Thank you all so much for supporting your child to make a biome. There still is time to do this. The information is below. If your child didn't write a letter to go with these then it would be great to have this. This is a competition run by zoolab, I have already sent pictures of the biomes and letters but would love to have letters for all of these. The children spent some time yesterday explaining about their Biomes with the class.
We are going to be entering a competition and we need your help! We’d like you to make your own Biome in a box and write a letter to go with your biome to explain why it needs to be protected. For example you might build a rainforest or an underwater scene.
What is a Biome?
A biome is a geographical region containing various ecosystems. Crafting a biome in a box allows pupils to delve into the complex ecosystems found in forests, freshwater environments, marine settings, grasslands, tundras, or deserts.
Building your biome box
It's time to get creative with your Biome Bo
x using various eco-friendly and easily accessible materials. Pupils should be encouraged to look for items around their house and at school that can be repurposed, such as cardboard, paper, and plastic bottles and incorporate natural elements such as twigs, leaves, stones, and soil.
Let the imagination run wild as you transform these simple materials into vibrant landscapes bursting with life. Whether you're crafting lush rainforests, arid deserts, or icy tundras, the possibilities are endless, mirroring the diversity of the natural world.
Please submit pupil letters alongside entries to ZooLab's Climate Crusader team explaining why they have chosen their biome and why protecting it for the planet is essential.We have no maximum size requirement on the Biome Builders entry, however we do ask that it is at a minimum the size of a cereal box.
