In looking back at these blogs, and indeed whilst writing them, I am mindful that I am not "overloading" you and your children with too many tasks. My intention is to give you a range of possible activities your children can do that are not "one and done" but you can revisit many times when you choose to.
With that in mind, here are a couple of new tasks which you can do at any point over the next week or so. Indeed little and often is the best approach in all tasks you choose to undertake.
Story Mapping
One approach in re-telling stories we use often in school is story mapping. This is where we break a story down into key events which are represented by a picture following a path to sequence the story. It is probably easier to show you some examples!
This shows "The Three Little Pigs."
This one is for "Jack & The Beanstalk." Traditional tales are good candidates for story mapping, however, it works for most stories from "The Gruffalo" to "We're Going On A Bear Hunt."
I will put a new project on myon later this morning with texts you can story map, however you can choose any story you have to map.
If you want a version of "We're Going On A Bear Hunt" this is cool:
It will also get you all active too!
Google Slides
Before the school was closed, all the children were working on a slide show/PowerPoint presentation on their Google Drive account. The children can access their Google Drive by using their personal Google email account; they took login details home with them last week.
Please note - this is NOT Google Classroom. We do not use Classroom in KS1 currently. To find Google Drive, click the apps tab (9 little black squares) in the right hand corner on the Google homepage, click Drive and follow login instructions.
They will then be able to open their presentation that they have already started. Look to add slides on Castles and one on Knights. This website will help:
Don't panic if you can't get into Google Drive, you can do it on any application you have access to or even...paper!!!
Hope these ideas are helpful to you all. Please remember you are all doing a fantastic job and are all wonderful!
