Habitat poster prep

Create an A4 poster entitled Where I Live

Don’t write too much, as it is a poster, not a leaflet. A picture might help to catch the eye, especially as yours could be chosen for display.

Write about any animal that lives in Britain. Your information must highlight its habitat (what sort of place it lives in, hunts in; how far it travels), although of course you can include other information as well. For higher marks, show how the animal itself is suited to its habitat, e.g. squirrels have tails which help to give them balance on trees, claws to help them climb, sharp teeth to help them eat the nuts that they find.

Many people will already have books with useful information. I have found a few websites but you may well find others:
BBC (or this one for younger children), Hedgehogs, badgers (advanced), a slideshow (if you have Powerpoint), General links
.

Before handing it in please check: the title is correct, the work is named on the back, the animal is a wild one, and it lives in Britain.
