Reading
We are going to read another Aesop’s Fable (a story that has a message in it). Listen to Miss Harker read and talk about the story below : https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cYhIXLg944
Topic – Royal competition
The Duchess Of Cambridge and the National Portrait Gallery have launched a project to find a photographic portrait, taken during these extraordinary times, which responds to one of the following themes:
- Helpers and Heroes
- Your New Normal
- Acts of Kindness
One hundred shortlisted portraits will feature in a virtual exhibition on the Gallery’s website and a selection of images will also be shown across the UK later in the year.
The project is completely free and open to all ages and abilities. Images must involve people, and can be captured on phones or cameras. Each image will be assessed on the emotion and experience it conveys rather than its photographic quality or technical expertise. The closing date for submissions is the 18 June 2020.
