NEW RESOURCES - April 2020

Lancashire PE

The resource is centered around 4 key themes:
 
Move, Learn, Challenge & Play.
    
They feel that there is far too much info online for parents and that it can all be a little overwhelming which is why they have created a central website. Therefore the 'Move' and 'Play' sections take parents to a number of great resources that have been streamlined and are age appropriate. This website will constantly be updated as they develop new ideas and a new resource with updated links, games, PE tasks and challenges will be circulated each week. 
 
 
The links are as follows.
  
Any videos/photos that are posted on social media  will go into a weekly prize draw. 
 
Please use the #LancsGames20 and share on the following channels

History

The learning within this theme focuses on holidays and leisure. Children will be involved in making comparisons and analysing trends between the different periods, focusing primarily on the period from the Victorian era to the present day. 

Choice of activities:

1. What is a holiday?

  • Why do people go on holiday?
  • Where do they go?
  • What kinds of activities do they do on holiday?

Present your ideas and responses in a brainstorm format. Make it as big, bright and bold as you like - you may even want to make an interactive brainstorm using a website such as https://popplet.com/ 

 

2. Journeys people made, prior to the Victorian era, which might be thought of as early holidays.

  • Medieval Pilgrimage 
  • The Grand Tour 1660 - 1820 
  • Early Spas 

Research each of the different journeys that people in the past used to make. Can you find out, who made this journey? Why they went? What they did? 

You may present your findings in one of the following ways: a handwritten leaflet or one made using Microsoft Publisher, a poster (handmade or on a word document) or you may write three short diary entries, which detail your experience on each journey. 

 

3. British seaside resorts 

Access the Blackpool advertisement from 1889 using the follow link:

https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/education/past-pleasures.pdf (pages 16 & 17) 

Think about why the Victorians advertised in this form? What does the information on the poster tell us about what appealed to Victorians when choosing their seaside destination?

Now look at http://www.blackpoolvisitorguide.com/ 

Think about how has the advertising of holidays changed? Why might this have happened? Complete a comparison grid identifying the key features of each form of advertising and why these may have been included. An example is shown below to get you started:

1889 poster Blackpool visitor guide
Key features of advertisement Details about weather and climate  Gives addresses of popular attractions 
Similarities
  1. Mention of range of accommodation 


Differences
  1. Poster mentions Blackpool's death rate 

 

 

4. Explore a timeline of British holiday habits at http://projectbritain.com/holidays.htm Can you make your own time line using these events and adding your own ideas and knowledge? Here are a few presentation ideas:

          

                              

Or you could make an interactive one using http://www.readwritethink.org/parent-afterschool-resources/games-tools/timeline-a-30246.html 

 

5. Select a popular seaside destination of your choice, some suggestions are Scarborough, Margate, Brighton, Blackpool, Bournemouth etc. 

Your task is to create a 'tourism information now and then' project. You can decide to present your information however you like - last half term, popular tools were Microsoft word and PowerPoint. 

Within your project you could include information about entertainment, accommodation, piers, beach activities, attractions etc but you must remember to include a comparison of how your destination used to be and the things available compared to now in the present day. 

 

6. There are also lots of interactive resources and tasks that you can access on Purple Mash by visiting the homepage - selecting topics - and finding the topic 'holidays'. 

 

 

Science - Electricity

 

1. Who is Thomas Edison? Research, watch some videos on YouTube and write a short biography about his life and work. There is even a template on Purple Mash if you wish to do it online. Go to home - science - scientists. Make sure to save your work so that I can view it. 

 

https://wiredthegame.com/index_root.html 

2. Play this atmospheric puzzle platform game where you must wire up electrical circuits to get through. 

 

3. If you have an electricity meter or monitor look at this and find out what the numbers and readings mean (this could be especially interesting if you have a smart meter).

 

4. Discuss what it would be like without electricity. Why not have an electricity-free evening or day and explore alternative ways to light a room, cook food or entertain yourselves?

 

5. Explore the different electrical components information sheet (saved under weekly resources) and then see if you can match the definitions to the diagrams. 

 

6. Have a look at these images below. Who do you agree with and why? (You can also find these saved under weekly resources).

Art

  • Find a picture/piece of art/photograph of the sea, seaside, boats, lighthouse etc and recreate your own version in collage using things from around your house e.g. old newspapers, magazines, sweet wrappers etc. Check with an adult first that you are able to use the resources.   
  • Arrange a still life scene created from seaside objects such as deckchairs, buckets and spades, fishing nets, life belts, shells etc. Make observational drawings/paintings. Perhaps you could use different tools such as pencil, pen, chalk, pastel, biro, charcoal.   
  • Pointillism - the technique of using tiny dots which become blended in the viewer's eye. Using a pencil create a rough outline of your chosen sea creature. Use felt tips or paint and cotton buds to create your art work. Here are some examples:  

   

You can find more examples by doing an internet search for 'sea creatures pointillism art'. 

 

Feel free to complete any of your own creative projects that you see on the internet or that you can think of relating to the seaside using the materials that you have at home.
