Half Term Project Details and Homework Ideas

Project homework is due Friday 7th February 2025.

The new projects run for the first half of the Spring term. 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.

• Find out about animals that inhabit a mountainous area of the world. How do they adapt and survive? Are any of these animals endangered? Why?

• Create fact-files about famous mountaineers such as George Mallory, Sir Edmund Hilary or Reinhold Messner.
• Research mountain sports such as skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing or mountain biking. Choose one that excites you and create a scrapbook of information and images. Feature the equipment or clothing needed and the world’s best competitors in the sport.
• Write a ‘True or False?’ quiz which includes amazing statements about mountains of the world.
• Write a ‘water cycle’ song or a rap! Make sure you fit in the key words, like condensation, precipitation and evaporation.

• Write a diary entry for a child living in a mountainous region of the world. What happens in their daily life? How would their day differ from your own?
• Draw a map showing the major mountain regions of the world! Can you annotate key facts about their size? 
• Conduct a science experiment about the states of matter. Can you turn a liquid into a solid or gas? How long does it take?
