Further Ideas–
While your child is unable to be at school, here are a few ideas of things they can do at home to continue their learning.....
Practice some mathematics on Maths Buddy or Mathletics. Your child should know their login details, but if they don’t, please email your child’s teacher.
Keep a Daily Diary; write a story and draw a picture, make a list of things you have done (or want to do) while you are at home, have a go at one of the story starters below, email your teacher or your friends.…. the possibilities are endless!
Story Starters:
“If I was Principal I would…”
“If I could travel to school any way I wanted, it would be by….”
“When I grow up I want to be a…”
Have a go at something new for Writing. Once upon a picture– has cool writing prompts with questions (this has collections to select such as: inference, non-fiction, character)
Have a go at Handwriting. You could practise writing your first, middle and last name, the whole alphabet, and this sentence, “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.” As it uses all of the letters of the alphabet (parents, can you please help with correct letter formation for the younger ones). Try writing in cursive or use a fancy calligraphy pen.
Read the books in your Holiday Reading Bag if you have one, and enjoy the Library Books you currently have out, or read from your bookshelf at home. Write a book review or do an illustration of your favourite story (if you are a senior student this could be a digital book trailer– check our Brian Falkner’s website for ideas ). Make sure you continue filling in your Home Reading Diary or Reading Log too! If you haven’t taken it home, create a new reading log on an empty page or on a scrap piece of paper.
