It is very, very snowy here in Edinburgh boys and girls!

I thought you might like to try some of the activities for World Book Day.

There are some great ideas here :

Reading Challenge 1

Reading Challenge 2

One of the ideas is to read to your pet. I have tried this with Poppy and I think she quite enjoyed it!

You might like to try this as well, if you have a printer. I used to love getting Book Tokens as presents when I was your age.

Book Token Design Competition

Can you make a snow mind map showing some describing words or things to do in the snow?

Hopefully we will be back at school soon and you can show me what you have been up to.

Keep warm and safe, and happy reading.

Mrs Sutherland (and Poppy)

I hope you are all cosy and warm inside.

Here are some suggested activities for you to do.

1. Practise reading your key words – fry’s word list in book bag.

2. We were going to write s story about a journey today. Perhaps you could write about a journey in the snow or about a snowman that came alive!

3. Our phonics sound this week was magic e working with a. Can you create any magic e words in the snow? You could write them with your finger or feet!

4. We have been learning about arrays. Perhaps you could make snowballs and set them out in different arrays!

5. We have also been counting in 10’s off the decade – 32,42 52,62 etc. Can you create your own sequence? Write it in colour!

6. We have also been learning about the history of flight transport this week. Why not build a mode of transport in the snow!

Id love to see your home learning! Take some pictures and bring them to school.

Take care, be safe, stay warm and have fun!

As the school is closed today (28th February 2018) here are some learning activities you could try.

* Write an imaginative story about a snowy day.
* Find out what the weather forecast is-is the prediction correct?
* Help an adult clear the snow off the driveway/path.
* Have a look for footprints in the snow, can you identify where have they come from?
* Measure how much snow we have in the morning and again at night to compare snow fall throughout the day.

* Stay cozy indoors-do some baking, read and follow a recipe, measure out the ingredients, have fun sampling what you make!
* Explore the learning games on www.topmarks.co.uk
* Read/share a story-write a book review/rewrite the story/write a recommendation for a friend.
* Create your own reading quiz to share with the class.
* Be creative-draw/paint/make/take photographs of a winter scene.

Have fun in the snow-build a snowman, igloo or even a snow fort.

The children have been enjoying the better weather by participating in a variety of activities outside. They are building up relationships and developing their gross motor skills.
