Become a Photographer

Everyone loves a great photograph and taking pictures for memories.

If you are wanting something different to do then why not try a bit of photography.

You can take great photos with a phone, camera or ipad and there are many tips to help you get the perfect shot.

All of these photos have been taken by children at school. Can you work out where they were taken?

Take a lesson on snapping some good shots!

You could try to do some of these great activities once you have had some practice.

• Take a photograph of anything and write a story about it. It could be of bears that you see in windows or some plants in the garden. It might be a journal of your time at home.
• Have someone create a list of things to find in the house or in the yard. Go and photograph them and be creative.  Perhaps just take a photograph of part of the object and try to get people to guess what it is.
• Photograph something that starts with each letter of the alphabet
• Create a blog to keep your pictures on.  You can make it private for only family to view if you choose. You can post their images, add captions, and record what you are learning.

You can add your work to your Learning at Home page on Linc Ed to show your great shots.

Lego Fun

With the weather being a little wet at the moment this could be a great inside activity for all the family.
You can use Lego or use any blocks you have.  Something new for each day to try.

You can even enjoy Lego online at Lego ideas and enter competitions, suggest new ideas to make and lots more.
If you have lego packs at home you can use these for making the items (great for following instructions, visual language, and problem-solving) then use them to make something new.

At Lego.com you can play games as well as explore all kinds of lego. 

If your parents have Facebook there is even a Lego Facebook page with lots of ideas!

Most of all have fun, play, be creative and enjoy Lego.
