Work on your World Book Day – challenges or activities.

 

This week’s afternoon tasks are linked to World Book Day and the book we are looking at this week: Here We Are – Notes for Living on Planet Earth by Oliver Jefferies.

Your task this week is to produce your book akin (similar) to ‘Here We Are – Notes for Living on Planet Earth’. As you have learnt, the inspiration for this book was the birth of his first child. He wanted to explain ‘our world’ to him.

Your task is to write your own book Here We Are on Mars – Notes for Living on Planet Mars

This task will take a week to complete so pleases end me in your book by the end of the week.

You have a choice, you can either write:

1. A factual book (non-fiction): giving accurate information on Mars – and using this evidence try to predict what animals might have lived there.
2. Or alternative ‘make it up’ (fictional): invent the planet Mars and invent the ‘aliens’ that live on it.

What ever your choice you should look to write a short book similar in structure to ‘Here We Are’ aiming to explain ‘Notes for Living on  Planet Mars’ to a child.

Success Criteria

• Short sentences
• Pictures / diagrams to help explain
• Details on what the planet looks like – what covers the planet
• Details on who lives on the planet (and what they look like, outside and inside!)
• Other things to consider in your book: how ‘things’ travel, how ‘things’ interact with each other, how ‘things’ look after each other and their planet
• Any other information you consider relevant to your guide

In real life, a spaceship sent from NASA in America has recently landed on Mars (landed on the 18th February). Check out this site to find out more details.
