Afternoon Learning – Spelling and Forest School Art!

Spelling

Over the next few weeks, we will be setting you a weekly spelling list and task on a Wednesday. You can either print these sheets out and record your practice attempts in the boxes or write the spelling words out a few times/put them into sentences on some paper. The crack the code task can also be done straight onto paper if you don’t have a printer.

These are from EdShed so you can log in using the details found at the back of your diary and play the interactive spelling games to help you practice if you think this might help.  We won’t be setting a formal time to test your spellings but if you would like to please feel free to organise a time to test yourselves and let us know your scores.

Forest School Art-

This afternoon we are encouraging you to still get outside and join in our weekly Welly Wednesday session! We would like you to create your own Andy Goldsworthy inspired artwork using loose parts found in nature. This could be in your garden or on your daily walk with your parents.

Watch the video and find out your task in more detail. We would love to see how you get on so please e-mail any of your work to year3@abbeyroadprimary.co.uk!

In the Welly Wednesday video, there is a clip about the famous sculptor you will be asked to watch, copy the link below to access this-

As always please feel free to contact us if you have any questions at all. We really are here to support both parents and children as best we can. Keep smiling!
