Make Symmetrical Moth Art <\/strong>CfE\u00a0 Es and Os\u00a0 MNU 0-19a<\/p>\n

We all remember making butterfly pictures.\u00a0 Why not try making night time moth pictures instead?\u00a0 Both butterflies \u00a0and moths have markings on their wings that match \u2013 the wings and the markings are symmetrical.\u00a0 Watch the BBC Bitesize video clip for an explanation of reflection or mirror symmetry.<\/p>\n

BBC Bitesize Video Symmetry<\/a><\/p>\n

Moths try to hide during the day so their colours need to blend in with the trees and bushes they rest on.\u00a0 Most of them have markings that are less colourful but just as interesting as butterfly markings if you take time to look.<\/p>\n

WW Night Time Moth Detective<\/a> will give you ideas for your moth art and help you name any moths you are lucky enough to spot outdoors.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

To make your pictures \u00a0use \u00a0whatever materials you have available \u2013 paints, pencils, scrap paper, material from the recycling bin or natural materials (twigs, leaves etc) you have gathered on your daily walk or from the garden.\u00a0 You don\u2019t need to glue anything down to preserve your picture, take a photograph if you can.<\/p>\n

Make\u00a0 A Timetable of Your Day and Compare it With Plop’s\u00a0 <\/strong>CfE\u00a0 Es and Os\u00a0 MNU 0-10a, 1-10a<\/p>\n

Make a timetable showing what you do on a school day or a day when you are not at school. Make one for Plop\u2019s day.<\/p>\n

What is the same? What is different?<\/p>\n

Your timetable can look like a list of activities (sleeping, eating, playing\u2026) next to a list of times.\u00a0 Take a look at the My Day and Plop’s Day Timetables<\/a> for some ideas about layout.<\/p>\n

Litter\/Recycling Maths\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

CfE\u00a0 Es and Os\u00a0 MNU 0-20b, 1-20b<\/p>\n

Organise your recycling materials.\u00a0 Sort the materials<\/strong> into categories \u2013 plastics, paper, metal.. Can you and your child explain reasons for your decisions about what belongs in what group.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, invent your own categories \u2013 this could be by colour, what was in the packaging \u2026 It\u2019s up to you so long as you can explain why each item belongs in its group.<\/p>\n

CfE\u00a0 Es and Os\u00a0 MNU 0-11a<\/p>\n

Measure <\/strong>your recycling materials (no need for scales or rulers!) \u2013 What is the heaviest? What is the lightest? What is the longest\/shortest piece recycling?<\/p>\n
