The pictures you sent in were great some went exploring on their walks and some hunted around their bedrooms.
You may have to make your own paint, which I found really fun, as I had to be curious and try and make my own colours.
Some of you have already sent in your drawing following the video on the grid, Well Done!
Today we are going to look at identifying the shapes we need ourselves to create a simple shape drawing.
The sway below gives you ideas on how to identify the shapes you need to create an animal.
Most of the examples only use, Squares, Triangles, Rectangles and Circles. By used differently every time we can create and fish and a snake with just a few changes.
Discuss with family why you are using a certain shape as a neck, or arm or elbow rather than another shape. What qualities does that shape have that makes it the best shape to use?
Have great fun and on Wednesday we will extend this further and create some shadow puppets in the grass.
Today we will using our 2D and 3D shape knowledge.
But first lets enjoy some of our favourite shape songs, some you know, some you don’t. I know you will have a favourite. I’ve had one stuck in my head all week!
Enjoy some friendly competition with the family and review your shape fact knowledge.

Something that P2 enjoy creating and are also quite skilful in reading is story maps.
Story maps are a great tool to help us remember tales and identify the most important parts of the story.
Here is a few examples from P2. You can use pictures and key words to help you remember the story.
You can chose to do your own book that you have been reading to your bear or chose one of the featured tales, The Angry Ladybird or What’s the Time.
Remember to share your story maps with your teacher on seesaw or email.

Both teachers returned to their competitive views on each other after Friday’s Big Night In.
Because it was Health Fortnight, they decided to use the Sport Day Grid you will be using at home, and adapt the tasks so that it could relate to a timed event.
Sports Day Stations
Both teachers must complete 4 stations in the shortest amount of time. We set up our stations all within a 5 metre shuttle run with the equipment waiting at the side.
We have….
The Shuttle Run, Star Jumps, Tattie and Spoon and the Shoe Throw.
