Atlas Class Everyday tasks  Friday 22^nd May 2020 ( 21.5.2020)

 Today and all week we will be doing some active learning .

Having spoken to parents last week, I realised that many children in my class  simply need to do something different. So I am going to suggest 3 FUN activities to try each day.  Hope you enjoyed all the activities yesterday ( Did you enjoy eating your food person? Yesterday?)

Activity 1- OLD NEW PAPER!

Investigate how to make new paper look old

What you need:- piece of white A4 size paper, a used teabag ( cold )

• We are going to make a new piece of paper look old [and use it make it into a treasure map for Activity 2.]
• First put a few drops of water onto your teabag.
•  Next pick up the teabag and carefully smooth it all over the white paper so that it leaves a tea-stain everywhere.
• Cover all the paper.
•  The scrunch the paper up a little, and leave it to dry

Activity 2- TREASURE ISLAND

Investigate how to make a treasure map

What you need:-your stained paper made in the last activity, some felt-tips

 You are going to make a treasure map. 

• Somewhere on your paper write the word START
• Then draw lines -------- all over until you decide where to end. Then draw X.
• The X shows where the treasure is.
•  If you are at home, you will need to decide where to end your treasure – at school I will be hiding some treasure for the children to try to find.
• If you like , try to add some picture information to your map- e.g. pictures of a stream  (bath), mountain ( staircase), cave ( under a duvet) until you get to the X

. 

Activity 3 TREASURE HUNT

Investigate  following your treasure map

What you need:-your treasure map , some treasure  and a box  to put it in

• Follow your treasure map around. Perhaps share it with a family member at home.
• Do you want to dress up to go on your treasure hunt? Will you be a pirate or a superhero?
• Can they follow your clues and find the hidden treasure?
• Is the treasure something you can eat  (some biscuits or sweets)  or wear ( make a paper crown?) _ remember to put the treasure in the box and hide it in the place you have marked with an X on your treasure map.
