Parent/Carer Support

Elmer

/ / Art & Design, Parent/Carer Support, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5

For today’s activity, I’ve been inspired by one of my favourite book characters – Elmer! Elmer the Patchwork Elephant is a children’s picture book series by the British author David McKee. Elmer is often used to celebrate diversity so in a time when we can’t be in school, why not create your very own Elmer to bring us together!

You will need:

  • a cleaned out plastic milk container – a 4 pint one is perfect – and an adult to cut the bottle to the right shape
  • coloured paper cut into small squares
  • PVA glue
  • patience

Don’t forget, email your Elmers to [email protected]

Story Time

/ / English, Parent/Carer Support

Reading and listening to stories is so important for children. For as long as schools are closed, Amazon have made their Audible resources free. Children everywhere can instantly stream an incredible collection of stories, including titles across six different languages, that will help them continue dreaming, learning, and just being children. All stories are free to stream on your desktop, laptop, phone or tablet. Click on the image below:

Amazon have also made a number of Kindle Books available for free download. Click here for more information.

Superheroes

/ / Parent/Carer Support, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5

Being World Autism Awareness Week, we mustn’t forget that we are all special; we all have things which make us different, unique, special.

For today’s activity, think about what makes you special. What are you good at? What qualities do you have? Are you kind? Do you always think about others before yourself? Which of our school values do you really demonstrate every day? Create a cartoon character of yourself as a superhero. If you want to extend the activity, create a comic book about your new superhero. I have attached a comic book frame below for you to download and print off, or use as a guide if you use plain paper or your exercise book. Please email a photo of your superheroes to [email protected]

At home this week, maybe you could create an informative poster to raise awareness of Autism.
