This project will develop the learners' understanding of the
wildlife that exists within their local environment. Pupils will
begin by learning about urban wildlife through teacher-led class
discussion and continue with further research on the topic (via the
internet, books, business links, school trips etc), collating their
knowledge in order to produce a multi-media display which can be
demonstrated at a school assembly/parents' night/community
event.
Broad Outcomes of learning
• Subject knowledge of local wildlife and environment gained and
enhanced
• Employability skills enhanced - application of knowledge in a
real situation by research, discussion, group work, ICT, planning,

• Confidence of working independently from teacher-led lessons
demonstrated by independent working and group work
• Pupils take responsibility for their learning through making
decisions about what to research, what to write about, what work is
included in the display, what content the display will contain,
what media form the display will take
