Wild animals - food chains food webs and non fiction texts

We've been looking at Australian animals so far and have done some great research.

We're now going to use our skills of using information books and websites as well as our scientific skills of grouping animals (using keys) to make our own animal keys and food chain and food webs.

Remember that when you use these websites, you need to skim and scan...skim over the page for what it is about and scan for particular words you are looking for.

BBC Blue Planet

We are learning about habitats in science.  If you go to the science tab there are several links to good websites about habitats, both in Britain and in Australia, our main topic of the term.

Here is an amazing bbc site which helps you learn about the Habitat of the British coast.  It's set up as a game.

Let me know your scores by posting as a comment.

Here is another useful habitat site if you're interested in making a bug home.

Australian Animals

I'm sure you know about the kangaroo, wallabee and the emu, but do you know many more Australian animals? Do you know the type of place they live...their habitat?

Follow this link. Read the questions and then see if you can find the answers by researching using the links.

If you find any amazing facts then add them as comments. Good luck.
