Here are some suggestions for project homework. Try one of these or something else project related.

Homework is due in on Friday 4th July.

• Design and create your own bright and colourful carnival outfit. Use old clothes, unwanted fabrics and any other fabulous decorations such as feathers or sequins.
• Retell the story of ‘The Umbrella’ by making a comic strip or making your own book.
• Make a fact file about Rio di Janeiro, The Amazon Rainforest or the Amazon River.
