For children who are currently self-isolating
Hello all,
Below are a couple of home projects to keep your child busy and learning. These are based on the units of work currently happening in school. As well as the ideas and resources below, please keep up with your reading for pleasure and TTRS.
Projects
Science - pushes and pulls.
- look for things they can push and pull around the home.
- Measure how far a toy could travel over different surfaces, e.g. carpet, lino, wood, concrete
- Find out on which surface it will go the furthest.
- Create a table to record the result
- Make a bar graph
History - Toys
- make their own board game similar to snakes and ladders, with a decorated board, numbered squares and rules.
- Make your own Tops Trump cards (superheros/disney princesses) rate the categories ie. fear factor, beauty, speed, power, kindness...
