Numeracy
Our theme this term is Scottish castles can you use kitchen roll tubes to create castles. Places a different number on each castle you make. Then you can play a game, placing the correct number of straws or pencils inside the numbered castle – you could even add flags to the top of each straw/pencil. Have fun. You could also get help from someone in your family to draw a castle with a number on it and place the correct number of toys on top on the castle drawing. You could also create a number line. Draw a castle with battlements then use a toy character to count to 10 and back again moving him along the battlements.
Health and Wellbeing
Put on your own mini Highland games in your house.
Toss the caber – use a cardboard tube for this.
Hammer throw – use a cushion and see who can throw it the furthest.
Catch the Haggis – use a bean bag or a sponge or even an orange. How many times can you catch it before it drops?
Art
Have a look online at different tartan designs. Then have a go of making your own tartan. This can be made drawing lines with pencils, pens or crayons. You could even get messy and use paint. Or you could cut or tear paper into strips creating you own design by sticking them to a piece of paper.
