Timeline
Can you make your own timeline of your life or just of your time in lockdown? Timelines are a sequence of events over time and can be great ways to share things that have happened to you with others, or a lovely way to share memories with family and friends.
You can use words, photos (if you are allowed), drawings, old cards, old clothes, toys, etc to illustrate your life so far.
Be as creative as you want. It could be on paper, a washing line or a 3D display. Please send a photo of it to your teacher via Seesaw if you can.
Here are some ideas gathered from the internet; just so you can see, anything goes.
If you want more advice on how to help your child create a timeline, here is a link (https://www.thoughtco.com/timeline-activity-for-kids-4145478?utm_source=pinterest&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=shareurlbuttons) but this about sequencing events in your child's life that they want to share and being creative.
