World Book Day

World Book Day is Thursday, 4th March, but we'll be doing activities all week in school, so below are some activities that you could have a go at. Please send pictures in - we'd love to see what you've been up to!

* Bake / decorate a cake with a theme from your favourite book.

* Send us a photo of you snuggled up, somewhere different, reading your favourite book!

* Make your own bookmark!

* Decorate a potato! Can you turn a potato into your favourite character from a book?

* Make sure you look at the activities posted on Seesaw - there are some fun activities for World Book Day!

* Click on a book in the digital library below, and hear all of it, or an extract being read on Youtube.

* Enter the competition to design a Book Token - the sheet to print off is below.

We have chosen one of our favourite picture books for us all to share on World Book Day this year.

‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ is written by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by the fabulous Oliver Jeffers and is a book for everyone, from Barn Owls through to year 6s. You’ve probably read it before, but take some time to read it again (if you have it at home) or watch our special video with some people you may know reading the story :)

* Choose one of the crayons and imagine you are Duncan – write a letter back to that crayon. What will you say?

* Look at the last picture, where Duncan has used every crayon. What colour is the whale? What has he used black for? What colour is the sea?

* Can you use the crayons to colour something differently? Can you create a huge picture, using every colour from the story and making each crayon happy by using them to draw / colour different things?

* Choose one of the colours and see how many related items you can think of. For example - red – fire engine, apple, tomato ketchup, stop sign, love heart

* Write a colour poem. Below are some examples of simple colour poems, using the sense - one is pink and one is yellow - can you write your own colour poem? Use the template and planning sheet below.

Afternoon activities linked to our topics for this term

Here is a new list of activities that you can choose from - please continue working on activities linked to Ancient Egyptians, as this is still our main topic, but there are lots of different activities linked to science and other curriculum areas too. You can also add your own idea, if it's not on the list!

PE

Mrs King , the PE teacher at Chenderit who works as her role as an SSCO ( School Sports Coordinator) with the Primary schools in the Chenderit cluster has come up with some ideas for virtually engaging you in PE this term as she is obviously unable to put on events and come into schools this term as she normally would.

At this point in the year, the children would normally be developing their skills in both orienteering and inclusive sports festivals, held at Chenderit. Below are links to videos created by Mrs King that provide ideas for both forms of activity, so the children (and families) can still get involved and have fun!

Orienteering Festival

Please feel free to send any photos of the children taking part in these sessions .

There are no documents to display at present.

Mrs King has also recorded some active break videos for you to join in with. There is a new one added below.
