New Animal Enclosure Needed!

The Australian Zoo is moving to a new location. The

Zookeepers have got lots to do so they need your help
to design new animal enclosures for the Australian
animals who live there. Would you be able to help?

You will be given 5days to work on it.
By the 5th lesson your design should
be completed.
When finished we will present our
designs to the class in a showcase.
Place your enclosure on your desk
along with anything else you would
like to include in your display.
Your task is to Choose an Australian animal, an create a new
enclosure that will cate for all the animals needs.
Things to consider:
- What does it’s natural habitat look like?
- How much space do they need?
- What do they eat and drink?
- Where will they sleep and rest?
You must use a carboard box, some natural materials and label all
your elements. You may use any craft resources that are in the
classroom or art room.

May include other things such as information sheets or a list of other animals that
could be suited to live there – not compulsory but if you finish early you may work
on other elements
