Habits of Mind - Thinking Flexibly - Twisted Fairy Tales.

As part of our Habits of Mind studies we have been writing some 'Twisted Fairy Tales'

They have helped us to think flexibly. (Look as things another way - Consider different options.)

I hope you enjoy reading them.

Zoo Trip - Enclosures

Hi Kea Class,

Your task is to comment on our Zoo trip.

We are focusing on animal enclosures.

1/ Name the animal you plan to design an enclosure for.

2/ Explain in detail an enclosure you saw at the Wellington Zoo (This can be an enclosure for any animal)

Remember to include any 'enrichment' activities you might have seen.

3/ Explain your ideas for an enclosure design

Questions to consider:

What does the animal need to survive?

Any special features?

Food and Water dishes?

Toys?

Comfort?

Shelter?

What animals can live happily together?

What materials will the enclosure be made of?

What features does your enclosure have to stop the animals escaping?

Good Luck,

Mr Douglas.
