Please choose one endangered animal and find answers to these questions. You will then have to present your findings in a PowerPoint.

  1. What does endangered mean?
  2. How many of your animal are alive in the wild or in captivity?
  3. What is your animal’s main habitat?
  4. What are the main predators of your animal?
  5. What is the lifespan of your animal?
  6. Can you find out the reasons why your animal is endangered?
  7. Can you find out what is being done to preserve it? Which are the main organisations working on this?

Here are a range of websites that Mrs Robinson has found for you. If you click on the link, it will open in a new window.

The Dixie Grammar School

Welcome to the new Library Online website for The Dixie Grammar School. Your new Librarian, who started on the 1st September, is Mrs Anne M Robinson. I am a Chartered Librarian, really experienced in running school libraries.

I am going to use this site for a range of things:

  • To track the development of the Library during its transformation over the coming years.
  • To give the staff and students of the school a taste of what a Chartered Librarian can do – explore the site as it develops to find lots of help!
  • To create useful advice on how to research – look at the Subject Links pages.
  • To talk about books and reading – tell me what you like to read so that we can make the Library relevant to you.
