Garden games - make use of the great weather and get outside. Lots of these suggested games can be played in your garden, given you have enough space. Some will need adapting for example: Traffic cop could be changed to have a traffic cop direct a person around an obstacle course. Remember fresh air is good (but please only in your garden and with the people you live with) https://www.wired.com/2009/08/simpleoutdoorplay/

HALF TERM
Week 8 - 15th June
Hello all, I hope we are all good. Myself and Mr Lawler have thought about a way on how we can share our memories of Mr Cleaver together and we have decided to put together a video, made by the children of Wells Hall, about their favourite memories or moments with Mr Cleaver. I will then, with the help of Mr Lawler, put together the video and then share the video once it's completed. It would also be a great idea to upload the finished video onto a memory stick and include it somewhere within the Mr Cleaver rainbow.
Obviously this is all voluntary and is not compulsory if you do not wish to include a video.
We would like the video to be;
- 15 seconds long maximum
- Shot horizontally (makes it easier) I won't be able to use videos that are not shot like this, sorry.
- Feature a favourite memory or moment you shared with Mr Cleaver.
If your video is longer than 15 seconds then don't worry, I can clip it my end.
Once videos are finished could you please either upload them to showbie under this ICT section, or send them to my email of jsmith@Wellshallprimary.co.uk
Videos are requested to be sent in by the 26th June 2020, unfortunately I will not be able to use videos uploaded after this date.

Theme 4: Home
Theme 5: Self Portraits
Use a mirror or a photo of yourself to draw, paint, model or collage a picture of yourself, in any style you like and using a range of mediums.
Maybe research self portraits first and see if there is a style you like. You may choose to be abstract; 3 of my top artists to mimic this style are: Matisse, Andy Warhol and Picasso. Or you may be more realistic. It's up to you. Examples
Also, watch this video to help with drawing the features of your face in the correct positions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMEBSQJYaAY
Don’t forget about the background - some artists would include objects to tell the viewer a little bit more about themselves.
