Phonics

Start with a fun phonics song

Lets have some fun with a tricky bug hunt! Get your grown ups to hide your tricky word cards around your house and garden and see how many you can find, when you have found one you could read your tricky word to your adult or for an extra challenge write it down! 

Creative

Before we broke up for half term we asked you to begin looking at the work of Matisse. We mainly focused on spirals and making spirals in the natural environment and we saw some of your own beautiful works imitating this on EExAT. For this week’s creative project we would like you to once again think about the artist Matisse but this time we will be looking at his collage based art work. 

You can find out about Henri Matisse here,

Have a look at the following pieces of art and discuss with your grown up the patterns, shapes and colours you can see. What do the shapes represent? What does the picture make you think about? 

This week we would love you to have a go at your own ‘Matisse’ inspired collage. You can collage a location (beach, forest, underwater, favourite room of your house) or an object (tree, fish tank, flower). Use some brightly coloured card or paper, draw and cut shapes to represent different parts of your collage, layer them on a sheet of paper and stick! Have fun and get creative!
