P1 Easter Activities

Good afternoon P1,

New Easter activities have been uploaded to our P1 Sway. There are lots of suggested activities and websites on here but please don’t feel pressured to do everything and remeber, learning doesn’t always have to take place in a classroom, build a den, go on a scavenger hunt, bake a cake, play a game, create something using lego, blocks, cardboard etc., but most importantly PLAY!!!As we approach the spring holidays please take time to relax, rest and spend time with your families.

Stay safe & take care

P1 Reading

Morning P1,

I hope you are all well, we are missing you all so much and hope you are enjoying learning at home. Here is a word mat which has some words you already know and some new words for you to learn.  You could choose 5/6 words from the word mat and then select one of the activities from the spelling grid to do each day. Practice the same words for 1wk then choose a different 5/6 the next week.

teachyourmonstertoread.com

A fantastic free website that makes learning to read fun. Designed for children in the first stages of reading to aid in recognition and blending. You can create your own monster and take it on an adventure through a magical world where you will meet fun characters, play games and win prizes!!
