As part of our science topic this term, Living Things and Their Habitats, we would like to invite the children to create a “Habitat in a Box” for their homework.

This activity will help the children explore different environments and understand how living things are suited to their habitats.

What to do:

• Use a box (it doesn’t have to be a shoebox – any box of a similar size will work).
• Choose a habitat and create a model inside the box using craft materials, recycled items, or natural objects.
• Include features that show what makes the habitat suitable for the animals and plants that live there.

Examples of habitats they could make:

• Rainforest – trees, vines, exotic animals
• Desert – sand, cacti, camels
• Ocean – fish, coral reefs, seaweed
• Woodland – trees, logs, foxes, birds
• Polar regions – ice, snow, penguins, polar bears

Please ensure the project is completed by 06.02.26. The children will receive the boxes and the contents of them back at the end of the half term. Please see some examples below:

We can’t wait to see the children’s creative ideas!

Thank you for your support.
