Atlas Class Everyday tasks  Monday 18^th May 2020 ( 18.5.2020)

 Today and all week we will be doing some active learning .

Having spoken to parents last week, I realised that many children in my class  simply need to do something different. So I am going to suggest 3 FUN activities to try each day.  Hope you enjoy this.

Activity 1- PAPER MAYHEM

Investigate how far you can  throw a piece of paper.

What you need:- several pieces of paper, or old newspaper or old comic/magazine pages

• Do you want to screw it up into a ball?
• Can you make it into an aeroplane?
•  Will you make it into a parachute?
•  Will you simply let it float or fly by dropping it?
• Will you use a tape-measure or foot-steps to see how far it went?
• YOU DECIDE  HOW.
•  Draw a picture of it in your Home learning book  and say/ write what you did.

Activity 2- WATER WORDS

Investigate how many sounds (a-z) you can write in water on the path or wall from one bottle of water.

What you need:-plastic bottles ( look in your recycling) , water, a pavement or brick wall outside

• Do you want to use a big or small plastic bottle?
• Can you write small letters?
• Is it easier to write in CAPITALS?
• Can you write the whole alphabet in order from a-z?

Activity 3 –CLEVER BOX

Investigate  what you can do with a box.

What you need:-boxes, cardboard or any container ( look in your recycling)

• Will you make your box into  a boat?
•  Will it be a mountain for your favourite toy to climb?
•  Can you fit a toy into your box and make it into  a den?
• Can you fit yourself into a box?
• Is it a magical box that can take you places? Where will you go in your imagination? What will you see?  Who will you meet? What happens?
