Mr Kelley has very kindly put together some resources to support our SEND children. We have updated our SEND page to include these resources and they can be found below:
Cannon Park Superheroes
Did you know that Cannon Park is full of superheroes? Thank you to those of you who have emailed in your creations based on today’s ‘create a superhero’ challenge. Here are just a few examples:
Superheroes
Being World Autism Awareness Week, we mustn’t forget that we are all special; we all have things which make us different, unique, special.
For today’s activity, think about what makes you special. What are you good at? What qualities do you have? Are you kind? Do you always think about others before yourself? Which of our school values do you really demonstrate every day? Create a cartoon character of yourself as a superhero. If you want to extend the activity, create a comic book about your new superhero. I have attached a comic book frame below for you to download and print off, or use as a guide if you use plain paper or your exercise book. Please email a photo of your superheroes to website@cannonpark.coventry.sch.uk
World Autism Week
This week, we celebrate World Autism Week, with World Autism Day on Thursday. Autism is a lifelong, developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people, and how they experience the world around them. Please click on the image below to find out more:
At home this week, maybe you could create an informative poster to raise awareness of Autism.
A-Z School Games Challenge
Your School Games have created an A-Z of activities throughout the school closure to try and keep children and families active.
A is for Athletics
Newspapers
Good morning, Cannon Park! I hope you all feeling well and you had a lovely weekend. This is our second week of learning at home. By now, you might be in more of a routine to help structure you day and you might be getting a little more used to that routine. However, your new routine won’t last forever – we will be back at school before you know it!
One thing that I’m doing more than usual at the moment is reading the news. In school, we subscribe to First News, which is a newspaper written especially for children. Fortunately, they are creating free access to their products for a limited period of time, to help parents and children during school closures.
First News is a weekly newspaper aimed at 7 to 14-year-olds that aims to get children talking about the news in an easy to understand and non-threatening way. They cover issues which are relevant to children and which specifically affect them. Inside you’ll find a mix of world news and UK news, but also loads of fun stuff, such as entertainment, games, animals, sport and puzzles.
News is all around us and children pick up on news wherever they go. But not all news is bad and they passionately believe there are lots of positive stories out there. They love to cover the nice news too and celebrate what is good about the world.
For today’s activity, why not encourage your child to read through First News. Following this, they could:
- write their own newspaper article about current events
- create a short news report to film like CBBC Newsround
- share a ‘good news’ story with a family member to spread positive news
