WEEK 1 - AMPHIBIANS


This is a list of activities to do with this week's theme... Amphibians! 

I've chosen a list format as you can pick and choose what activities you want to do from the list. 

Anything with a *** means you can tick it off in the "working from home" book sent home by school. 

If you've found this content useful, please consider buying me a coffee (or a sandwich!) https://ko-fi.com/anwenworsfold

  • Read the book "Amphibians" available at https://www.worldbookonline.com you can either sign up to discover the username and password, or message me. It's not an individual log-in.  For a Welsh book, consider Llyfr Natur Iolo gan Iolo Williams. Available for around £14 from shops such as  https://cantamil.com/

  • *** Make a Database about amphibians. Use J2data and choose Database. They may need to watch the tutorials on how to create one. Alternatively, use Excel, Access, or a plain old pen and paper. 


  • Go Pond Dipping (TAKE CARE AROUND WATER!) and Record what you find in the Big Pond Dip Count how many types of creature you find. Make a Pie Chart to show this (Use J2data or Excel)
  • Learn about the life cycle of a frog (metamorphosis) and re-create it out of clay

  • *** Look at the Artist Brendan Fahy's work  and try to paint your own picture using his signature style of bright, bold colours and sweeping brushstrokes

  • Make a magnetic fishing game about pond dipping. Instead of just fish, use frogs, newts and whatever else you find in a pond! 


  • ***Watch Disney's the Princess and the Frog or read the fairy tale. Make an 8 box cartoon to summarise the story. 
CYMRAEG- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTOQwN4yRD4

  • ***Religion- Christianity & Judaism - Find out about the 10 plagues of Egypt and make a poster about it





  • Watch The Wind in The Willows Live Theatre Production on https://www.willowsmusical.com/   Use as many adjectives as you can to describe the personality of each of the animals. Discuss anthropomorphosis (giving human feelings to non-human creatures). Which animal do you think you'd be?


Welcome/ Croeso!

This blog is *mostly* for parents of my daughter's class, but may be useful to parents from other year groups or schools in Wales. 


Notes- 

1. There will be Welsh 1st language and English tasks as it is a Welsh Medium School. This will be difficult as there simply aren't many Welsh language resources out there. I'll try my best to find as much as I can.

2. I can recommend books but won't be sending resources to people I don't personally know (i.e. outside of the school). We're licensed to use the resources as part of Teulu Llangynwyd, our schools cluster.

3. I am a teacher, with experience from Primary to Secondary, but I'm a trained Secondary French Teacher. Primary is not my specialism, I'm doing my best.

4. Please consider a small donation towards my work https://ko-fi.com/anwenworsfold
