Eco-Week + Biodiversity

It's Eco-Week next week and our topic is biodiversity. On Monday morning, Mr Llewellyn and myself will be having a biodiversity quiz with both classes. Why not try to find out a little bit about biodiversity over the weekend? E.g. What does biodiversity mean?

Here are some interesting websites for you to have a look through over the weekend. There are several fun activities to try too.
