Hello Fellow Teachers,
Here is an apocalypse adventure-themed, home learning project that will be used whilst the children are off school- it’s perfect for distance learning due to the tasks being able to be completed independently. This resource spreads across 6 tasks (could be set weekly or daily) which last for an hour-long each. The tasks included follow these learning objectives:
LO: To write dystopian narrative
LO: To write anon-chronological research report
LO: To write a fictional recount
LO: To write an instruction text
LO: To use non-verbal communication to portray character emotion
LO: To write in 3rd person, past tense
This task would work great for high-ability KS2 (Key Stage 2) or Key Stage 3 (KS3) children.
I upload my tasks as both an editable .docx / Word document, and as a PDF in case the alignment doesn’t work on your computers.
If you’re looking for other home-learning projects, here are links to the other resources I’ve put together for my KS2 children.
