School Closure Activities!

In the event of a school closure or when pupils are unable to get to school, here are some activities to benefit learning...

1. If there's enough snow, build a snowman. Make sure he has eyes, a nose, mouth, arms and a scarf! Can you make a snowman that is over 1 metre tall? 

    If there's not much snow but a lot of wind, create a kite. Here are two guides to help you. If you don't have some of the equipment, can you improvise by using something else? How high can you make your kite fly?

2. Write a cinquain poem about the weather. Remember a cinquain has five lines. 

The first line is one word
The second the second line has two describing words
The third line has three action -ing words
The fourth has a short sentence (four-five words)
The fifth is another word for the first word (synonym) 

Can you write a cinquain for the wind? the snow? your favourite sport? film? feeling?



3. Practise your time tables. If you feel confident with a times table then time yourself. Try again, can you beat your first time?

4. Practise our song for the Christmas concert:
