
* Design a woodland area
* Draw/sketch/paint/collage/model a woodland animal
* Make a bar graph to show the most common wild flower or plant growing in the local area or garden
* Create 2-D and 3‐D shapes using natural materials
* Read a story about woodland animals and write a review


Please feel free to talk to a member of staff if you have any queries about this homework project. Thank you again for your continued support with your child’s learning!
