Good morning everyone,
Please see today’s activity choices below:
Option 1 (daily activity) – Early Level
Senses scavenger hunt: hear
Make a list of a-z on a piece of paper and go for a walk outside with a family member(s); note down all the things that you can hear that begin with letters of the alphabet e.g. b – bird.
How many did you manage to get?
Option 2 (daily activity) – First Level
Sentence scavenger hunt: hear
Go for a walk outside with a family member(s) and notice all the things that you can hear. When you get home, write down five sentences that include a full stop, capital letter and connectives e.g. and, so, but, then.
Option 3 (week long activity) – First Level and beyond
Summary
Each day this week, you are going to choose a different news item to research: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround.
Read the article and then write a summary (the key points) of what it is about. Remember to include the following:
- Who?
- What?
- When?
- Where?
- Why?
Include no more than five bullet points. Ask yourself: will people be interested or is my message too long to read? Remember to stick to the key points.
After your writing, discuss the key points with a family member. Ask what their opinion (what they think) is and explain your own viewpoint. Try to give at least one reason for your opinion.
