Hello everyone.  Hope you all had some time to relax over the holidays!

Remember Earth Hour on the 28th March? Well, this week Earth Day is celebrated around the world on Wednesday 22^nd April!

The theme this year is “Climate Action” – this was in the news a lot last year mainly thanks to a teenager called Greta Thunberg from Sweden.

Here are some ideas to help you celebrate Earth Day at home:

• Make an acrostic poem using the words – EARTH DAY.

You can try to come up with some other words which begin with these letters or make up some different sentences.

• Create your own Earth collage using old magazines or tissue paper.
• Draw and colour in Earth yourself.
• You can add the handprints if you like to symbolise that we are looking after the Earth.

Use a paper plate for the circle shape or borrow a plate from your kitchen.

Challenge:

Enter the Pinewood School Cake Competition with a design based around Earth Day!!

(I might just have to give it a go myself now!)                     

Good Luck

Daleks are multi coloured. Colour yours in when you have drawn it.

Ok everyone, a quick revisit of a Winnie the Pooh drawing lesson.

Have a look at Kai’s animation, isn’t it great!? This was made in Flipaclip, an App you can use to create stories and films. This is only short but yours could be as long a you like. You can then save it and open iMovies  (or any other movie app) to add sound. It works like drawing on a many pages of a sketch book and then flipping them to create a moving image. Let me know if you manage to create anything and we’ll put it on the blog. Well done, Kai.
