Planet in Peril and Creative homework


        Our new topic this term is Planet in Peril the planet has been destroyed by humans and scientists think that this world will become a world of desolation; the school will teach the future generation, us, to protect and care for the planet. But of course save the planet to have fun!
 
 
Creative Homework…has been designed to offer an opportunity for children to assume more responsibility in choosing, organising, presenting and taking an active role in their learning.  Children must complete a minimum of 5 out of the 10 tasks by Friday 12th December 2014. Any children not completing at least five tasks (one per week) will be required to work at lunchtimes to catch up during that last week.

The order of the tasks, the choice of tasks and the frequency of handing in each piece of work is up to the child.  ICT can be used as and where appropriate and if desired. Homework designs are completely up to the individual.

This opportunity will enhance children’s learning, help prepare them for secondary school by taking responsibility for their homework and also make homework more enjoyable.

 

1.     Create a model in a shoebox (or similar/smaller box) of a habitat.

 

2.     Design the front page of a newspaper after an environmental disaster has occurred.

 

3.     Design a word search using key environmental words.

 

4.     Design a maths game with a conservation theme.

 

5.     Create a fair trade product and a poster to advertise it.

 

6.     Research a part of the world affected by climate change and produce a report about it.

 

7.     Create 6 mathematical word problems and answers involving the environment.

 

8.     You have survived an environmental disaster. Write a poem about your experience.

 

9.     Draw a sketch of a human habitat on another planet, thinking about what humans need to survive.

 

10.                        Create a quiz (including answers) on an environmental topic of your choice.

 

Please note:

When handing in homework, children must put their name on each piece and tick off the homework chart in the classroom.
