Easter Ideas & Activities for Year 4!

Date: 3rd Apr 2020 @ 2:07pm

Hello everybody!

We hope you have an amazing Easter holidays! As you know, we are not going to be setting any new school work but we have created a list of activities and ideas if you want to keep busy. These are optional!

Have a go at the Easter activity bingo (find image at the bottom of the blog). How many acitivites can you cross off?

Liverpool Museum have a lovely idea that you could have a go at. Here is what the project is all about.

If you’re off school and aged between four and 11 years old, we’d love you to get involved with our brand-new project: My Home is My Museum.

Imagine creating your own exhibition or gallery of artworks inspired by you! What would you like people to know about you? What are the important things in your home that are close to your heart? Who might you paint a picture of? Toys, special outfits, holiday souvenirs and much-loved teddy bears are some of the many things you might wish to include as objects are artworks.

How to get involved

We’d love to hear all about you and your story so let’s get creative! Here’s what you need to do:

• Create a list of up to 10 objects that would be in an exhibition about you - write a short description about each one saying why you think they should be part of your display.

Or:

• Create your own art gallery - draw, paint or make up to 10 of your very own artistic creations that represent the objects or people that are important to you. Write a short explanation of why you chose them.

Then:

• Name your exhibition - keep it simple by naming it after you, or be more inventive!
• Design a poster - every great exhibition has a brilliant poster to go with it, to entice visitors to come and see it. Design something eye-catching!
• Create a promotional video - ask your mum, dad, carer or guardian to help you take a video to promote your exhibition and what it’s all about. It should be up to 60 seconds long, filmed in landscape mode on a smartphone, and then shared on our social media accounts for everyone to see, using the hashtag #MyHomeIsMyMuseum
