At the start of the year, we like to get some basics sorted.
To get those cutting, sticking and using a ruler skills up to speed, we use the following two tasks:
Cutting and sticking
We found a Mincraft sword for the children to cut out and stick together. The more accurately they cut and stick, the better the outcome. The source of this resource can be found here.
Drawing straight lines
For the ruler skills, we discovered 'What to draw and how to draw it', Lutz (c1913). We used the book to create a resource for class. The outcomes were great, and a skill practised.
