Week 7
Looking for things to do at home during the holidays? Our Summer holiday pack is full of fun learning activities for kids, with creative and engaging ideas like games, workouts, crafts and quizzes.
This week you can;
- make crêpes,
- identify birds,
- come up with a jungle adventure.
Create: Crêpes
Crêpes are a traditional food from France. They are a bit like a very thin pancake!
They can be served with sweet toppings as a dessert or savoury toppings as a delicious snack.
Make sure when making crêpes, you have an adult to help you.

Brain workout: Bird detective
Birds are warm-blooded animals with feathers, wings, and a beak or bill. They lay eggs and are the only animals with feathers.
Find out more about birds in the video below and then try out some bird activities.
Have a look at all these different birds from around the world.
Did you know that birds are evolved from dinosaurs.
All birds lay eggs and they can look very different.
They all have beaks, feathers, two legs and two wings.
Most even have special feathers on their wings, so they can fly.
Those birds that don't fly, have other ways to get around.
The ostrich can't fly. Instead it has long powerful legs and it can run fast.
The penguin can't fly either. And it's not too good at running. But they are great in water.
Surprisingly, whether they hang out in the sky, land or sea, they still have lungs and need to breathe air, just like us mammals.
Also like mammals, birds are warm blooded. So usually they'll be able to keep warm, no matter where they are.
Challenge:
Investigate the birds where you live.
- How many different birds can you spot?
- Where might they live?
- Do they sound the same or different?
How many of the birds below can you spot?
Take the quiz and see if you've heard any of the birds songs before
