Good Morning P1-3! Here is your Fun Friday Challenge.

Your challenge today is to create a new Little Miss or Mr Men character. Draw a picture of them with their name underneath. Remember to share your picture on your Learning Journal.

Have a lovely weekend and we hope that the sun shines!

Welcome to Wednesday P1-3 😎

Here we are at the middle of May already!  It is time for you to become a pirate and hide some treasure.  Can you choose a treasure, maybe a coin or some of your jewellery, to hide somewhere in your house or garden (but don’t tell anyone where 😉).  Then, can you draw a map using a starting point and putting an X for the treasure?  Ask someone in your house to use the map to try and find the treasure.  Maybe they could then make a map for you to follow if they have time.  Have fun mateys! We would love to see a picture of your map on your Learning Journal if you’d like to post it.

Good morning P1-3,

Tuesday’s challenge is “Excellent electricity”. Find all the things in your house that use electricity. Make a list of all the things that you find. You can either illustrate or write the items that you find.

If you could keep only one item, which would it be? Why?

We hope you have a fun-filled day😊!
