Suggestions
Why not make some things that you were learning about
school. How about the different sections of a plant, or the different stages of
a life cycle of your choice? You could use playdoh to help you do your maths by
breaking pieces off to help you count or why not practise measuring and
weighing? Break pieces off and see if you can get them the same weight?
How about making your favourite story character with the
doh and then make up a new story about them? Write it down and draw or take a
picture to share with your friends and teacher when you return to school.
