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 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. Use some VCOP strategies to make your writing interesting.

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

Numeracy and Maths

* Number spot-collect numbers around the house. Look on food packets, television, magazines, etc. What is the biggest number you can find? Can you rearrange the digits to make the number bigger and smaller?

* Try building a snow den. How high can you make it? What can you use to measure it? Measure it and explain your measurements to someone.

* 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.

* Count any money in your home.

* Practise your oral counting. Now count in 2s, 5s and 10s. Try starting from different starting points.

*Work on your times tables.

* Access Sumdog/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
