Do an Easter Egg hunt in the garden…

This year we may need to be even more creative and use what we can find around our homes to make some Easter art.
Be as creative as you can!
Ideas we have seen in the past are: junk modelling an Easter scene, decorating boiled eggs, making an Easter hat or creating a picture using different materials.
To enter, either upload a photo of your entry to the Facebook post with your child’s initials and class or email your entry to Mrs Kiernan at: c.kiernan@theviewtrust.org.
P6 Easter activities!
It is very important during this time, when things seem very different, that you look after yourself and talk to someone if you feel a bit sad or worried about anything.
In P6, every morning we greet each other and tell each other how we are feeling, you can keep this up at home and let a family member know!
Inside Out is a great film to watch to explore your emotions further.
A lot of people are painting rainbows and putting these in their windows, this is something you could do to brighten up your street! Some people are also placing teddies in their windows so that children can see them if they go for a walk.
If you have a garden there are lots of things you can do outside to enjoy the sunshine! You could take a book or have a picnic, have a look at some of the ideas below.
Alternatively, there are lots of things to do inside too!

Addition and Memory Game
Using a pack of cards, take out the joker card and the King cards.
Find pairs that make 10 (Jack = 10, Ace = 1, Queen = 0)
Place all the cards face down on the table.
Take it in turns to find pairs that make up number bonds to 10.
If you don’t have a pair, put the card down in the same place.
The person with the most pairs at the end is the winner!
