This half term our mini adventure is
Do you wish you were here? We will be exploring micro- habitats. Now the weather is expected to be a little better this week, you need to get your explorers hat on!
Task 1
Your first task this week
is to research using

We have been learning about the
different habitats where living
things make their homes. Some of
these habitats are very big, like a
woodland. Some habitats are very
small; we call these microhabitats.
A large habitat contains many
microhabitats. A microhabitat can
be as small as a fallen branch or the space under a stone. On your daily walk or in your garden, you must find a microhabitat.
Create a list of five things that are alive, five things that are dead and five
Mrs Lamboard has a question. It will help her to buildMicrohabitats at forest school.Can we help her to answer it?
You are going to look closely at two different microhabitats. Explore two
different microhabitats – remember these can be in the same larger
habitat. Draw each microhabitat carefully and write a sentence to
describe what it is like.
Task 3
Next we are going to complete a survey, you will need to look closely at
each microhabitat and count up each kind of minibeast that you find.
You will use this survey to complete a pictogram. You will need to
complete a pictogram for the two different microhabitats.
Do all minibeasts like living in the same
micohabitat? Why?
Look at your habitat drawings and descriptions. What were
your two microhabitats like? Look closely at both
pictograms. Did your two habitats have different kinds
of minibeasts? Can you suggest why? Can you answer Mrs
Lamboards’ question?
Do all minibeasts like living in the
same micohabitat? Why?
You may want to create a microhabitat in your own garden. Here are some ideas. There are lots more ideas for bug hotels online.
Well done for surviving lockdown so far, it has been a scary time and I know you are missing your friends, I am very proud of each and every one of you for working so hard at home. Keep up the hard work and keep being good for your families!
This week two videos will be posted, one by myself and one by Miss Stevenson, your new teacher. If you are choosing not to tell your child this news yet, please avoid these videos and save them for a later time.
Thank you so much for the wonderful emails – I have been overwhelmed by your kindness and it has been wonderful to hear how the children are getting along at home. I look forward to popping back into school to say goodbye, once school is reopen.
