A great little back to school quiz or anytime game encouraging team work, speaking and listening and vocabulary extension. Links to Seasons and Weather. Show the colour page with 28 pictures on.

Some pictures may fall into more than one category such as sun cream - Spring and Summer. Children work in pairs or teams to identify the pictures and sort. They can use the grid template provided to write their answers on either write the season or/and what the pictures show. Alternatively, cut out the pictures and children can sort them under 4 headings. Sheet 3 is the answer sheet, although children may come up with plausible alternative answers of their own.

Design a Bedroom in 10 Steps KS1

(0)
This is a good activity linked to Ourselves and Homes and encourages memory and speaking and listening. Children can reflect on their own bedrooms, their colour scheme and what is in their bedrooms / what they would like. There are 10 sheets here to carefully observe and discuss. Sheet 1 is a black and white basic room and each sheet after that adds something such as colour, decorations, pictures, slippers etc. Finally sheet 10 is the finished bedroom. A good activity is to go from sheet 10 backwards and see if children can spot what has been taken away. Children can use the black and white picture to build up / make a bedroom of their own. They can use fabrics, collage materials or paints/felts to decorate the room. Children could go on to write about Laura, whose bedroom this is, what can they tell about Laura just from observation?
