Oral language
Interviewing
Children can devise a list of questions for a
member of their family / wider family circle. For example, with grandparents /
aunties / uncles they could explore aspects of the past (school life / pastimes
/ festivals and traditions around Easter etc.). This can link nicely with the
“Then and Now” strand of the History curriculum.
If possible, where children can communicate with
grandparents via phone / facetime / skype this is a good way of keeping contact
during this period where circumstances dictate that they must not visit older
relatives.
Eng Writing
Writing on the genre explanations-
Use the following image to help you write a piece explaining
how something happens: for example, What happens on April Fools Day, rules of a
game, how to build something.
Please include paragraphs and try to add as much detail and
description as you can.
