Hello parents, carers and pupils,
As promised at our last class meeting, we are continuing with themed activities and as the children have requested, we have chosen ‘Superheroes’ this week! So just like last week all the learning activities are based on superheroes! Thank you to everyone who has been communicating with us via Glow email, Twitter and MS Teams. Please remember this is only a guide and our message is to do what you can, when you can. There is no expectation to complete all the activities as we are fully aware that everybody’s circumstances are different during these challenging times.

Superheroes – Art Activity

Pretend you are a new superhero. Design your own superhero outfit. Think of all the different things you might need to help you with your superpowers. There are some ideas jotted below to help you become more inspired!

Does it have a cape, a mask, a helmet, boots or gloves?
What are the main colours going to be?
Do you have a logo – like the bat symbol for Batman or the S for Superman?

Does it do anything special, like can it put a force field around you? Or does it give you the ability to breathe underwater? Can it detect bad guys for up to a mile around you? Can it shoot lasers? Is it resistant to fire, bullets and explosions? Will it help you heal at three times your natural speed of healing?

Superheroes – Writing Task
This week we would like you to write a newspaper interview. First choose a superhero that you know well. It can be any superhero of your choice. Try to set out your piece of writing like a newspaper with a headline. Answer the following questions to help you write your newspaper article (remember to be as imaginative as you like):

• Who is the super hero and where is he or she from?
• What is his or her super power(s)?
• Where does he or she live?
Possible Questions to ask your Superhero
• What is your favourite food?
• What has been the most daring rescue you have taken part in?
• What do you like to do in your spare time?

Superhero Health and Wellbeing

A hero is characterized as ‘a person who, in the opinion of others, has special achievements, abilities, or personal qualities and is regarded as a role model’ – Oxford Dictionary. This week we would like you to think about heroes in your family and local community. What makes them heroic in your eyes? What are their personal qualities and skills? We would also like you to think about your own special qualities and skills that make you special.  Select at least one activity to complete from the attached Superhero Health and Wellbeing grid.

Every child has the right to meet with other children and to join groups and organisations, as long as this does not stop other people from enjoying their rights.

Select one of the following activities to complete:
