* Keep a diary of what you do during your day.

* Write your common words or choose some topic related words and write these 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?

* 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.

* Try making a cube, cuboid, cylinder, sphere, cone, pyramid and prism shape using snow. Can you find any of these shapes around the house?.

* Count any money in your home.

* Practise your oral counting (forwards and backwards, from any number) and/or 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.
