Hi guys! Here are some activities you could complete this week. Please share any photos you have with us! Hope everyone is staying safe – 
Numeracy 1⃣2⃣3⃣
What is the weather like today? 
If it is raining, why not find an empty container (or carefully cut off the top of a plastic bottle) , find a flat surface outside and measure how much water has gathered in the container at the end of the day? (Don’t have a ruler? There’s an App for that!)
Or
Is it sunny outside? 
If you have chalk and a flat surface why not trace round some shadows? You could draw round Mum or have have Mum draw round you! Leave the shadow for exactly one hour then go back to the same spot. Has the shadow changed position or shape?
Life-skills 
Help with the washing by loading clothes from the laundry basket into the washing machine. Can you separate the clothes into their different colours? What about tops and bottoms? How many items of clothing have gone in? How many pairs of socks can you match?
Literacy 
One of favourite books to read in class when winding down is ‘The Dinosaur That Pooped a Planet!’ By T.Fletcher and D.Poynter. Why not listen to the story together (https://youtu.be/a82WeOmE5YM)
And complete a dinosaur craft project together. My personal favourite is making a skeleton out of pasta!
Or try some shower writing. Make a room hot and steamy, take in a mirror and see how many shapes, patterns or letters you can make on the mirror. See if you can guess what each other has drawn!

*BONUS ACTIVITY*
Lockdown Journal! When it is safe to do so, all of us will be able to go back to school. I thought it would be really interesting for us all to have a great big catch up when that time comes. Why not start creating a daily or weekly journal of the time you are spending at home with family? This could take any format whether it be taking a photo a day and storing it in am album or asking an adult to help write a simple diary. I have included a template that you could use or borrow ideas from 
We can’t wait to hear all about what you’ve been up to.
*These templates can be found and download for free on the Twinkl website.
