S.T.E.A.M. Art and Design Flower Arranging

This is a  project that will showcase your child’s creativity and imagination. Why not introduce the art of flower arranging? Flowers are bright and beautiful, with so many different characteristics, shapes and scents, your child will be captivated by the experience!

  • Arranging a basket with fresh cuts to spruce up the kitchen.
  • Creating beautiful potted plants to sit on the front porch is a great project for little hands.
  • A heart-felt arrangement made especially for grandma and grandpa.

Here are some websites that give some simple ideas to follow.

Literacy/.ID.L. – Famous Designers and Inventors

Two literacy activities today – all about scientist and inventors.

Task 1:

Famous Designers and Inventors

This is a listening and watching activity. The Powerpoint tells you about different inventors. Watch it through once, then go back to the link for Alexander Graham Bell. The link to the Youtube clip is quite slow to load so be patient.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n_5jG_9fAE

Here is the direct link if the Powerpoint it too slow.

Once you have watched the clip  answer the questions below.

video questions 18th June

Task 2: Thinking, Reasoning and Sharing

I know you really enjoy these kind of tasks! Look at the appliances on the worksheet and put them into the order of importance. Tell an adult your answers and IMPORTANTLY WHY you think this. The good think is could can’t be wrong it is your opinion which you must back up with reasons – “cause I like it” – isn’t a good enough reason.

Perhaps ask an adult to do the task at the same time. Then share your list..do you agree with each other? Did you manage to persuade them with your reasoning or did they change your mind? Again this is good – when we share opinions we listen to other people’s views too. Sometimes we influence them and sometime they inform and get us to change our opinion.

S.T.E.A.M. – Art & Design Cake Makers

We often think sculptures of being made of stone or metal for example the Angel of the North

However art doesn’t have to last for ever..think of the work we did on Andy Goldworthy..

Watch this clip about another type of sculpture cake making.

Perhaps you could decorate your own cakes. Follow the guidelines in the clip. Don’t forget to post photos of your creations in our Teams area and on Twitter if allowed.

Literacy – Synonyms Challenge

Synonyms are words that have similar meanings.

On Monday I put a post with some information and activities. If you have not completed that task go back and complete before trying the challenge.

When writing and talking we use the word said a lot! Your challenge is you have 5 minutes to say all the words you could use instead of said. Ask an adult to work with you for the 5 minutes. Then look at the word mat below. Did you get them all or did you know others not on the mat. How many can you get in 5 minutes.

Said-Synonyms-Word-Mat_

Another word we tend to over use is went! Can you follow the same instructions above for the word went – remember you are saying them not writing them down so you need the adult to listen for 5 minutes! How many did you get?

S.T.E.A.M. – Art & Design

Watch the video clip. This is another STEAM career. Perhaps you would like to be a costume designer for television or movies.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/art-and-design-ks2-costume-design/z4wkbdm

You can create your own mood board by using pictures from magazines, newspapers, catalogues or images from the internet. Some may wish to use scraps of material. Please DO NOT cut up any clothes without asking permission!

Choose your a book or movie character and design a costume for them.

When you have finished the mood board draw a pencil outline of  character and then begin to create the painting of  final costume design.

Master Skill

  • Why are costumes an important part of any film, television or theatre production?
  • How do you think costume designers collect ideas for their designs?
  • Can you describe key features of the costumes? How does this link to your brief?
