Take Notice

 

Notice changes in the weather during each day and across the week. Make a weather chart with the days of the week down one side and space for pics and writing alongside.

 

If you have access to grass you could separate a section of grass to become like meadow. Put a ‘Please do not cut this grass’ label on the grass and observe it closely over the coming weeks. Compare it to the grass which is kept short. What do you notice?

 

You could cover a piece of grass with a stone (imagining it to be from the Troll’s river!). Move the rock at the end of the week. Compare it with the grass which has not been covered. What do you notice? Can you offer an explanation?

 

Look closely at pictures of trolls noticing the detail of features such as hair, teeth, eyes, hands, feet etc. features. Think of adjectives to describe each feature eg. mouldy teeth. Draw a troll of your own deciding on how each main feature will look. Use adjectives to describe the features.
