About This Holiday Pack
The Foundation Spring School Holiday Learning Pack is a low-pressure 5-day routine designed for Prep and Foundation students. Each day is short (15–20 minutes), calm and encouraging — not a holiday test.
Families complete one session a day. Grown-ups read directions together, let the child try, and stop after about 20 minutes. Help with reading or materials is welcome; the goal is confidence and continuity into Term 4.
5-Day Plan
- Day 1 — Read and respond (short story + questions)
- Day 2 — Word work and purposeful writing
- Day 3 — Number confidence and operations
- Day 4 — Applied maths (shapes, patterns, comparison)
- Day 5 — Mixed challenge and reflection

Teacher & Parent Notes
Use the parent script: “Show me what you notice. Which part can you try? If you get stuck, we will solve one example together.”
Mistakes are information, not failure. Return to one worked example instead of adding extra pages. The purpose is confidence and continuity, not holiday testing.
How to Use the Pack
- Print the PDF (A4 works well).
- Write the child’s name and start date on the cover.
- Complete one short session each day for five days.
- Read directions together; let your child try independently where possible.
- Use the answer key on the last page for quick checking.
- On Day 5, celebrate one success and note one Term 4 goal.
