Home learning – Year Two Wednesday 3rd April

I have asked the children to write an “Animal Riddle”, - stating appropriate facts and “revealing them gradually”. We have written a “riddle” in this style together at school, so they should make sure that they choose a different animal for this “home learning” activity.

Like in this example:

What Am I?

I am about 25cm long.

I build a large leafy nest by a tree or wall.

As an adult I live alone.

I can live in the countryside or the town.

I am usually nocturnal.

The cold is my worst enemy, then it’s motor cars.

Animals don’t harm me.

I eat snails, earthworms and insects.

I hibernate so I eat a lot in Autumn.

I am often covered in fleas.

To protect myself I roll into a prickly ball.
