L.O: To gather ideas to plan writing

Creature Care Designer

The egg has finally hatched. What creature is inside - and what will it need to survive?

Draw your creature in the centre of a page and add labelled notes around it:

• Name of creature

• Where it lives

• What it eats and drinks

• What their home needs to be like

• How it stays safe

• One unusual or magical feature

• A danger or problem to avoid

The key is to make it imaginative but believable. 

Your creature may have one or two creative features, but its care needs must make sense.

For example:

Name: Frostwing Fox
Home: A cool, shady den with dry moss
Food: Berries, insects and small pieces of fish
Special feature: Its tail glows softly at night
Warning: Keep it away from hot places because its fur overheats easily.

Think about what people may need instructions for when handling the mysterious creature that has hatched out of the egg!
