Tuesday - Get Outdoors
2021-02-02
All children will need to wrap up warm and get outdoors today!
A pre-recorded video from Mrs Luxon will be uploaded, to show how to make a frozen ornament
A pre-recorded lesson from Miss Chauhan will be uploaded, to show how to sketch a drawing

Your job

The task today is for all children to go outside and complete the following:

Early Years – you will have to go and find the rocks which have been hidden around the estate – please do NOT pick them up, instead just take photos of them hidden.
KS1 – you will go on an adventure to find any loose parts, these can be stones, leaves, wild flowers, anything!
KS2 – you will need to go on a hunt to see how many jigsaw puzzle pieces you can see in the windows.

When on your walk to find the rocks / loose parts / jigsaw pieces, a photo needs to be taken of something outdoors, that the children can then draw when they get back home. The video from Miss Chauhan will help with this.
