Answer these questions
Who was JMW Turner?
What did he paint? Look at his self-portrait. What can you see? Describe what JMW Turner looked like.
The sea was a great source of inspiration for Turner. He would use lots of different colours to explore the changing moods of the ocean. Look at some of Turners seascapes.
What can you see? How do they make you feel? What colours can you see? What are the differences between the calm and stormy paintings?
Try drawing different moods of the sea yourself. Choose your colours carefully. Remember the sea isn’t always blue.
PE
We are practising our ball skills this week.
Give your child a medium or large ball to start the lesson. The aim is to prevent the ball from falling to the floor.
Sticky Ball – Warm up
In standing position, take the child through the following movements to familiarise themselves with the ball and to the body.
Resting the ball with two hands on their tummies as the starting position: roll the ball towards the knees, toes and back to the tummy roll the ball around the middle roll the ball to the chest, chin, top of head and back to the chest roll the ball from the chest along one arm and back along the other arm roll the ball around one thigh and around the other
Stop and go
Child carry/move the ball around the area and on command “Stop the Ball” they must place the ball to the ground as quickly as possible still with their hand. Variations & extensions of the activity might include: carrying the ball in different ways moving in different ways moving at different speeds moving the ball along the ground (rolling, dribbling or bouncing) stopping the ball with their feet stopping the ball with different parts of the body (knee, elbow, tummy, etc) ask your child to come up with different ways of making the ball still without using hands.

They were trapped in their tent and by a blizzard and they all passed away. On 12th November, searchers found them along with Scott’s records and diaries.
