Weekly Wider Curriculum Tasks

History - This week I would like you to use all the information you have gathered about your family to create your own family tree.  This can be done in any format you choose, you could include photographs, illustrations or writing. it could be hand written or done on the computer. Be as creative as you can. Here are some idea's I've seen on-line.

Science -  As we have moved further into Lockdown wildlife have been returning closer to the places we live. This week I would like to focus on Garden birds.

My boys used to be members of the RSPB when they were younger and used to take part in the annual bird count.  Our family love sitting in the garden listening to birds. I found this fantastic website that teaches you each bird song. 

Have a listen I am sure you will recognise some.

Here is the link to this sheet if you want to print it out.

How about making a simple Bird feeder for your garden.

Art  For art this week I would like you to do create a portrait in the style of Pablo Picasso.

Here's a video from BBC Bitesize explaining more.

Aire Class Ongoing Task 

While we are in Lock down it would be a lovely idea to create a Time capsule containing memories of our special time spent with our families. This would be an ongoing project for the whole family. 

Be as creative as you can be!

Here is a link to an handy article about how to make a Covid19 Time capsule with your child. 

This link takes you to a booklet your child can complete to capture their memories.

There is also a link for parents to complete their own booklet as well!
