KS2 Summer Holiday Pack - Week 3

Week 3

Need things to do for kids at home? Discover our fun holiday packs for kids, perfect for the holidays. This summer holiday pack offers a variety of creative and fun ideas, including games, crafts and quizzes.

This week on BBC Bitesize you can;

• design a Spanish fan
• learn how to identify trees from their leaves
• help an alien plan a party.

The Spanish fan is not only used on hot days to cool you down. It is also used in a dance called the flamenco.

Create your own fan and decorate it however you like. You could even create your own dance routine using it.

A bike ride is a great way to exercise and stay active over the summer holidays.

If the weather is bad or you don't have someone to go on a bike ride with, try some of these songs and dances to keep moving over the holidays.

Can you help this alien celebrate their first birthday on Earth?

They need to buy a few things for the party. Can you work out what they can buy to celebrate?

The UK is home to hundreds of different types of trees.

Trees are very important to our planet as they are home to lots of different animals. They also provide us with the oxygen we need to breathe.

The Bitesize Parent's Toolkit teamed up with the Wildlife Trust to create a guide to identifying trees. How many different types of tree are there in your local park or garden?

Write a short story of no more than 500 words.

Before you start to write, think about what happens in the story and plan what happens.

Writers call the main events that happen in a story the plot. The story needs a beginning, middle and end.

A story mountain is a useful way to organise your plot. You have an opening, a build up, a mystery or problem, followed by a resolution and an end.

The guide below gives you ideas about what you can include in your story and also explains in more detail what a story mountain is.
