Half+Term




 * Half Term Hooray**

Well what can you do during half term. Here are some ideas.

1) Draw a map of where you live.

2) Draw a planning map for your bedroom to see if you might like to move the furniture around. You will need to make sure that your scale is accurate and that items in your room are the right size too. You can cut out paper to represent pieces of furniture, such as your bed, desk, drawers etc, and then try to make a new plan. Ask your parents first before you start shifting things!

3) Visit another city. Ask you parents to take you to another UK city, Norwich, Canterbury, Brighton, Bristol, Oxford, Milton Keynes etc. See something different.

4) Visit a new kind of landscape in Britian, a river, a waterfall, a valley, a gorge, a mountain, a beach etc.

5) Explore somewhere near where you live that you have never been before. Take some photographs and using Keynote or Powerpoint make a slideshow that plays by itself with captions explaining what the picture is of. If you're really clever you could inset a map of the location in each photograph. If you use an iPhone, iPhoto will map the pictures for you automatically in iPhoto.

4) Visit the Natural History Museum in London.

5) Visit the Pitt Rivers Museum and the Science Museum in Oxford. Also whilst you're there don't miss the Museum of the History of Science in Broad Street.

6) Visit the Emirates Air Line, the cable car that runs from the O2 Arena (North Greenwich to Royal Docks) Also visit the beautiful Urban Sustainability Centre. Details here: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/modalpages23863.aspx





7) If you're going out of the country, go for a walk and take some photographs.

8) If you're going away, end a postcard to Dr Lee at school from somewhere interesting.
