Who is the first person or thing you are going to visit on Thursday once we are in level 2? For me it is my grandparents. They have been locked away in their retirement village and are missing everyone so much. We have been video calling them every few days, we even had them at Bobby's party to watch him blow out the candles on his cake via video call. But, as great as video calling is and has been to keep us all connected during this time, it just isn't the same as seeing people in real life. The second stop is the playground, at Dotty's request.
Form drawing:
Form 11:
Start with a circle that takes up about half of the height of your page, then add the same size circle below, touching. Next add a small circle in each of the two circles, making sure they are the same size as each other. Then once you have the little circle in the large circle I want you to make another one slightly bigger than the last...
I found it helped to turn my page on the side, getting a different perspective helped to see if my circles were round (turns out they were a bit lopsided, luckily I used light lines and could rub them out to adjust my circles). Keep adding layers and growing your circles. You'll end up with 5 circles on each side, 10 in total.
Once you have drawn all your circles and you are happy with their shape and sizes you can colour them in...
And then you'll end up with something like this!

Did you all see the project yesterday? How are you going with it? This is a week long project and I won't be giving you much else other than this, form drawing, spelling and daily math each day. I hope that the level of work you put in reflects the amount of time I have given you. I also understand that some people will be able to do more than others. Think about your ideas and I'll have a template you can fill out on Monday morning before we share if this is you.
