Other Creative Activities
Fathers Day
Fathers Day is Sunday the 21st of June. Here are some ideas for cards to make.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
This recipe is by special request. The cookies are really fun to make and sooooooo delicious - especially when they are still warm from the oven! I think you will really enjoy making (and eating!) them too. If you'd like to share photos of your cookies or you making them click here. We'd love to see them!
The Recipe
You could even try making a Pom Pom rug!!
Cooking
After talking to some of you on the phone last week a few children mentioned they really enjoyed cooking and would like to do more. Below are some links to some useful websites for recipes you could follow at home.
Take a look and see what you fancy making!
Blanket Forts
IKEA have posted 6 ways you can make your very own blanket fort at home!
You might not have all the items but you can use whatever you have at home.
Be sure to get an adult to help.
CHARANGA MUSIC
With or without violins
Heather (our violin teacher) has set up everyone in Fantastic Foxes with their very own Charanga account.
This is a fantastic website with lots of different games and activities to practice your musical tempo and beats at home. You don't need to own a violin to access the great games on this website.
To get your own personal username and password to access the website please email enquires@walkley.sheffield.sch.uk where I will be able to give it you.
SILHOUETTE SUNSET PAINTING
Hello Foxes, Miss Travis here with some art for you to have a go at. You'll need some paper, paints and brushes. Have a look at the video first - it's a time lapse of my daughter completing one step by step. You could do the same detail or choose something different. You could maybe look at the sunset outside to get some inspiration, or you could google 'silhouette art painting' for some ideas. Trees work really well! Please share your work on this form. Enjoy!
I can remember to -
For the background wash:
Add water to the paint
Use a thick/wide brush with long sweeping movement across the page
Test the colour out on some scrap paper first
For the detail
Leave the background to dry completely
Light sketch the outline with a pencil if necessary
Use black paint with a thin brush
HAND ART
I've been seeing some fantastic art online all to do with your hands!
Some of these we've done already at school this year. Why don't you give them a try.
3D Hand Art
Draw different animals with your hand
Family Hand Watercolour
Calling all young artists! It’s competition time!

You need to act fast though – the deadline for submissions in this Friday 1st May. To enter, you need to ask a grown up to post a photo of your artwork on Instagram (see the website for details). You could create your artwork this week or post something you have already created. There are no restrictions on the subject and the image can be painted, drawn or scribbled, using any kind of media. Use your imagination!
If you would like some inspiration you can look on the bitesize website.
If you enter the competition, please spend a minute to fill out this feedback form and upload your work. Thank you and good luck!
Outside Activities
Wow! Well isn't the weather just lovey!!
If you have the facilities to go outside you must try some of these outdoor activities!!
Art and Maths! What a fantastic combination!
What you need:
Squared paper
Pencil
Coloured crayons
What you need to do:
- On your squared paper. Draw a box around 4 small squares to make one big square.
- In each big square you can only write on number or symbol.
- Write out a number sentence.
- Then write another in the square below but move to the left.
- Do that 4 times.
- Then start a new line but move the square to the right.
- Once you’ve written the number sentence 7 times draw an outline around everything you’ve done.
- Finally, start colouring but the pattern needs to be consistent.
Scroll through the pictures below to look at the start of mine then use the final designs to spark ideas. Get creative as possible!!
Use these multiplication facts.
- 6x7 = 42
- 9x4 =36
- 8x6 =48
