Pupils choose 8 rays to describe an important man in their life, decorate them and glue them to the sun template. The centre says “My dad is” but also has options for step-dad, carer and a blank option. This is a great activity for working on dictionary skills, adjectives and personal descriptions. Pupils could even trace the rays and come up with their own descriptions for their father figure. These could be made into a lovely personalised card. Also available: Personalised Mother’s Day Flower Card. For amazing French and Spanish resources visit lovelanguage.
