Topic

This week we will be having lots of creative fun!

We will choose our favourite rainforest creature and sketch it using simple step by step instructions and simple shapes, building up the detail as we go.

We will then paint our animals using small brushes and bold rainforest colours.

We will investigate different brush strokes in order to create different textures.

 

Maths

This week we will solve some fun problems by using our length measuring skills.

 

Things to try at home:

Use non standard measures to estimate and measure distances and objects.

e.g. How many shoe lengths is it from the front door to the stairs?

How many pens do you need to match the length of the table?

If you have a ruler or tape measure, you could try measuring things more accurately.

 

P.S.H.E

We will be investigating the role of exercise on our health and well being and will relate this to sports day.

 

Spellings

Please look through your spelling books.

Play games like hangman and noughts and crosses to practise tricky words.
