Easter Home learning Challenges
Friday – Mrs Carter’s Challenge
This doesn’t have to be done with a matchbox. Any small box will do. I’m going to use a stock cube box.
Or go large and use a shoe box!
Just be VERY careful around matches.

Thursday – Mrs McDermid’s Challenge
Wednesday – Miss Young’s Challenge
Monday – Mrs Carter’s Challenge
How good a spy would you be?
If you have a good memory, you will make a good spy. Who would be the best spy in your house?
How to play:
Gather some objects together. Just a few at first. Look at them for about 2 minutes then cover with a cloth. The person who can remember the most is the winner.
OR
Take turns to remove an object and mix the others up. See who can spot what is missing.
Friday – Mrs Mavin’s Challenge
Make some Noise!
Thursday – Miss Dews’ Challenge
Create an Easter themed character. Use whatever you can find: pens, pencils, crayons, chalks, paint, junk modelling materials, fabric, natural materials, food, etc. You could make the Easter Bunny, a chick, a chocolate monster – be creative! I’m looking forward to seeing what you create!
Have fun! (And Happy Easter!)

Wednesday – Mr Thompson’s Challenge
For all those who enjoy the challenge of throwing crumpled paper at a target, here’s a fun, easy game the whole family can get involved in.
Create some different targets, however many you want.
Assign each target a different number of points, the harder the target, the more points you get. If you really want to challenge yourself, try using multiples of 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100!
Crumple up some paper to use as a ball (or use a real ball if you’d like to).
Throw your ball at the targets and see who gets the most points. Make sure you’re practising your addition skills while you go.
You can play as many times as you like and as often as you’d like. Make sure to send us pictures of the whole family involved on Facebook and try and beat the grown ups you live with!
Ideas for targets:
bowls, plates, paper laid flat, vases, lunch boxes, cups, hoops and anything else you can think of
Tuesday – Mrs McNeill’s Challenge
I am really missing OPAL, so my challenge to you is to build a den at home! This can be indoors or outdoors. Use whatever you can find to build a structure that you can sit in. Bonus points if you have space for your brother/sister/parent!
Have fun!

If you want more, try these –
Fork Stacking Challenge
How tall can you stack forks before they fall over? Grab all the metal or plastic forks you can to complete this challenge. Make sure all your forks are the same size and made from the same material.
- Start by placing one fork face-down on a flat surface.
- Stack the next fork so the pronged part is on top of the handle from the first fork.
- Continue alternating the direction of the forks.
- For your tower to count, it must stand on its own for five seconds.
Time Capsule
This is a brilliant idea for the children to do while off school. They are living through a huge historic moment and a time capsule is a perfect and fun way for everyone to remember and relive these moments. Click here to go to time capsule worksheets on Facebook

Phonics
At Collierley Primary we use Letters and Sounds to teach phonics. Our children are also familiar with using many of the Jolly Phonics actions. This site has been specifically amended to support home learning:

Audible
This is amazing! All children’s audiobooks, suitable from the very young, are available for free while schools are closed. No need to register, just click and play.

Maths
You might already be familiar with Numberblocks. This site can be used with younger children (it’s good fun for those of us who are older too).
https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/grownups/help-your-child-with-maths
This site is already used in classrooms in Collierley. The children love the games. They are suitable for 5 to 11 year olds.
