Storytime 

Watch this video of The Day the Crayons Quit.

Poetry

Ekphrastic poems are poems that are inspired by art. We are going to use a Van Gogh painting to write an acrostic poem.

Watch the two short videos and then choose level 1, 2 or 3.

Level 1 - Write an acrostic poem using the word STAR. You can use one word per line.

Level 2 - Write an acrostic poem using the word STARS. You can use one or more words per line.

Level 3 - Write an acrostic poem with your own word and your own ideas.

What is your favourite book?

Draw a picture of your favourite book or character from a book.  You can choose to write a sentence the book or character if you like.

Draw or colour a book mark

Choose to draw book mark characters with Draw with Rob.

or 

Colour in some book marks.

We're Going on a Bear Hunt

Watch the video of Michael Rosen performing his famous story.

Then go on your own hunt. You could make it a bug hunt or a unicorn hunt for example. You could come across obstacles such as a bed or spagetti. You can make it as sensible or silly as you like. It is up to you, but have fun doing it!
