Learning Project - to be done throughout the week: My Family
The project this week aims to provide opportunities for your child to gain a better
understanding of their own family. Learning may focus on what different makeup of
families, what traditions your family has, stories linked to your family etc.
Family:
- This is time to find out about their family and traditions they follow. Ask them to think about: Who
they live with? How many adults? How many children? Can they sort their family members into
height order? Who is the tallest? Who is the shortest? Is the tallest family member the eldest family
member? If they drew around all their family members' hands; could they count in 5s? What if they
drew around their feet? Could they count in 2s? Ask think about one family member they would
love to interview. They could be a family member that lives with them or a family member that lives
somewhere else. Can they write down some questions they would like to ask them? Have they got
a pet? Can they draw or paint a picture of their family? Can they talk about their picture to a family
member?
Self portrait:
- Ask your child to think about which materials they use to draw? Can they find different materials
around the house to help?
Create a card:
- Ask your child to design a card for someone in their family. It can be a birthday card, thank
you card or a card to tell someone how much they love them!
Family tree:
- Look at photographs of your family members and discuss where they would
go on a family tree. Have you met everyone? Is there anyone you could
interview and find out more about?
Design a personal coat of arms shield for the family:
- Find out what a coat of arm shield means. Ask them to begin to think about their design. What
could they draw? What does it mean to them ? Ask them to think about the colours and shapes.
Maybe if they have some cardboard around the house they could make a shield to give to a family
member.
Create a booklet all about the family:
- Can they name the people in their family and write sentences about them? Who are they?
What do they call them? What do they like or dislike? Why are they special to them?
Maybe they could get a photograph or draw a family member before they write about them.
Data detective Ask your child to look at people in the house. What colour is their hair ? Eye
colour? Favourite colour? Favourite food? Ask them to collect this and place in a tally chart.

Write an invitation to a family event: Ask your child to invite a family member to one of the
following: - (talent show, music show, magic tricks, jokest) In their invitation ask them to think
about the time, date and place. How will they design the invitation? Who will deliver it?
Share the https://family.gonoodle.com/activities/milkshake movement and mindfulness video with
their family. Who was the best? Which part did they enjoy? Could you create a video of your own?
