Easter holidays activities

We hope you all have a lovely break over the Easter holidays. Here are a few suggestions for fun activities you can do with the children over the next two weeks:

Fitness

Continue doing PE with Joe in the mornings, you will feel much better after this and ready for the day.

Choose an activity such as press ups, pull ups, sit ups or planks. Do as many as you can on day 1 then try to beat your score by 1 on day 2 then on day 3 and so on.

Baking

Try some baking with a parent or cooking your favourite food. Here are some simple recipes to try out:

Or why not try making lemonade:

Fun stuff

Play scavenger hunt. Parents to pick items beginning with each letter of the alphabet e.g. an item beginning with a,b,c etc and hide around the room. Children to find the items. Children to then hide. Can the parents find the items in a quicker time.

Try hiding coins from different years e.g a 1p from 2010, a 5p from 2015 and so on.

Try growing some fruit/ veg. Potatoes, carrots, kiwis and apricots are in season. Why not try something new such as asparagus or rhubarb?

Make some paper money and use it to buy food and snack items from parents. This will teach children how to budget. Parents can decide the cost of food and treats.

Make a time capsule and hide it away. You will remember this period of time when you are older and this time capsule will keep your memories safe and in one place. You can download and print one using the following link:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/po5rmhnau24vcg4/2020%20Covid-19%20time%20capsule%20sheets.pdf?dl=0

Science - Added on 25/03/20

Living Things and their Habitats - Flowering Plants

There are a few activities to be completed on Education City.  They can be found in classwork - called Flowering Plants - they will be there until the 25th April, some answers will be available from the 26th of April.  In addition to this the children could keep an Observation Over Time record of what they can see from the window or when they go for their daily walk. There are lots of birds around building nests and the trees are showing lots of signs of growth.   If you can get hold of a flower  they can look inside to see if they can identify the different parts of a flower (daffodils are really good for this).  They could draw the flower and label it or even stick it on a piece of paper with sellotape and label it. If you can't get hold of a flower then you could find one on the internet to copy and label.

Have you completed the Geography quiz yet?

Geography: open this folder to take part in the Geography quiz . Find out about rainforests and send us a photograph of your work through the year 5 email address.

Education City have said that their upgrade has been a success, so please try to access it again.  Please check Classwork for tasks set. Teachers can see who has been accessing their work - well done to those children who have been on last week.  Now it's working properly we expect to see a lot more Year 5 children completing their tasks.
