Maths

Four people did both of the Area tasks yesterday so I have assigned them a challenge – you should find it in the usual place. If you did one of the tasks – that’s great and today you need to do the other please.

If you didn’t do any area work yesterday – for whatever reason, that’s ok please do them today if you can. Here are the links again

Art

From the animals that you chose to write about yesterday, choose one and find some pictures of that animal to copy. It could be from a book you have at home, it could be pictures from the internet, it could be from watching some of the film from Chester Zoo again. Have lots of goes, don’t worry about it looking a funny shape, don’t worry about rubbing out just start again and have lots of turns until you feel you are getting the shape right. It may even help to trace the shape to get you started.

If you are happy to share, then send a photo of your drawings for us to see, we always want to see what you have been doing.

We hope that you enjoy the activities and that you have a happy and busy day.

From Miss Morgan and Mrs Bentley
