Here are your 5 fluency activities for the week. Try and do one every day and then mark
them in a coloured pen. Give yourself a smiley face if you did a good job with them

We will be comparing plants found in familiar habitats with unfamiliar habitats using different factors such as water, light and temperature.
Do you think a plant could germinate if the sun stopped shining? Jimmy has bought a cactus from Tapps Garden Centre and he thinks he can plant it in his back garden in Baldock. Can you write a leaflet or poster explaining how Jimmy should look after his cactus at home. You will need to explain what his cactus needs to survive and you could also include how it is adapted to live in desert habitats and not in an English back garden. (fold a piece of A5 in half to make a small leaflet.) Big Question
Could an oak tree grow in the desert? If not, why not? Geography How does the geographical satellite image of Baldock differ from that of Kampong Ayer?
If you can get Google maps on your laptop or tablet, have a close look at Baldock and then
Kampong Ayer.
Can you find (on both maps)
A school
A supermarket
A river
A park
A police station
A river
A house
If you zoom in close enough you can see roads and walkways. See if you can find your
house in Baldock or wherever you live and then find a house that you would like to live in, in
Kampong Ayer.

methods.
