For these tasks – please be mindful about social distancing if you are to go outside. If you are unable to go outside, see if you can explore your local area on Google Street View and Google Earth. If you are unable to access a printer (or if you want an additional challenge!), you could use the resources that I’ve made available as prompts to make an information poster/booklet about your local area.

Please download the wonderful array of Van Gogh colouring found below, can you research the colours and techniques he has used in the originals to try and recreate his pieces?

This week, I would like you to learn about the growth of animals from being born. To start this off, have a go at the ‘Animals and Their Young’ matching card activity – use your iPad/computer to find images of these animals as you are doing it! The next task that I would like you to complete is the ‘How Animals Grow’ worksheet. For this, I would like you to select an animal (it could be your favourite) and draw it as a baby and an adult – feel free to use any technology to help you in doing this. Once you have done that, I want you to write a description as to how it changes as it grows – think about how it changes when you look at it. To help with your writing, please also download the ‘Animal Growth’ word mat. Good luck! If you have scissors and glue available to you, please also have a go at the ‘Egg or Not’ activity sheet. On this piece of work, have a think about which animals you believe are born from an egg or not. To improve your research skills, use a tablet/laptop/phone to find out some answers you may not know. Finally, if you have completed your other tasks – have a look at this fun ‘Animal Growth’ word search and take some time out for mindfulness to complete the ‘Animal Life Cycle’ colouring sheets! ### P7 Animals Animals and Their Young - Matching Cards 1.84 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/files/documents/pupils/animals-and-their-young.pdf) How Animals Grow - Worksheet 69 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/files/documents/pupils/how-aminals-grow.pdf) Animal Growth - Word Mat 407 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/files/documents/pupils/animal-growth.pdf) Egg or Not?

If you need any ideas, here are some to get you started! 4 × 2 = 3 × 5 = 8 × 2 = 4 × 4 = 6 × 4 = 5 × 3 = 2 × 4 = You might notice something similar about the first two and the last two, what is it? ### Hit the Button To continue building your times table skills, Hit the Button is a great resource to use.
