However in the meantime as there are a number of pupils who are currently absent or self isolating the following activities could be completed at home if they are feeling well.

Literacy:

• READ, READ, READ
• Continue to practice common words and phonemes (see tab) Use a variety of spelling strategies and get an adult to test you.
• Be text detectives! Hunt for common words, phonemes, rhyming words  etc in books
• Write a weekly diary entry discussing what you have been doing and how you are feeling.
• Find a news story that interests you online or on tv/radio and write about in in your own words.  You could even draw or print a picture too.
•  Write a mini book. It could be a fairytale, an adventure story or even a comic book.
• Create a new front cover for your favourite book.
• dictionary games, e.g.  get an adult to time you finding words.
• Play ‘Stop the Bus’ alphabet game.

Numeracy:

• online maths games (topmarks.co.uk)
  The class are familiar with this website and should know which games are appropriate for their learning and which aren’t 🙂

Other:

• Still life drawing. Choose something at home to draw i.e bowl of fruit, view from window, garden, etc.
• Personal research about World War 1
• Easter Art. Decorate a hard boiled egg, Easter bonnet, etc.
• Home baking.

I hope you are well and taking care of yourselves and each other. Please keep an eye on this blog as the majority of future learning is likely to be posted here however Mrs McGarvey will advise of this in due course.

Thanks

Miss Laidlaw 🙂
