Dear Parents, Guardians and Children,

We hope you are all well and you enjoyed the Easter holidays and all the Easter Eggs!!

Like previous weeks we have attached work below for the children to complete in their own time. Again, we would like to stress that this is just an attempt at keeping some

structure and routine in place for the children and is in no way meant to cause any added stress or pressure in these circumstances. Please work through it at your own leisure.

SESE: Animal Adaptations – Do you remember when we were talking about how different

animals adapt to their habitats? This means that they can survive in the places they live.

For example a human can live on earth because we can breathe with oxygen but we would

not survive under the sea because we can’t breathe under water without an oxygen helmet

The desert is a very hot place. Here are some ways a camel has adapted to living here to help it survive.

Animals have to adapt to living in the desert.

Camels do this in the following ways:

Long eyelashes keep out dust

Tough mouth for eating thorny plants

Large padded feet to stop sinking into the sand

Stores water in stomach

Tail scares flies away

Light colour to reflect heat

Hair on back for shade
