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.

Remember that it is the Fashion Show next Friday, where we are all using recycled clothes to create an outfit. We would like Year 5 to dress in something to do with biodiversity e.g. a minibeast/ plant/ insect costume.
