 real ladies day…

Dear Beth and Seth,

8th

March

Today is International Women’s Day! It wasn’t always so easy for women to go to school, find a job or take part in public life and politics. Thankfully, the situation is gradually improving, and so on this day we pay special attention to the women in our lives and show them just how important they are to us.

Sis In a few years’ time, your sister and I will start receiving presents on today’s date.

Maybe now is the right time for me to start saving up?!

My family is made up of my mum, dad, younger sister and me.

My family is a little larger than yours. Along with my parents and sister, my granny also lives with us.

Each family is unique, but our own family is always the best for us. As pretty as a picture! And so with that in mind, let’s make a picture.

What you’ll need: a sheet of white paper, think cardboard, a pencil, coloured crayons, glue, scissors, coloured paper.

2

Cut out the centre from one of the rectangles . (as shown in the picture). Decorate the frame which you now have using coloured paper.

Spread glue over three sides of the back of this frame and stick in to the other piece of cardboard.

3

Divide the strip of cardboard into four equal pieces and . fold it along these lines. Stick the first and fourth pieces together so that you get a triangle. Spread glue on one side of this triangle and stick it to the back of the frame.

Today, you can also: -play a board game with your family.

-go for a walk with your family.

-write a nice little message to everybody in your family.

Draw yourself and your family on the sheet of paper. Slide this picture into the frame.
