English I’ve had a big problem this week – Ginny (my pet cat) has caught and brought into my house 3 mice on three nights!!!! (See the pictures below.) I have found it incredibly difficult to catch them as they are ridiculously quick and evasive.

I NEED YOUR HELP. The video link attached could give you a few ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac2HFRcGZk4

I have one rule – no animals are hurt! Deal? Design and create a warning

poster for mice.

As Ginny is always going out looking for mice, we can help them by creating a poster to warn them. On your poster you could have:

- A picture of Ginny - Exclamation sentences - A description of Ginny - Simple steps on what

to do if you spot Ginny.

- Make it big, bold and bright.

Watch the video When Ginny catches a mouse, see always brings it back into the house to play with. It takes me a long time to catch it. Using the video link above as inspiration, use the sheet below to design and label an elaborate mouse trap to use in my house. It can be as mad as you like but it must not hurt any animals. Could Wallace and Gromit help you too? https://www.wallaceandgromit.com/films/cracking-contraptions

Design sheet

What will you need to make your trap?

Tools? Materials? Time? An adult?

Create a list of requirements for what you’ll need to make your

trap. Add this to your design sheet with idea of how you would make your trap.

If you have all of them, try and make it. YOU DON’T HAVE TO but it would be cool to see. J

Instructions What are instructions? How do we use them? What do we need to include in them to create an effective set of instructions? https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-l-52182-y2-instructions-example-text https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-c-7829-writing-instructions-powerpoint https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/au-l-53259-year-2-instructions-checklist Using the link above, find out what are instructions and how to create them.

Instructions 2

Using your newfound knowledge from instructions from the previous day, write your own instructions on how to build your mouse trap so I can create it at home. Make sure you read through carefully to check that they all work. Could you send them to a friend for them to make your trap. Have fun too.
