Story Setting Task

Good morning Primary 2. I hope you had a good day yesterday. Today we are going to look at story setting. Before school was closed, we were learning about story setting and how some authors use a story setting to start a story.

Remember a story setting is where the story takes place.

Challenge 1: Look at the pictures below and think of some adjectives to describe them (Remember think about your senses. What do you see? If you stepped into the picture, what could you hear, feel?)

Challenge 2: Pick one of the pictures and draw it in your jotter. Can you write a story setting description using lots of adjectives. Remember to write in sentences using full stops, capital letters and finger spaces. Here are some sentence starters to help you:

One __________ day in a _________ land there stood a _______.

Once up on a time in a ________ land there was a _________.

It was _______ and _______.

There were ____________ 

It felt ___________.

Adjectives to help you: tiny, huge, massive, dry, dusty, magical, enchanted, old, rough, dirty, shiny, rusty, cute, sparkling, clear, golden, beautiful, fun, busy, quiet, loud, howling, creepy, creaky, dark, bright, sunny.

Challenge 3: Read your story setting description out to someone. Now can you come up with a character who lives in your story setting. Draw them and make up a name for them.

Art Lesson – Still Life (Flower Challenge)

(Your task is at the bottom of this post)

What is Still Life?

Still life is simply a painting or drawing of objects. It is different from other forms of work in the sense that it cannot move (unlike a figure or a portrait) and is close to you (unlike a landscape).

When you paint or draw a still life, you will see things your own way. One person might be fascinated by detail, another might notice the shapes more and another person might be more interested in the colours.

Some artists famous for their still life work include, Vincent Van Gogh, Georgia O’Keefe, Henri Matisse and Paul Cezanne.

CHALLENGE 1:

Look at these pictures below. Choose 1 photo and draw/ sketch what you see. Look at the shapes, detail and colours. Take your time. 

Challenge 2: Look around your home and gather some objects to create your own still life. Draw or paint it. We would love to see your creations. Tag us on the school facebook page @WBurghP with caption #P2stilllife

Once you’ve watched the video clip and had ago of spelling number words, play the online game Blast Off Spelling (click on the image below).

Friday Fun Spelling

 Challenge: Remember our sounds this week are a_e and wh. Think of some words and write them down. You can use paint, chalk, playdoh to make the words or even lego, be creative. In class we do rainbow spelling, where we write our words in one colour and again on top of it with another colour, try it at home too! Another activity could be to write your words in chalk and then use a wet paintbrush (dipped in water) to go over the words. Get a plate or tray of shaving foam and use your finger to spell the words out! There’s lots of fun ways to practise your spelling, see the pictures below to give you some ideas!
Read the words below to help you if you can’t think of any.

Happy Friday!

Good morning Primary 2 and a very happy Friday to you all! We’ve made it through our first week of home learning and Miss Rai, Mrs Cheshire and Mr White are proud of you all for working hard!
