This week, children have two pieces of homework. Both are due on Thursday 18 May.
The first is Practice Makes Perfect: I can score 1000 points on Mathletics.
Please note: this does not have to be on ‘Live’ Mathletics.
The second is Creative: I can appreciate art.
We may not all ‘like’ art, we may not all aspire to be artists, but we can all appreciate art to some degree. For this homework, children should respond in a creative manner and show that they can appreciate art in some way. We discussed it as a class and the children decided that some good ideas were:
- create their own piece of art
- visit an art exhibition and document their trip
- imitate their favourite artist’s work
- do an interview with a (fake?) famous artist
- have a conversation (and record this in some way) with someone who does not particularly like art but can appreciate it in some way
- make a collage of all the art they like/own
- draw a picture, and ask someone you know to draw one, too. Then, compare and contrast them
- make a puppet show about why people appreciate art (possibly with an arty background)
There are, of course, many other ideas, too.
