The main PE lesson this week is to take part in Sports Hall Athletics at home.

See separate document for the home vertical jump scale and the excel document to record

your scores. Parents, it is wise to read all of this information before the lesson. Obviously, you don’t have to submit your results, however I know how many competitive families we have and thought you would like the opportunity. How to do this is written on the documents and also the you

tube page that it refers to. Let the games begin

Art Week 3 – Developing Observational Skills for Art

(All weblinks are shared with the expectation of parental supervision.)

What you need:

A viewfinder

Drawing paper

Drawing materials eg pencil, crayons, felt tips, black pen

And/or painting materials

And/or modelling material eg Plasticine, Playdoh, Fimo etc

Optional: Access to a camera, magnifying glass.

Making a viewfinder:

Use a piece of plain card – recycled cereal box or packaging

Place a smaller square object in the middle of the card.

Draw around the smaller square.

Cut out the small square leaving at least 2cms at the edge so you can hold the card!

Challenge Possibilities:

Challenge 1: Draw the parts and then the single flower, plant or insect.

Challenge 2: Draw a group of the same flower, plant or insect in different positions or in a pot, jug etc.

Challenge 3: Draw 2 or more different types of flowers as above.

Challenge 4: Create a still life picture using ideas from Tracy Elphick.

Challenge 5: Recreate the flower, paint or insect in modelling materials.

Challenge 6: Explore recreating your drawing using Zentangles

Flowers

With your parents’ permission pick a flower eg daffodil, muscari, daisy, primrose, tulips etc.

Use the viewfinder to look at the different parts or sections of the flower.

Take the flower apart carefully and lay out all the parts of the flower.

Draw the parts of the flower using the viewfinder.

Draw the flower in its natural setting or in a container eg jug, bottle, vase.

Add your own background – natural or fantasy.

Plants

Use the viewfinder to look at parts of the plant.

Draw parts of the plant in close-up detail.

You could use crayons, paint or plasticine to recreate the plant.

Think about plants with strong outline shapes eg palm, cactus etc.

Insects

You could take a close up photograph of the insect so it can be released quickly back to its natural habitat!

If you are not taking a photo, you could make a mini viewfinder to look at the different parts!

For more ideas on zentangles, with your parents’ supervision, you could look at this school website:

• as a photo of the objects to be included • a labelled picture of the objects to be included • a film recording: including an explanation of the objects included

Challenge for everyone: decide what you would include in a time capsule to show people in the future what it is like to live as a child in 2020. You can have a maximum of 15 items. Remember to think carefully about what people in the future might be interested in knowing about.
