|Learning Project - to be done throughout the week: Environment |

|[pic] |

|The project this week aims to provide opportunities for your child to gain a better understanding of the environment. Learning |

|focuses on changes to different environments, the impact of humans on environments and climate change. |

| |

|Let’s Wonder: |

| |

|Research the water cycle (eg. type into google ‘What is the water cycle?) Draw a scientific diagram of the water cycle then add |

|labels and captions to explain how it works. |

| |

|Let’s Create: |

| |

|Using materials destined for your recycling bin, design and make a recycling mascot to spread the word about the importance and need |

|to recycle. Think about what it is going to look like? Which materials will you use? Think about how you will join the materials |

|together? Once completed, remember to evaluate your mascot. What would you do differently next time? Which parts did you find the |

|most challenging and why? |

| |

|Be Active: |

| |

|Get into the garden and practise throwing and catching skills and keeping control of ball-based equipment like bats and balls. |

| |

|Recommendation: at least 2 hours of exercise a week. |

| |

|Time to Talk: |

| |

|Have you heard of the Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg? She believes that everyone needs to do more to slow down |

|climate change. Other people disagree and think that climate change isn’t important. What do you think? Discuss the issues with your |

|family. What do you know and think about climate change? What could we do to reduce it? |

| |

| |

|Understanding Others and Appreciating Differences: |

| |

|Throughout our lives, culture and experience shapes worldviews, children growing up in the United Kingdom, for example, have a much |

|different understanding of the role of water in their lives than children who live in a very dry place like part of Africa. Think |

|about food. How do they think people view food in the UK compared to those living in Ethiopia for example? Research a country where |

|food and water are scarce. Find out about charities that help people in need, Red cross, Christain Aid, Islamic Relief or other |

|charities that are significant to them. Present your research as a PowerPoint presentation or as a poster. |
