Get ready to get SILLY!
The Summer Reading Challenge is back with Silly Squad!
It’s almost time for this year’s Summer Reading Challenge, and for 2020 it’s all about funny books, happiness and having a laugh!
The Silly Squad is a team of animal friends who love to go on adventures and get stuck in to all different kinds of funny books. This year, our Challenge features extra special characters designed by the award-winning author and illustrator Laura Ellen Anderson, who you’ll know from amazing reads like Amelia Fang and Evil Emperor Penguin!
You can join the Silly Squad on a new adventure by setting your own personal reading challenge to complete this summer. The new online platform will help you keep track of your books, reviews and the rewards you unlock along the way.
As always, you will find loads of brilliant book suggestions to get you started, and tips on how you can keep reading even while schools and libraries are closed. You will also have heaps of super silly activities, quizzes, videos, games and more to keep you entertained at home!
Silly Squad officially begins here on Friday 5 June 2020.

Bubble Snakes!
What you need: a plastic bottle, an elastic band, a sock that is missing its match, dish soap and food colouring (optional).
What you do: First, ask an adult to cut the bottom of your water bottle off. Next, slide the sock over the bottom of the bottle. Then, use the elastic band to secure your sock. After, pour some dish soap into a shallow container with a little bit of water and gently mix it. You can drop some food colouring onto the sock covered end, too, if you want to add some colour on your bubble snake! Dip the sock covered bubble blower into the solution and gently blow.
Have fun!

Foam paint making!
For the following foam paint recipe you will need some shaving cream, PVA glue and food colouring!
Mix equal parts shaving cream and glue into a ziplock bag, add your desired food coloring and then, with the bag sealed, squish the bag together until all your ingredients are nicely mixed together. Then cut off a corner at the bottom of the bag and use it like you’re piping icing. Once your art has been completed, set it aside so the foam can dry and solidify overnight.
Have Fun!

Let’s create our own board game
Lots of you loved making and playing snakes and ladders with your family. For today’s Adventure in Learning, we’re promoting ourselves to game designers.
In a nutshell, the game works like this: players roll a dice, land on a colour, choose a matching colour card and then perform the task written on the card. The task can be a spelling challenge, rhyming words, math facts and even a motor action.The game is straight-forward, but the possibilities for design and challenges are endless.
Have a look at the link below to explore how to create your very own board game!
