Thursday 26th March
Activity 1: Go on a hunt around your home, find 10 items and lay them out in front of you. Draw a table with the headings, ‘Object’ and ‘Estimate’. Write down each object, then estimate how much each item would cost. When finished, add the items together using column addition, what is your total? (You will need to do several calculations, don’t try to add them together in one go and remember your decimal points).
Challenge: Using the internet, see if you can find out how close your estimate was to the actual cost of each item (if you can’t find the exact item, find one similar, or ask an adult how much each item would roughly cost). Write down the actual cost and differences next to your estimates.
Activity 2: Create your own nature poem. If possible go outside, if not, look out the window. What nature can you see? See if you can include at least three of the following from this list: rhyme, personification, alliteration, descriptive vocabulary, simile, metaphor, onomatopoeia.
Activity 3: Use the internet to research modern day Greek food. Create your own Greek menu, containing a starter, main course and desert. Remember to decorate your menu to make it appealing and ensure you describe your food in a mouth-watering way. Tip: Use lots of adjectives!
Optional Challenge: Choose a short reading book, go outside in the garden and find a nice spot, sit on a blanket and read your book aloud. When finished, write a summary or tell an adult a summary of what happened in the story.
