Primary 1 Snow day

Hi Primary 1! We hope that you are having lots of fun out playing in the snow! Here are a few more ideas of activities you can get up to whilst you are off school. Please remember that these are only suggestions and we don’t expect you to do them all (unless you really want to!)
1. Read or watch some of these snowman stories:
Sneezy the snowman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJqX9bNCX1s
The snowman http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/short-stories/the-snowman (you can also complete the related games and activities
Olaf the snowman https://www.storyjumper.com/book/index/17728918/untitled#
After watching these stories see if you can tell the story back to an adult in as few sentences as possible. Can you draw your favourite part of the story and tell someone what happened and why it is your favourite part? Can you find any other snow related books in your house? Why don’t you try writing your own snowman story using as many wow words as possible!
2. Make a sock snowman. All you need is a white sock, uncooked rice, a coloured sock for the hat and ribbons/ buttons/ pens to decorate! Here are some instructions to follow https://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/video-zone/make-sock-snowman
3. Go on a winter walk and see how many numbers you can find (door numbers, car registration numbers, road signs etc). Why don’t you take a picture of all the numbers you see?
4. Practise writing your ‘th’ words from time your climb in the snow. Or if you’d prefer to stay inside why not try making them out of playdoh, writing them in paint or using pens to write them in rainbow writing. Can you think of any other th words not of the sheet?
5. Create a dinosaur factfile of a dinosaur we haven’t learnt about in class. Use the internet or dinosaur books you have at home to find some interesting information.
6. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/english-games/5-7-years/letters-and-sounds This website has a number of phonics related games you may wish to play.
7. Keep active by playing outside or following these online videos:
