Connected Learning: Can I evaluate?
Today you will evaluate your zoo enclosure design/ model. This means you will say how good it is and if it fits with your success criteria.
You can choose to evaluate your own design or you can speak to a classmate and evaluate their design for them. You will probably need to video call to talk about this and you might need to go into their Google Docs folder to see what they have done.

Challenge: Copy your own success criteria or the criteria of your classmate and highlight in pink or green what they did.
EXTRA CHALLENGE 1 (Literacy link): Imagine that you are the animal seeing one of these new enclosures for the first time. Write a letter of “thank-you” to the designer and explain what you like about your new home and say if there is anything else you would like to have.
EXTRA CHALLENGE 2 (Drama): Imagine that you are the animal being allowed into your new enclosure for the first time. Act out being the animal and going into your enclosure, then go to the camera and say thank you for all the great features your enclosure has, say what they are for and say if there is anything else you would like to have.

Guided Reading
Today is our final session using our Zookeeper text.
Complete some of these tasks by yourself about the Wolfram text you have been reading and post your learning in your Google Doc.
Before you complete the tasks make sure you listen/read the chapter one more time!
Wolfram Robard let out a cavernous yawn, stretched his arms high over his head and sat up in his small, cosy bed. He’d been a junior keeper at the Magical Menagerie Zoo for what felt like forever, but even so he could never get used to getting up so early. But get up early he must, because he had to feed all the fantastic creatures that were in his care.
Just cooking the thirty-eight whole chickens that the driglenox would eat every morning took Wolfram a full hour. It then took him another half an hour to feed the chickens one at a time to the driglenox through the tiny hole in the driglenox enclosure, all the while being very careful to keep his hands out of the way of the greedy beast’s razor sharp teeth and claws. Once, a few weeks ago, Wolfram hadn’t been paying attention and before he knew what was happening the driglenox had accidentally bitten off his little finger and wolfed it down in one gulp! Embarrassed and in a lot of pain, Wolfram had sprinted straight to old Senior Keeper Merbun for help. Merbun had spent a full minute laughing cruelly at the poor boy before using his keeper magic to grow Wolfram a new finger...
Not only did Wolfram have the huge driglenox to feed, he also had to melt down five kilograms of pure iron to make a metal smoothie for the lava-foxes to drink. And just yesterday Wolfram had tripped a little when carrying the pan of boiling iron over to the lava-foxes and unfortunately one tiny drop of the scorching liquid had landed on his boot... He’d managed to wriggle his foot out of the way before the iron had made it through the tough leather of his shoe, but now he had a boot with a hole burned all the way through it!
If Senior Keeper Merbun saw it, then Wolfram knew he would be in BIG trouble for damaging his uniform and for being careless. Oh well, at least the lava-foxes were cute and didn’t try and eat Wolfram as he fed them like the driglenox did...
Finally, after the driglenox and the lava-foxes, Wolfram would stop by and see the mother and baby floop he looked after and sing a song for them to eat for their breakfast. Yes, that’s right, even though they were the size of a house, floops only ate songs. That was maybe the hardest part of Wolfram’s morning, because he had to think up a new song every day, since everybody knew that floops would also never eat the same song twice! Wolfram was embarrassed about his singing, so he really didn’t enjoy having to stand next to the floop enclosure and belt out a Taylor Swift song at thet op of his voice first thing in the morning! But every day, Wolfram did what he had to do. He did his duty. And he hummed happily the entire time.
Why?
Because one day, one magical day, Wolfram knew he would get promoted and become a senior keeper. But, for now, he had to get through another morning of back-breaking work. Sighing, Wolfram got out of his warm bed and slipped on his keeper uniform, including one boot with a hole burned all the way through it...
