We will continue to update mathletics weekly so that you can earn lots of points and practice your maths skills. Extra tasks for this week and over Easter: 

• Design an Easter egg - use interesting patterns and colour. You can find colouring sheets on the computer if you prefer. 

• Baking / English - Make some Easter Nests using chocolate, rice crispies/shredded wheat and chocolate mini eggs. Write some instructions using imperative verbs and time openers and draw pictures to illustrate. 

• Art - Make an Easter card for a grandparent / family member / neighbour. 

• RE - Complete the RE Easter tasks that were added last week. 

• French - can you find out any Easter words in French ? Can you find out how French children and families celebrate Easter? 

Keep safe and well! 

Keep smiling!
