Learning Goal: I can be creative with words.

Your challenge for today is to make a song or rap about your favourite thing in your life. If music isn’t your thing maybe you can write a script or a short poem and find a creative way to read it to your family.

First, spend some time thinking about a topic for your song or rap. It could be something which really interests or excites you. It could be about something or someone you really care for. The subject is up to you.

Next, begin creating. There are lots of ways to write a song or rap. You could start by just singing, whatever comes out of your mouth. You could start by just humming or whistling, maybe you have a tune in your head just waiting for some words. You could start by jotting down random words or phrases, again, don’t over think it, just whatever pops into your head.

Now, start to put it all together.

Finally, you might want to record your rap or song. You might want to add a dance and film it! Also, don’t forget to share with your teacher via OneNote.

Learning Goal: I can design a new invention.

Your challenge for today is to design a new invention.

First, think of think of something you think the world really needs right now. It could be a machine that makes some aspect of today’s life easier, or just some that is used for fun.

Next, draw a detailed labelled diagram of your invention.

Then, you may want to build a prototype, or model, of your invention. A prototype doesn’t have to work, it just needs to show what your invention may look like.

Before you start, think about what your invention could do. I’d like a device that will turn red apples into green apples. I prefer green apples. How about a machine that will fold your socks, or one that washes your dog. Or maybe you just want to build a time machine.

Finally, don’t forget to share a picture of your creation with your teacher via OneNote

Learning Goal: I can create an art show.

Your challenge for today is to create an art show.

First, collect all the various drawings, paintings or constructions you may have made over recent weeks.

Now, if you don’t have a lot of work to display you may want to take some time to create some more, or you may ask other members of your family if they have any they would like to contribute to a family art show.

Next, come up with a way you can display these for your family. Create your own gallery displaying your art and creations.

Finally, don’t forget to share a picture of your art show with your teacher via OneNote

Learning Goal: I can be inspired by nature. 

Your challenge for today is to collect some things from your surroundings and to draw them.

First, you can:

• Collect some things from nature while you take a walk, or from your backyard.
• Spend some time wandering around your house looking for something unique, different or challenging. It could be one thing or a collection of things.

Now, take some time to arrange what you have collect in an interesting way.

Next, draw or paint what you see. You may want to incorporate what you collect into your drawing or, if drawing isn’t your thing, you may want to use them in a sculpture.

Finally, don’t forget to share your picture with your teacher via OneNote.

Learning Goal: I can design and construct an alien spaceship.

First, think of space, think about the far reaches of outer space. What might be there? Who might be there? How might they get about? It’s all a big mystery!

Your challenge for today is to unwrap that mystery and design and construct your vision of an alien spaceship.

Next, you can either come up with a design and then find the materials, or you can find the materials and then come up with a design. Which approach suits you?

Before you start, check out the images below for some inspiration. Your alien spaceship may be big, it may be small. It may be edible, it may be wearable. We are curious to see what you come up with.

Then, complete your activities. If you feel like that was too easy, see if you can repeat your fitness circuit 3 times. 

Finally, think about how you feel after you finished your exercise. Do you feel better? Energised? Happy? Write down in your book how you feel. 

Today you will be designing your pet’s dream home! 

What do you think your (real or imaginary) pet’s dream home would be? Would it be a majestic crystal doggy palace with endless bowls of treats? A cozy, cushioned, cat tower where they could look down on their slaves (humans), or a an endless ocean full of seaweed and slugs?
