Week 3 (17th May) Learning Map tasks
This week your aim is to create something to show what you have learnt about the water cycle. Your finished piece of work will be displayed for your parents to see on Thursday at our parent/teacher conference and our Showcase at the end of the term.
You will have three options to choose from, but if you finish one to a really high standard, you can choose another one. It's up to how well you work independently (it's all down to your STUDENT AGENCY) so make sure you choose wisely.
