Art/ Craft I have put some ideas together for penguin craft ideas (I really like the no sew penguins on the last page). Have a go at making some sort of penguin craft. You could copy the ideas I have given or research your own. Think about what you have available at home before you decide. Magazines, junk mail, TV guides, food packaging, old clothes are all good sources of craft materials. We are going to make sock penguins in school.
Remember to send pictures or post them yourself on the blog. |
PE – Golf
We enjoyed playing this so much last week that we are going to play again. This week we are going to use tennis rackets and balls instead. At home you could set up thing to hit or knock over with a ball, try setting up obstacles that you need to get the ball over, under or through or just have a kick about. Failing that just be active in your own way, play on a bike, scooter or whatever you feel like. |
Science – Melting Ice
What do you think is the quickest way to melt an ice cube? Decide what things you will use. Decide how you will carry out your experiment.
I have included a template to give you some ideas. You don’t need to use it but can if you want to. |
