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)
•
