Question: What is a holiday?
Listen, think, share
A holiday is a break from school or work. We are all different so what we do and where we go on holiday is different. It is important to find time to relax and enjoy ourselves wherever that may be!
Activity 1When we go on holiday, we often pack a suitcase with the things we need.
Activity 2: Explain that if you travel on an aeroplane to another country, your suitcase has to be a certain size and a certain weight so they can fit it on. The length of the suitcase is usually measured in centimetres and the weight is usually measured in kilograms. British Airways have a maximum suitcase length of 90cm.
Listen, think, share
- Write the word ‘holiday’. What does this word make you think of? Have you ever had a holiday? Did you go somewhere? Where was it? How did you get there? How long was your holiday?
- Look at resource 1, where some children tell us about their holiday. Do you think all of these are holidays? Have you ever had a holiday like any of these children?
- Focus on some of the activities the children in the resource have done on their holiday e.g. swimming, playing on the beach, visiting a museum, going to the cinema, sledging, playing in the park. What would you enjoy doing?
- Explain that a holiday is a period of time when you can relax and enjoy yourself away from home and you do not have to work or go to school.
- Do we use the word holiday to describe anything else? Have you heard of anyone say, ‘It’s the start of the summer holidays next week!’? When we don’t have to go to work or school, we can say we are taking or having a holiday, even if we don’t stay away from home.
- Think about some of the activities you do during the school holidays. What did you do? Where were you? Who were you with? Did you enjoy them?
- Have you ever had a holiday that you did not enjoy? Do you think everybody likes holidays?

Activity 1When we go on holiday, we often pack a suitcase with the things we need.
- What might you need to pack when you go on holiday?
- Are you going somewhere hot or cold?
- What will you need to take in your wash bag?
- Do you have anything special you need to pack e.g. a toy or a teddy?
- If you could only take one item on holiday with you, what would it be?
Activity 2: Explain that if you travel on an aeroplane to another country, your suitcase has to be a certain size and a certain weight so they can fit it on. The length of the suitcase is usually measured in centimetres and the weight is usually measured in kilograms. British Airways have a maximum suitcase length of 90cm.
- Can you find anything in your classroom or at home that is about 90cm?
- Measure the length of a bag or suitcase, would you be allowed to take it on the aeroplane?
Maths Booklets
Some children have completed the number booklets so I have now added the operations booklets. (- + x /) Again these are really thick booklets I would suggest doing maybe 2 pages a day. So these would take a couple of weeks to complete.
