I often enjoy taking a few lessons off timetable now and again to complete activities linked to events that are currently going on in the real world.
On the 28th September, the Ryder Cup will be starting and there are a number of opportunities to develop the literacy and numeracy skills of the children using this theme.
I have put together a few resources linked to the competition that will develop literacy, numeracy and numerical reasoning skills.
The activities include:
- A Comprehension Activity
- The comprehension style is based upon the National Tests in Wales
- A Co-ordinates Activity
- Children will place the different players onto a part f the course and identify their co-ordinates.
- The activity is differentiated for 2 / 4 quadrants.
- An Area / Money / Reasoning Activity
- Children will design their own golf hole using squared paper.
- The various different features will take up different sized areas.
- Different parts of the course will cost varying amounts of money, children will be able to calculate the total cost of their hole once completed.
The resources for each activity can be downloaded below.
