Winter Weather School Closure Learning Pack – Primary 6

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.

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

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

Numeracy and Maths

* Number spot- How many 4 and 5 digit numbers can you find around your home? Look on food packets, television, magazines, etc. What is the biggest number you can find?

* Try building a snow den. How high can you make it? Find a suitable instrument 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.

* Practise 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

* 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 V-Cop strategies to make your adventure really exciting and paragraphs to order your story.
