Looking closely at Newspapers. A fun way to introduce children to newspaper terminology, headlines, advertisements, fonts, pictures. The PDF file consists of 20 tasks skimming and searching through the various pages of a newspaper to complete a task by cutting and sticking and writing and drawing. Each child requires a newspaper or perhaps this could also be done in pairs. Suitable for KS1 or slow learners in KS2. An editable powerpoint presentation is also included.

This is the third in the series of My Colour Books for Early years and KS1 children. It is themed for Summer with colourful graphics. The tasks are to complete sentences using the correct colours, visual awareness is important and recognition of colours essential. There are also two wordmaps which could be laminated one on Seaside words and one on colours. These could be used as aids for writing ecxercises. The children will also be asked to complete some reading activities putting in a missing colour word, this will test understanding of what has been read. This can also be bought as part of a bundle.
