In the event of a school closure due to snow or other unforeseen circumstances, below are a range of activities you and your child could engage in at home to consolidate previous learning:
Literacy
Reading: Pick a movie or factual programme from the television. Complete our classroom activities on this programme.
- Prior Knowledge – What do I already know (before you watch)?
- Visualisation – What picture is in my mind when I read?
- Metalinguistic – Note down any tricky words, then look up the meaning online/in a dictionary.
- Inference – Draw conclusions/make predictions/reflect.
- Main Ideas – Finding the thread throughout the text.

Spelling:
- Using your weekly spelling words, carry out an active spelling strategy such as:

- If you’re really brave go outside and write them in the snow!!!
Your spelling words are updated in your Google Classroom each week. If you do not have access to these do Sumdog Spelling.
Writing:
