This competition is designed to deliver a fun way of learning about all aspects of the RSPCA and applying that learning to design using art techniques while offering an opportunity for children to explain their design in an accompanying letter to be sent along with their entry. The competition closes in September so this could be a lesson plan for the end of the 2013/14 term or the beginning of the 2014/15 term

This lesson explores the fears that some individuals have of spiders by looking at the useful functions that British spiders perform. Activities included. Pupils should learn that there are different kinds of plants and animals in the immediate environment
