Well it was a windy day yesterday.  We nearly got blown away on our walk with the dogs.  I hope that you have all had a good week.  We will post some of your photos again.  Well it has been a strange two weeks not in school.  I know that you are all busy bees, getting up to lots of different things and dipping in and out of our activities.   We are really enjoying setting you fun things to complete, but please remember that these are only suggestions.  One thing we have all loved, is getting the emails from you letting us know how you are all doing.  

On to today -

As it is Easter coming up I thought we could run with this theme a little so here we go:

Art - Zentangles.  What a great word!

a great example of zendoodling #zentangle #zendoodling #doodling ... What Is Zentangle Drawing Meditation? | POPSUGAR Fitness

These are examples of zentangles.  They are a little like mindfulness colouring only you make your own patterns up.  Draw an egg shape and then see if you could create lots of wonderful "tangles" inside.  You can use one colour, monochrome or colour in it all in.  

Maths - This follows on from yesterdays area and perimeter work.  Draw yourself a selection of rectangles of different sizes.  You could also draw some squares and triangles.  Measure them carefully and work out the perimeter and area of the shapes.

Science - With some help, can you find something in your house (kitchen might be the best place) that changes its state of matter when a force is applied to it?  Draw or photograph the process.  This could be an ice cube, an egg or even some chocolate (even an Easter egg!).  Have fun and keep safe.

As I said at the beginning of this blog - what a couple of weeks it has been and you are all being amazing and so are your grown ups!  Keep in touch, send an email or a photo.  We love them.  Enjoy your Easter, maybe the Easter Bunny will come, I am hoping he will!

Take care, keep safe and keep smiling.

Thursday 2nd April,

Hi everyone, I hope that you have had a good time at Homewood!  It looks like you have been doing some amazing things and having lots of fun.  We have had the sewing machine out here.  Florence has made some bunting for her bedroom.  Teddy has been practising his keepy uppy's!

On to some ideas for activities for today:

STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths

Have a go at designing a kite.  You might want to look at kites found in other cultures or in books you have read - Flat Stanley, Someone Bigger!  Can you draw a picture of your design and then have a go at producing it?  Think carefully about the materials that you will use and the shape that you make it.  Once you have made it comes the really fun bit.  Will it fly?  Try running around your garden with it and see what happens.  Maybe you could record how long it stays up.  You might also think about alterations that you could make.

Art:  Create your own version of an Andy Goldsworthy.  He is a famous artist that creates wonderful pieces of work using natural materials such as stones, leaves, twigs etc.

                                        Andy Goldsworthy's Ephemeral Works: Artwork that is a testament to ...             Magical Land Art By Andy Goldsworthy | Bored Panda

Take some photos or sketch some pictures of them.

Maths:

I thought you could have a go at some measuring today.  Pick a space.  It could be your bedroom, the garden, the porch, wherever you fancy.  Can you measure it carefully.  Then try to work out the perimeter and then the area of your space.  You could do a large space and a smaller space or even an objects surface.

Again make sure that you have lots of fun in everything that you do.  Goodness me we are missing you all and it is so lovely to see your pictures and work.  You are amazing.
