Topic Task

We shall be focusing on the Christmas break over the next three days before we start our new topic on Monday.

At Prendergast we are a values school, and we want to reflect on those values to start the new year. We would like the children to create sentences to answer the questions below. The children can record their answers on paper, as a voice message or a video clip to be shared with us. (We will provide more details about how to send these videos or messages to us as we progress.)

Think about the Christmas break

What has been your happiest moment?

What made you excited?

What did you do on Christmas Day?

Following the link below please watch and join in with the Speed Sounds clip. This will be available to start every morning at 9:30am for 24 hours and is a great way to start the day. There are plenty of other videos available on the following link also if the 9:30am lessons are not suitable for you.

Maths Task

Start by counting to 10, to 20 or as far as you can go. (Don’t push too far)

Can you write your numbers to 10, to 20 or as far as you can go?

Below you will find a sheet to complete. The children will need to count the items and show that number in blocks or items from your house. They could draw circles or squares on paper to show their work.
