KS1 Easter Home Learning

We know things are very different for you right now and we wanted to give you some fun challenges to do at home during your Easter break! You can do more than one challenge a day should you wish (and if some days you need a break-you can catch up on other days) Don’t worry about completing all of the challenges, this is for you to have some fun and have a bit of a break from learning. Send in pictures for the blog, let your friends see what you have been up to.

More gorgeous rainbows!


I have been sent even more gorgeous rainbows by this lovely lot! It certainly puts a smile on my face when I see them so I can only imagine how it makes key workers feel as they walk past your homes! 🌈 On Friday, I will share our rainbow video, so you still have a few days to send yours in to be featured!

Song Challenge

How about getting your vocal chords warmed up and taking part in our song challenge?

We would like to join in with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s challenge to sing Any Dream Will Do and see our children perform the song.

So, can you practise the song ‘Any Dream Will Do’ from Joseph using the youtube backing track (link shared on this blog) and then get your grown up to film you performing it.

Send your videos to [email protected] and we will make a compilation, as well as share with Andrew Lloyd Webber! (Grown-ups – Please only send videos if you are happy for your child to be seen online.)

Not sure of the words? Here is a link to the lyrics! https://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/josephandtheamazingtechnicolordreamcoat/anydreamwilldo.htm
