Year One Weekly Tasks: Week 8
Date: 26th May 2020 @ 7:41pm
Hi Children,
This week we would like you to focus your work around a short animation found on literacyshed.com.
https://www.literacyshed.com/bubbles.html
You will need to watch the short clip in order to complete the different tasks. When it all seems blue, happiness may be close by… if you just look closely at your surroundings perhaps you will find it! Gabby is walking on the beach and finds a bottle of bubbles - when she blows it she gets transported into fantasy. She has fun riding on bubbles and meets people and things on her way.
Writing opportunities: Choose from one or more of the following ideas:
· Write a description of the beach.
· Write the story told in the film.
· Choose a creature that lives in the sea and write a fact file about it.
· Write a poem about Gabby’s adventure in the sea.
Don't forget to use your senses to add detail!
Geography:
In the animation, Gabby is on the beach. Draw a picture of a beach and label all the features e.g. beach, cliff, coast, ocean, port, harbour etc.

Look at aerial photographs of the UK and find some seaside towns. Would you rather live at the coast or in the city? Why?
Art Opportunities:
· Paint an underwater scene.
· Make an underwater world on a paper plate
· Draw the outline of a fish and use something (such as a piece of celery) to print the scales
· Put some water, washing up liquid and paint into a cup. Use a straw to blow bubbles and then put a piece of paper over the top to take a print. Try using different colours and fill the paper.
