Question:What is a statue?
Listen, think, share
Reflection
A statue is often made of stone or metal and usually shows people and animals. There are many different statues, that are positioned for many different reasons.
Activity 1:
Choose one of the statues from resource 1, find another picture of one or use a statue found in your local area! Describe your statue. Think about:
Listen, think, share
- Write the word ‘statue’. Have you heard of this word before? Have you ever played musical statues or has anyone ever told you to stand still like a statue?
- Explain that a statue is an object made from a hard material, usually stone or metal. They are often of people and animals and are life-size or larger.
- Look at resource 1, which shows some examples of statues. Have you seen a statue before? Who or what was the statue of? Where was the statue?
- Some statues are famous and show people who have done something or achieved something that is recognised by many people such as the statue of Amy Johnson. They are put in public places, where anybody can look at them.
- Look at the statue of the lion, which is found in somebody’s garden. Why do you think someone would have a statue in their garden? Might it be because it looks nice or it has a special meaning to them? This statue is not in a public place so is just for the person living in this home and their guests.
- Do you like statues? Why/why not?

Activity 1:
Choose one of the statues from resource 1, find another picture of one or use a statue found in your local area! Describe your statue. Think about:
- What the statue is made from? Metal, stone?
- Can you describe the material? Cold, hard?
- Is the statue a person, an animal or something else? What are they doing?
- How would you describe their eyes? Staring, unblinking, happy, sad, lonely?
- When you look at the statue, how does it make you feel?
Record your ideas. If you can, use them to write a sentence or paragraph to describe your statue.
- Can you pretend to be a statue?
- What will you wear?
- What position will you stand in?
- How long can you remain still for?
- Can you time it?
Explore different statue poses. You could photograph your poses or record them by drawing them afterwards.
Maths Booklets
Some children have completed the number booklets so I have now added the operations booklets. (- + x /) Again these are really thick booklets I would suggest doing maybe 2 pages a day. So these would take a couple of weeks to complete.
