Activity - Make your own Vlog
Today, we want you to combine the skills you have been learning to make a Vlog that will teach someone how to do something.
It might be about planting a seed like the one I did or, something completely different like -
- How to tie your shoelace
- How to make a paper aeroplane
- How to make a sandwich
- How to draw a rabbit
- How to do a plait in your hair
Whatever you choose, make sure that it teachers someone a new skill
What do you think you will need to do first?
Thats right, first you will need to think about where you will make the vlog and make sure it is tidy.
What will you need to do after that?
Yes, collect all the things you need to make the vlog
Next, you need to think about what instructions you will tell the people watching. You could write these down so you don't forget.
What will you need to remember to make sure everyone can hear and understand you
Look at the camera, smile, clear loud voice, clear instructions and demonstrations. Hold the camera still.
Have fun - and remember to send us your vlogs.
Don't worry if you don't get it finished today - we are carrying on with the activity tomorrow

The holiday will form part of a three-day weekend of commemorative events on the 75th Anniversary.

If you enjoy some quiet time colouring, have a go at the VE Day colouring sheet.
If you have the resources available and your parents are happy for you to, why not celebrate by creating some bunting to hang up? You could print out the example and colour the Union Flag or be even more creative and design and make your own bunting.
