Snow Day Activities | St John the Baptist Primary School and Fauldhouse Nursery Class West Lothian

Boys and girls, I have put a range of activities on to your glow page to keep you busy in case of school closures during the winter months!

Practise your times tables either write them down and ask a family member to quiz you, make up a fun way to learn them or use this link – http://www.transum.org/tables/times_tables.asp

Make a visit to the library and take out an interesting book that you can recommend to a friend once you have finished it.

Write a book report for your favourite book, if you need help with this just search for ‘book reports’ on the internet and you will find lots of useful sites.

Invent a fun way to practice your spelling – be prepared to tell the class!

Experiment time! Why not create an experiment about your senses. Choose a range of objects, blindfold a friend or relative and investigate whether they can work out the objects just by using their sense of touch and smell. Got another idea for an experiment?! Write it down and bring it into school!

Practise learning your rights and responsibilities:

When did you start/stop?

How long did you play for.
