# data[].attributes.body
Creation of an Animal Habitat Using Recycled Materials

Students explore how living things depend on their environment by researching one chosen habitat (forest, desert, ocean, tundra, rainforest, grassland...) and identifying the animals and environmental features that belong there. In small groups, they plan and build a 3D model of this habitat using recycled materials such as cardboard, paper rolls, bottles, fabric scraps, and natural items.

The process includes:

1. Selecting a habitat and animals that naturally live there.

2. Planning the model (background, landforms, plants, water sources).

3. Building the habitat using recycled and repurposed materials.

4. Adding animals (cutouts, clay, cardboard models).

5. Explaining how their habitat meets the animals’ needs (food, water, shelter, space).

Final outcome: a group 3D habitat demonstrating understanding of interdependence between animals and their environment.

ATL Skills

Thinking Skills

Applying prior knowledge about habitats and living things.

Identifying cause-and-effect relationships

Research Skills

Theme 3 : Natural world - Patterns ( How we express ourselves )

# data[].attributes.body
We explore patterns found in animals and in nature.
We observe animal patterns such as stripes, spots and scales.
We use these patterns to design and create a fantasy animal ( sketch + clay )
We express ideas by combining different animal pattern techniques.
We look for natural patterns in plants, shells and textures.
We create Zentangle-inspired art using repeated lines, shapes and patterns.
We use art to express creativity, imagination and personal ideas.

Key Concepts

Form: We explore what patterns look like in animals and nature.

Connection: We discover how patterns in nature inspire our own ideas and artworks.

Creativity: We use patterns to invent, imagine and express ourselves in new ways.

Learner Profile

Inquirers: We ask questions and look closely at natural and animal patterns.

Creators: We design fantasy animals and original pattern artworks.

Risk-takers: We try new patterns, ideas and drawing techniques with confidence.

Approaches to Learning (ATL)

Observation: We look carefully at details, shapes and repeated patterns in nature.

Creative Thinking: We combine patterns and ideas to create imaginative artworks.

Fine Motor Skills: We control our hands and tools through detailed drawing and Zentangle art.
