If school is closed, please complete the following activities each day to keep your skills sharp and your learning on track.

 

Reading

Daily Reading – 20 minutes

Spend at least 20 minutes reading a book of your choice. This could be an adventure story, a fantasy novel, a crime mystery or a non-fiction text. As you read, think carefully about the characters, the setting and any new or interesting vocabulary you come across.

Writing

Writing Task – Information Text

Choose a topic that interests you (e.g. animals, space, a sport, a famous person, a hobby). Write an information text including headings, subheadings, facts and technical vocabulary. When finished, you can email it to your class teacher or bring it into school when we reopen.

Maths

Mathletics

Log in to Mathletics and complete the tasks your teacher has set for you. Make sure you stay up to date with all assigned activities.

Times Tables Rock Stars

Practise your multiplication and division facts on TT Rockstars. Aim to improve your speed and accuracy each day.

Repeating Print Pattern

Create your own repeating print pattern. You could use everyday objects (sponges, leaves, cardboard shapes) and paint or colouring materials to design a pattern that repeats across the page.

Computing

Touch Typing

Practise your typing skills using BBC Dance Mat Typing. Try to complete a level or improve your accuracy and speed.

Hour of Code

Visit Hour of Code and explore one of the coding challenges. This is a great way to build your programming skills and problem-solving confidence.

Science

Investigate a natural phenomenon. Choose something that fascinates you. It could be volcanoes, electricity, forces, light, the human body, or animal adaptations. Create a short explanation or diagram showing how it works and why it is important. You can present it as a poster, labelled drawing, or information text.

Geography

Explore a place in the world. Pick a country or region you’re curious about. Find out about its climate, landscape, population, landmarks and culture. Create a fact file, map, or short presentation to show what you’ve learnt.

History

Research a historical figure or event. Choose someone or something from the past— an inventor, an explorer, a monarch, a civilisation or a major event. Write a short summary explaining who/what it was, why it mattered, and how it changed the world.
