ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING

Students can design a logo and a slogan. Focus should be on how these make sense together. E.g. a relaxing product won’t be advertised with sharp lines and harsh colours. Think about how the shape, colour and adjectives fit together to make the audience feel what the product will be like.

 

Students can publish these on paper or digitally.
