Easter and Spring Activities

Posted on by

Hi everyone,

I hope all is well with you and your family.

Below is a set of activities for the next 2 weeks. The activities are designed to be completed without having to print off worksheets – just using your pencil, colours and copybook. They consist of Easter, Spring and general themed activities.

Butterflies, Conversations and Maths Games!

Posted on by

Hello again!

I don’t know about you but I really wish I was back in school! For now though we have to stay safe at home and keep washing our hands.

Yesterday in the garden I saw my first butterfly of the year so let’s try some Butterfly Breaths! Click on the image below to enlarge it.

 

During this time you might find yourself watching more TV than usual or playing games on the playstation or tablet, etc. But don’t forget to talk to your family too!
Have a look here for some interesting ideas for Conversations.

Have a conversation!

 

It is very important to keep practising your Counting – both forwards and backwards. You can still practise the activities that were in my post last week. This week here are some maths games to try:

Ordering numbers
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/ordering-and-sequencing/chinese-dragon-ordering – order numbers on the dragon from smallest to largest and from largest to smallest
https://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/playYourCardsRight/index.html – guess will the next number be higher or lower

 

Reading numbers

https://www.ictgames.com/postAletter/index.html

 

Number after and Number before
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/chopper-squad – one more, one less

Easter Activities

Hi Class,

I hope you and your family are well. I hope you found the bingo activity I posted last week useful and fun and that you are enjoying trying out some of the activities. By now your watercress and pea plants should be thriving and I trust you are remembering to water and take care of them. Why not take a few photographs of how they are growing? So when we have a chance you can share them with me and the rest of your friends in the class! Keep all the work you have being doing so far as I look forward to seeing some of it when I see you all next.

Keep working away at the activities I shared with you HERE as there should be plenty left to do. Below are some nice links to some lovely fun Easter activities to keep you going alongside your other work until I am in touch again.

Take care of yourself and your family,

Happy Easter,

See you all very soon,

Mr Smyth
