Before you can get started you need to choose either an endangered animal or a threatened habitat.
E.g. Giant panda, polar bear, African elephant OR the rainforest, Antarctica, coral reef.

Over the next few days you are going to research why the animal has become endangered or how the habitat is now threatened. With the aim of writing a letter from this animal/ habitat to the world informing them of what they need to do to help.

Think about some of these when researching:
- the impact humans have had (e.g. hunting, deforestation, plastic pollution)
- climate change
- reasons why the habitats have been lost
- changes to the ecosystem
- what can we do to help?

You will be conducting your research from Monday to Wednesday this week so don’t feel like you need to rush through it all today!

* Keep all your research together in one place.

Today, research a piece of art that you like, and write a small response to it. Take the time to look at the piece of art, and try to understand why you like it. When you write your response, try to focus on the feelings and meaning that the artwork gives you.
Example artwork

• Mona Lisa (Leonardo da Vinci)
• Starry night (Vincent van Gogh)
• The water lily pond (Monet)
• Convergence (Jackson Pollock)
• The weeping woman (Pablo Picasso)

You can research your own piece as well if you like!

You can write your response on a piece of paper, in a notebook or email your response to your teacher.

1. Listen to the next 15 minutes of George’s Marvellous Medicine. 

2. On a piece of paper plan a set of instructions for your own Marvellous Medicine.

Think about the following questions:
- What ingredients will you use?
- Which time adverbials could you use?
- What would the process be to make the medicine?
