Art: Self Portraits 🎨

Use this simple guide to teach children the steps to draw a portrait. Provide children with mirrors to look at themselves, or encourage them to look closely at a friend as they draw their face. Children could create a self-portrait and then compare it with a drawing of a friend. Can they identify the similarities and differences between themselves and others?

Solids, Liquids and Gases: Sorting activity

Use this simple, printable KS2 resource to help your child learn the difference between the three states of matter – solid, liquid and gas. A number of picture cards with illustrations of everyday items must be sorted into the correct category on the worksheet provided. This exercise has some tricky items which will get them thinking about what exactly constitutes a solid, a liquid and a gas.

You may like to support your child as they learn about different states of matter by completing this worksheet with them at home. Help them identify between liquids, solids and gases. You can even use items from around your house to help them understand. This activity is engaging, but not too challenging so is perfect to use in the relaxed space of your home.

You can then look at this mixture called Ooblek! It’s an unusual material that is both and solid and liquid!
