If the school is closed due to bad weather here are some ideas for learning at home.
- Read every day – swap books with a friend if possible
- Practise any sounds/words in your book bag
- Pracitse spelling words – using different colour pens/pencils
- Keep a diary about the weather and what you have been able to do
- Make your own story/cartoon strip about an adventure in the snow
- Measure the snow in your garden (how deep is it?) and keep a record of it. Display this information in a graph/diagram
- Investigate snow and see how long it takes to melt. Where in the house is warmest/coldest? How much snow would you need to melt to fill a cup/jug/pot/basin/bucket?
- Build a snowman or an igloo and write instructions – include pictures
- Make your own cards – thank you/birthday/Christmas etc
- Use letters and pictures from magazines to create your own art work, poster or notice
- Follow a recipe and make something tasty. Cooking and baking are great opportunities for measuring, counting, reading and calculating time.
- Learn a new skill – knit or crochet,
- Improve a skill
- Play pencil and paper games – hangman, Bingo, beetle, battleship etc
- Play a board game – Scrabble or Monopoly
- Write a review of a book or film
- Listen to the radio or music
- Make a scrap book or personal project about an interest you have and use ICT (if you have access to it)
