Task 2: How big is an enclosure?

Animals come in all different sizes and so the size of the habitat where they live will vary. Have a

look at the following map diagrams and see if you can spot which animal lives there and how big it is.

One way of comparing the size of an enclosure is to measure the perimeter – the length of the fence

needed to enclose or box the animals in. Obviously, it must join up all the way around so the animals

don’t escape! https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvmxsbk/articles/zsr4k7h (Instead of steps,

we will be measuring around the perimeter of our enclosures in squares, which we will pretend

represent Metres).

Find the total perimeter of these enclosures – there is more squared paper at the end of the pack.

Task 4: Animal Fact File

Outside each enclosure there is usually an information board that tells the visitor all about

the animal inside: What species or group of animals it is part of, where it is from, what it

eats and other interesting facts, like how many of them there are and what it is famous for.

Your task is to make up an imaginary animal and create a fact file about it with the

following features:

• Logo of the zoo

• Title (Name of your animal, so make it big and attention-grabbing)

• Picture of the animal

• 3 subheadings with a paragraph of information for each subheading about a

different aspect of the animal.

➢ Make sure your facts are all about that particular aspect (just what it eats or just

where it is found) and grouped together in sentences. You can be as creative as

you like – but try and show what you know about animals and their diet and

habitat, as a basis for your ideas.

• Diagrams or map of where the animal is from

• Include a fun fact box with a silly or interesting ‘Did you know…’ idea.

It could be a mix of two types of real animal like a donkey and a crocodile, a Donkodile,

or a Porcupig, a pig and a porcupine!

For an extra challenge, start each paragraph with a topic sentence that sums up the

main idea of what you are explaining. https://study.com/academy/lesson/topic-sentences-

Task 5: Perimeter investigation - animal enclosures

*Watch the Seesaw Lessons for a full explanation* Video Instructions

You will need to complete Monday’s perimeter task before you start this task.

Your task today is to create enclosures for the animals below. Each animal needs an enclosure of 4 sides with a

perimeter, the outside edges, of a certain size. Each box contains the animal’s name and the perimeter of its

enclosure, you will need to create three different sized enclosures with the same perimeter.

Perimeter is the length of the outside edge of any shape.

This square has a perimeter of 8, each side is 2 squares long and it has 4 sides

so 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8

This rectangle also has a perimeter of 8, it has 2 sides that are 3 squares long and 2 that are

1 square long so 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 8

Let’s try and work out the enclosure for the

Asian small-clawed otters.

We need to make an enclosure with a

perimeter of 20.

First, we can work out if we can make a

square enclosure that equals 20.

We can do this by dividing/sharing 20 by 4.

Can you work it out?

The answer is yes, we can divide/share 20 by 4 and we get 5.

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 so we have a square enclosure with 4 sides of 5 squares.

Be careful, this won’t work for every enclosure.

Next we need to make another enclosure that has 4 sides that equal 20. We can work this

out by halving the total, 20, and then thinking of 2 numbers that make half of 20.

In a square or a rectangle the opposite sides are the same length so we need to write each

number twice to give us 4 sides.

Half of 20 is 10. 4 + 6 = 10 so that is 2 sides but we need 4.

Remember, opposite sides are the same length so we need to write

each number twice so we have 4 + 4 + 6 + 6 = 20.

Your go. Can you create another enclosure for the otters that has a

perimeter of 20?

Give it a go then check the answers on the next page

Opposite sides

are same length

Page 11: Bramley Church of England Primary Home Learning …fluencycontent2-schoolwebsite.netdna-ssl.com/FileCluster/...This week we are holding a year group competition. V Year 4 There will

Bramley Church of England Primary

11

There are 3 possible answers to the question and you can have the numbers in any order.

7 + 7 + 3 + 3 = 20, 8 + 8 + 2 + 2 = 20 9 + 9 + 1 + 1 = 20

You can’t have 10 + 10 + 0 + 0 = 20 as that would just be a straight line.

Did you get it right? If so move on to the animals below. If not give it another go and see if

you can work it out.

Write your answers in your home learning books or use the maths paper at the back of this

pack. Share these answers on Seesaw.

Extra challenge

Can you find all the solutions for each animal?

Can you create different shaped enclosures for the animals using the same perimeter? You

may need to draw these.

I can create one for my Otters that has 6 sides with a

perimeter of 20.

6 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 20 What can you do?

You could share this on Seesaw too.

Task 6: Plan, Create and Draw a Zoo map

Your task today is to design and draw a map of your zoo.

Have a look at these maps from zoos around Britain to help you get some ideas and understand

what a good zoo map look likes.

You can explore each map in more detail by following/clicking on the link below each map.

Your map will need to include (tick when you have included them on your map)

An entrance A gift shop and or cafe Toilets

A picnic area At least 10 different animals and enclosures

Paths and roads for people to walk on

You might also want to include:

A play area An education centre Some fun rides

A transport system like a train or a bus for people to get

around the zoo easily Ice cream huts

Special exhibits like a tropical/reptile house or an

aquarium

A car park Activities like face painting and Keeper talks

When designing your zoo you should think about:

• How you can make it easy for people to walk around and see all the exhibits.

• Which animals can share enclosures?

• That the enclosures are the right size for the animals in them.

• Where you place the parts that aren’t animal enclosures like the toilets.

• Do you have a good range of animals?

Before you draw your map it would be a good idea to plan out the exhibitions and attractions you want in your

zoo, this way you know what you are including and how big it needs to be. If you look at the maps you can see

that they use different symbols and pictures and a key to tell visitors what is at the zoo, don’t forget to include

them in yours.

If you are in year 4 and want an extra challenge look at the map of Adelaide Zoo. They have created a grid and

used coordinates to guide visitors to their exhibits, add this to your map.

https://www.adelaidezoo.com.au/visitor-information/

You can draw your zoo in your home learning book or on a plain sheet of paper or if you are feeling

adventurous why not make a model of it after you have drawn it.

Task 9: Create a soundscape for an animal enclosure of your choice *Upload to Seesaw*

What is a soundscape?

A soundscape is a recording of all the sounds from a place. This is a safari soundscape

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceHQCmorbBE . There are many sounds created by the

animals, what they are doing and the surroundings. Notice how there are sounds which are

happening at the same time as each other. Some sounds are louder, quieter, faster and some are

slower.

Gathering ideas

Watch these links to help you with ideas for your own zoo soundscape. Some have sounds but some

do not. Think about the noise the trees would make as they sway in the wind, the sound of the

animals’ footsteps, the birds/insects in the background and the sounds of the animals interacting

with each other.

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GsvgKu1060

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjG34Vysszo

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i18nuXzJrVQ

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36oE0EBeESM&feature=emb_logo (This is the trailer for the new Lion King for inspiration)

How to create your own soundscape

You are going to make a soundscape which creates the sounds of your chosen enclosure. First,

choose an animal enclosure at your zoo. It could be one of the above or it could be different.

Think about:

• What would be happening in the enclosure and so what sounds would be heard.

• What sounds would be louder or quieter.

• If the sounds would be happening at the same time or be one after the other.

• How you can create these sounds. Please make sure you ask your parents before using items

from around the house. You could even get other family members involved to help you

create the sounds. Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omr4lCQ1V6k for ideas

about what you could use as well as looking at the pictures below.

Once you have recorded your soundscape for your enclosure, you will need to add it to Seesaw or

you can record your soundscape directly on to Seesaw using the video button.

In the comments box you could write what you have included in your soundscape.

Straw pan

pipes Tin or plastic drums Shakers Bottle top castanets

Task 10: A Day in the life of a Zookeeper *Upload to Seesaw*

While you visit a zoo, you might wonder who the people walking around in uniforms are? What is

their role, and what do they do for the animals every day? If the animals are in separate enclosures,

how do they get their food, or get the plants they prefer to eat? If they are locked up all day, how do

they stay healthy and happy?

See what these zoo professionals have to say about their job:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-12-09/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-zookeeper/9228216

http://www.careercamel.com/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-zookeeper/

https://www.stlzoo.org/about/blog/2019/07/22/ask-zookeeper

Now imagine you are an experienced zookeeper and are being interviewed by a group of visiting

children from Bramley School.

What can you tell them about the life of a zookeeper – the thrills, the dangers, the important jobs,

your least favourite bits! Which animals you care for?

Use these questions as headings, and write your answers using specific nouns and a range

of fronted adverbials* to start each answer, then record yourself talking it, to the camera.

(Top tip: Use present tense).

Q1 What animals are you responsible for?

You: If you want to be a zookeeper, you have to be prepared to work with all different animals, from

aquatic terrapins, to large mammals, like giraffes. Every day is different!

Q2 How do you care for the animals?

Q3 What are the best aspects of being a zookeeper?

Q4 Is there any part of working in a zoo you don’t like?

As an extra challenge:

Q5. Can you share with us something that you will always remember?

(Writing in role as a zookeeper, you could make up an imaginary account of something memorable

that could have happened, using similes to create a dramatic effect. Once, when I was in the reptile

house, I felt a tickle on the back of my neck, and when I turned around, it was Boris the Boa

constrictor, his coils rippling like waves on the shore. His eyes were unusually glassy and reflected in

them, I looked like a tasty snack so, as quick as a flash, I assembled his breakfast!)

What’s a fronted adverbial? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk-_LIc3dWA&t=2s

What’s a simile? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H98HGQU1vRY

*Here are some subordinating conjunctions and prepositional phrases you could use as fronted

adverbials:

Before the day begins, Usually, When Since Every day As well as,

In front of Afterwards, Next, Sometimes, Whenever, So that, While, If

Fortunately, As long as Although Unless Until After As long as As soon as

Task 11: Adding amounts of money

You may use a method of your choice to add and subtract these amounts of money, but you MUST use a

method – not just write the answer. There is squared paper at the end of the pack or work neatly in your

book.

Use the entry price list to answer the questions.

1). What is the cost for 1 adult and a 9 year old child to go to the zoo all day?

2). How much would 2 adults and a baby have to pay for entry for the day?

3). How many adults could go to the Zoo for the day for £50?

4). Anna pays for an adult and 2 children with a £20 note, how much change should she get?

5). What are the prices for entry after 3pm?

Adults - £__________

Children - £__________

Families - £__________

Extra Challenge - How much do you save by buying a day family ticket instead of paying separate prices?

Entry Prices

Adult £6.50

Child £2.80 (Under 5s are free)

Family (2 adults + 2 children) £15

Entry after 3pm gives a ½ price

discount.

Task 12: Design a dream zoo enclosure for an animal of your choice

Imagine a famous zoo wants to improve the conditions of its animal residents and they

are asking you to come up with ideas that will make the animals’ lives better! What

factors would you need to think about? Grab a piece of paper and let’s get going!

1. Make a mind map of what is important for an animal’s welfare (health and well-

being). What do they need? What will keep them happy? What might frighten or

upset them?

2. Next choose an animal you are interested in, or perhaps you already know

something about: what kind of natural habitat does it live in; is it diurnal –day or

nocturnal – night; does it prefer warm or cool conditions? What surroundings would

it thrive (do best) in?

3. Now do a bit of research to find out more about your animal’s lifestyle and

remember to make notes of what you discover.

Your task is to design an enclosure for your animal, filled with the kind of things that will

make it feel at home, and draw and label it clearly. It can be a plan, or a picture, as long as

each element or part is explained.

You can add a list of extra features as bullet points below your design – e.g.

Indoor/outdoor/ sleeping area, how many will be housed there, any items to entertain it,

what additional care will the keepers give it, which other animals might share the enclosure

safely, how it will be fed, whether visitors will be allowed into the enclosure and how close?

Etc.

Finally, if you would like an extra challenge, consider this short film about a zoo in China.

Write a list of reasons ‘For and Against’ to say whether you think animals should be kept in

any zoo.

Task 13: Animal Diary

Your task today is to write a diary entry from the point of view of an animal in a zoo, maybe the one you

designed a dream enclosure for yesterday in task 12

It will need to be at least 3 paragraphs long with each paragraph being at least four sentences and each

paragraph should be a different event.

An event can be:

• Feeding time

• Watching the humans watch you

• Playing with other animals in your enclosure

• Describing your enclosure

• Any other event you can think of

You must include:

• Correct spellings

• Capital letters and full stops

• Expanded noun phrases – noisy, smelly humans; bright, hot sun; cool, refreshing water.

• Conjunctions to expand your sentences – when, if, because, although.

• Specific vocabulary choices – Amur tiger rather than tiger. Emerald rather than green.

• Adventurous vocabulary – lounged instead of lay, dazzling instead of bright.

• Prepositions – on, under, below, on top, next to, to the left.

If you are in year four we would also like to see (Year 3 can include these if they want a challenge)

• Possessive apostrophes for singular and plural nouns

• Fronted adverbials with a comma – quickly, slowly, while I was waiting, later that day.

• Expanded noun phrases with prepositional phrases - the tall, human with brown fur

• Figurative language – similes, metaphors, alliteration, onomatopoeia.

• A consistent viewpoint – does your animal like the zoo? What do they think of the humans? This

needs to stay the same throughout the diary entry.

How many of the above can you find in the WAGOLL below?

I was lounging on my rock under the dazzling, hot sun listening to the tinkling of the waterfall as it

cascaded into my swimming pool when I heard my human come to feed me. At first, I heard grinding

when the bolt that held the gate to my feeding area slide back then the rusty, mouse like squeak of

the metal gate as it swung on its old hinges. Slowly, I looked towards the noise waiting for the

outside gate to open because then I could cross my vast, emerald paddock and get my delicious

dinner. I decided to run over to the gate and leap on it. The human’s bucket with my food in crashed

to the ground as they turned to face me with terror painted across their face. When they saw that I

was still outside and a wall of metal fencing still separated us, they smiled widely and laughed.

Now it’s time to write yours. You can choose any zoo animal you like, just remember to include as

many of the items from the checklist as possible.

Task 15: Art – Franz Marc *Upload to Seesaw*

Franz Marc was a famous German painter who lived from 1880-1916. He enjoyed painting animals on bright

and colourful backgrounds. He often painted the animals in unusual colours too.

*Please take a photo of your finished piece and upload it to Seesaw*

We would like you to create your own Franz Marc inspired artwork. Choose an animal and make sure you

have a bright and colourful background. Remember your animal doesn’t have to be its usual colours. You

could use colouring pencils, felt tips, pastels, paint or even collage - whatever you have at home!
