School is out, the weather has been quite severe and most children are bound indoors for long periods. To avoid boredom, I have listed a few activities which may help those little minds stimulated while they are at home.
For Numeracy, the children have been learning to work out change from £5 or £10 depending on child’s ability level.

How about setting up a shop at home as a role play activity?

Two weeks ago, the P4s were revising on their ability to read time. It would be helpful if they could keep practicing ” telling time” using quarter to/past, half past and o’ clock.

For Literacy, the children have been exploring persuasive writing. You could maybe ask your child to write a letter to an imaginary Viking chief and persuade him/ her to stop their pillaging and colonising ways.
The P4s have also started learning about the features of a newspapaer report. Some children might prefer to write a report on the Vikings’s arrival in Lindisfarne.
Have a lovely week everyone!
