In the event that our school has to close due to weather conditions please feel free to use this pack of learning materials.

Literacy

* Read or listen to a book and record any new words you find. Make sure to find out what they mean by using an online or offline dictionary.

* Keep a diary of what you do during your day. Remember to use VCOP strategies to make your writing interesting and be careful with your punctuation!

* Use your spelling words or choose topic words to write in the snow.

Numeracy and Maths

* Try building a snow den. How high can you make it? Find a suitable instrument to measure it? Measure it then draw a plan to record your measurements on.

* Hide an object (toy or book) in your house or garden and write directions for a friend or family member to follow to find it.

* Number spot: How many 4, 5 and 6 digit numbers can you find around your home? Look on food packets, television, magazines, etc. Can you rearrange the digits to make the number bigger and smaller?

* Practise your times tables.

* Access Sumdog or Topmarks on your computer or tablet like you do in school. You will need to remember your username and password for Sumdog. Spend some time working on this.

Other

* Draw what you can see out of the window using any art materials you are allowed to use.

* Create a winter superhero and villain. Draw these characters and write about an adventure your superhero and villain had. Remember to use VCOP strategies to make your adventure really exciting and paragraphs to order your story.
