Half Term Project Details and Homework Ideas  

The Spring 2 half-term project is: Beast Creator

The new projects run for the second half of the Spring term, Monday 23rd February to Friday 27th March. Projects are due by Friday 20th March. Homework contributions can be made throughout the half term, please make sure your child brings in something that they have worked on at home.  

Below are a list of ideas for each project, try one of these or something else project related.

  • If you could be an insect for a day, what kind would you be? Why? Where would you live? How safe would you be from predators?
  • Make a bug’s-eye plan of your classroom or bedroom. How would things look from high up there on the wall?
  • Read the novel Charlotte’s Web, then write a book review to share with your friends. Is it a good read? Would you recommend it?
  • Find out which flowers and herbs attract minibeasts. Plant a bulb or seed in a pot or planter and see who comes to visit.
  • Go on a bug hunt in a local park or woodland. What will you find? Can you photograph it?
  • Make a comparison between two minibeasts. How are they similar? How are they different?
  • Visit a local museum or nature centre to find out more about minibeasts and bugs. Make your own sketchbook and record any information you can gather.
  • Use dough or clay to make a replica of your favourite minibeast. Bring it in to school to share with others.
  • Make a minibeast glossary to explain all the specialist vocabulary associated with this topic.
  • Use poster paints to design a beautiful and symmetrical design for a butterfly’s wings. Can you transfer your design to a computer?
