Micro-habitats!

In science this term, we have been looking at animals and their habitats. First, we started at what is a living thing. We explored MRS GREN:

Movement

Respiration

Sensitivity

 

Growth

Reproduction

Excretement

Nutrition

 

Then we started to explore habitats around us. We are very lucky to have the swale and discussed how certain animals are suited to living in a pond envionment. We also explored that the pond needs the animals to be able to spread seeds. 

After, we went on a microhabitat hunt such as under a log, in the grass and at the bottom of a tree. 

Finally, we explored habitats around the world: arctic, rainforest, desert and ocean. We sorted which animals would live in each habitat and also how the animals depend on the habitat.

Helping at Home

Ways to help at home

  • Read every day
  • Practise your spellings and common exception words
  • As you read spot the sounds in words, can you find digraphs (two letters that make one sound) and trigraphs (three letters that make one sound)?
  • Count in 2s, 5s and 10s forwards and backwards
  • Learn your number bonds for all numbers to 20 (e.g number bonds to 7 are 1+6, 2+5, 3+4, etc.)
  • Practise telling the time to the hour, quarter past, half past, quarter to and as an extra challenge to 5 minute intervals (five past, ten past etc.)
  • Practise letter formation using the correct pencil grip and develop fine motor skills (peg pressing, picking pasta shells/rice with tweezers)
