Can you write instructions or explain to someone in your family how to make a cheese sandwich? Below are some pictures to help you decide which order to do things in.

 

Maths – Recognise and Name 3D shapes

Today we are learning to recognise and name some 3D shapes.

Watch the video below:

Once you have watched the video, see how many different 3D shapes you can spot in your home and the surrounding area. Can you remember what they are called? Which 3D shape did you find the most of? Don’t forget to tell Mrs Pring and the Willow Class adults about your 3D shape hunt once you are back at school.

 

Art - Pointillism

In class, we have been learning about Georges Seurat’s style of painting, pointillism, where dots of colour are used to make pictures rather than long brush strokes. Watch the video below to find out more:

Can you create your own artwork using dots of colour? You could use coloured pencils, chalk or felt tip pens.
