What Is Deforestation For Kids: Information And Facts
Deforestation is the removal of a forest so that the land on which it stood may be put to another use. Deforestation occurs for a number of reasons (see below), the most common being the conversion of the once-forested land into farmland, either for growing crops or for keeping livestock.

In preparation for our leaflet, I would like you to write 3 paragraphs telling me all about deforestation.
Your writing should answer the questions below.
What is it?
Who is to blame?
Where does it happen?
Why does it happen?
What are the effects of it?
Use formal language to state the facts. Imagine you are telling someone from a lower year group all about this, so it must be easy to understand, don't just copy out the facts, put them into your own words.
Maths
I would like you to complete the 15 questions above.
Things to remember:
Place value
Decimal points
Multiplying by 10, 100, 1000 (how many place value jumps will your number take?)
I will email the answer later today on Purple Mash so you can mark your own work.
Art
In your pack I included a task which involved producing a piece of art with you favourite things to do on.
This can include your favourite sport, game, TV programme, walk, subject, song, exercise, film, absolutely anything.
You write it in fancy writing and then draw a picture to represent it. Keep your drawing small so you can fit lots of different things on.
Have a look in your pack for the two examples I included. Make it bright and exciting, and most of all something that represents you!
Have fun with this, I would love to see the completed pieces! Maybe we could make a display when we return?
PE
Lastly, see if you can beat your high score from Friday!
Enjoy everyone!
