Thursday – Vacuum a room – we have done this in school, can you vacuum a room or the whole house on your own?

Friday – Make lunch – See if anyone would like a sandwich. What fillings were favourite choices?

Saturday – Clean out the fridge – talk to your family about healthy choices. You can use the traffic light resource to see what is healthy and what is a treat.

Sunday – Clean the windows – we have done this in school. Can you clean the windows leaving them spotless?

Monday – Play a game – We have done this in our PSD lessons. Take time with your family and have fun.

Following on from the VE day celebrations, have a go at making a war time carrot cake.

Ingredients were rationed during the war and sugar was hard to get hold of. Carrot cake was made because the carrots act as a natural sweetener.

You could research other war time recipes and have a go at making a few.

Friday 8th May marks the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe day.

Use the activity sheet to help you prepare a stay at home street party for you and your family to enjoy!
