Good morning everyone, it is nice to welcome you back. Unfortunately it is not under the circumstances we had wished but I am still glad to be offering you fun and exciting experiences!
Today, I thought I could create tasks based on something we would have spoken about upon our return. I hope you enjoy the tasks and I cannot wait to see all your hard work and efforts!
Task 1:-
I would like you to make me a picture using any resources or materials you have handy to show me your favourite Christmas memory and/or present.
Task 2:-
After completing your picture, I would like you to create your own story based on what you have done in your picture.
Parents/carers, whilst getting your child to create their story, here are some questions to help prompt them:
Who- who is in the picture?
What- what is in the picture? what are they doing?
Where- where were you within the picture?
Why- why is that your favourite memory/present?
How- how were you feeling? how did this memory/present make you feel?
Also, try and encourage your child to section their story and use story telling language such as in the beginning, in the middle, at the end etc.
Task 3:-
Now your picture and story is completed, I would like you to send it to my email which is posted below. To make it more fun, why don’t you ask your adult for permission to use their phone, tablet etc to take a picture of your picture and story or even make your own video showing me your picture and telling me your story!
