This homework was originally created for mixed EYFS/KS1 class. It gives children the chance to explore the theme of “Under The Sea” at home with their parents.
Benjamin Zephaniah is an amazing poet.
These sheets offer two items:
Chronology of Benjamin’s life;
Comprehension sheet based on his festive poem “Talking Turkeys”.
This worksheet reminds children about the different stages in a story using the Mountain imagery. The top of the page provides a reminder for what should be in each section, with space at the bottom to create notes.
Sporting Achievement Award - this certificate allows the teacher to reward children who have demonstrated an ability or interest in sports. This example uses a specific logo for a football team, but the image can easily be changed to something more suitable or appropriate.
This powerpoint uses a range of photographs found on the internet.
When I taught this lesson, I shared the images, talked about the range of animals which can be found in Australia and then laid out three long sheets of lining paper. Each child was given a thick paintbrush and a pot of paint (white, black, brown, orange, green, red and yellow).
The children walked around each sheet, making long snake-like patterns, surrounded by dots. Once the sheets had dried, they were used as backing paper for a display about Aboriginal Art.
I also gave the children a small canvas board. They planned their image and then painted an Australian animal - surrounded by concentric lines of differing colours.
This sheet is useful for planning longer pieces of writing, including Big Write sessions.
It focuses around a pebble - could the pebble be a magic pebble? What could happen when you touch it?
