Community Project Planning

Read the scenario, then answer the questions. For planning questions, there can be more than one sensible answer.

The observatory welcome day

Mason, Matilda and Charlie are helping at a volcano observatory welcome day. Visitors will learn how scientists watch a volcano safely. The team notices that some visitors cannot easily read the small signs, and a few paper cups have been left near the path. They want to plan a helpful community project. They can ask an adult observatory worker for permission and support.

1.Choose the best answer: A community project is…

People working together to help their community
One person choosing what everyone must do
A task that helps nobody

2.Name two things the team noticed that could be improved at the welcome day.

3.Which idea would help with the small-sign problem?

Make larger, easy-to-read signs with an adult's help
Hide the signs
Ask visitors not to look at the signs

4.True or false: The children should pick up every cup they find, even if it is beside a restricted area or looks unsafe.

TrueFalse

5.Match each team job to the task that fits it.

Materials organiser

Checks that large paper and markers are ready
Checks the permitted area for litter with an adult
Creates clear, easy-to-read signs

6.The team decides to make larger signs. Write two materials they might need.

7.Matilda has an idea, but Charlie is speaking. What is a respectful thing Mason could do?

8.Before making signs or picking up litter, who should the team speak to, and why?

9.Rain is forecast for the project day. Give one sensible way the team could adapt its plan.

10.Plan one helpful project for the observatory welcome day. Draw or write what the team will do, what it needs, and how it will help visitors or the community.
