Reception: Update

Bore da Pawb. It’s another very Wintry day out there so I hope everyone is keeping warm. Did you all have chance to play in the snow and make some memories? I hope so!
Here are a few more activities to keep you busy at home. You could try the Snow day Bingo and see how many you could complete in the snow! 
Maths

For this activity, you will need lots of socks!!!!

Can you write the number down? See if they can measure how many socks long you are too! Who is longer and who is shorter? Repeat measuring a different person or objects from round your house!
