Hope you are all well and enjoying your snow days.

Here are a few activities you can be busy doing at home

Literacy:  Write sentences about winter using connectives and,but, so and because.  Make them as interesting as you can. Draw and colour a picture to match your sentence.

Numeracy: Practice addition and subtraction sums by rolling 2 dice.  If you do not have any dice at home why don’t you try and recall number bonds to 10 and 20.

You can also practice you addition and subtraction skills using the Topmarks game Hit the Button.

IDL:  Use your internet research skills to find out the temperature in Aberdeen, Inverness, Glasgow and Bathgate.  Which is the coldest? Which is the warmest?

P2B- Please remember to practice your lines for assembly on Friday!
