We are doing lots of fun Christmas art this week so why not have a go at home. The focus is on sketching, remember not to push down to hard with your pencil and then at the end you can go over in bold.

Try these searches on youtube and find a video that you like. Then follow the instructions to sketch a Christmas character.

Maths - Christmas coordinates

When working with co-ordinates it is important to remember the phrase “walk before you climb”. This means the first number you see is the one you walk along the bottom axis, the second number you see is the one that goes up the side.

For this Christmas co-ordinates lesson you will need to draw some axis and label them. Then mark on the coordinates and draw lines to create some Christmas shapes.

Please see the files below called “Christmas coordinates 1” and “Christmas coordinates 2”.
