Suggested extension activites - 'a' as in father - Phonic Pack 5.
Note to Tutor: a as in father
Extension Integrate into other learning areas:
1. (Mathematics) Make a bar graph using the number of words in each column.
You may like to use the graph on the following page. I have created a
column for other words if it is needed.
If the children are familiar with bar graphs:
they could work out for themselves how many rows and columns they will need and draw the graph themselves.
they could also offer the information discovered by studying the graph instead of being given the leading questions.
2. (Technology and Enterprise, Art) Children design and create a mask.
Have a class discussion about what sort of mask each child is to make (animals, birds, monsters, free choice, ????)
What materials will be available to make the mask? Can he/she bring materials from home to help make/decorate the mask?
How big will the mask be? Where will the eyes have to go? How is it going to stay in place when it is being worn?
Showing the children masks or pictures of masks is beneficial.
Giving children time to talk the project over with parents/ caregivers is also beneficial.
A sheet to help guide each child through the project can be found on the page after the bar graph sheet.
(Lifesaver hint) You may consider parent help on the days the children are actually making the masks.
The second design is needed because as the children work through the task they usually make changes to the original design. They need to know this is OK, and it is a good exercise to draw the final result and compare the first and second designs. Adults work like this all the time.
3. (Oral English, Drama, working and co-operating in small groups) Form small groups and create short plays using the characters each child has created with his/her mask.
Present skits/plays at Assembly, to parents or to a buddy class.
4. (Writing) Each child brings a photo of her/his father to school and writes a few sentences describing Dad and what he means to him/her.
