• Ensure you are having fun with your child whilst learning.

• Children learn through interacting with you and other members of the family.

 

The activities down below are all ideas if you need them. Remember to always follow your child’s lead and interests. If you have an idea for Learning at Home, we are always looking for new ideas.

 

 

1. Another Julia Donaldson story your child might like is ‘The Snail and the Whale’.

2. When making a snack or meal, encourage your child to be involved in the process. Ask your child to get the cutlery or plates. Develop your child’s independence skills by getting them to cut with a knife or to scoop with a spoon.

Above is a link to Cosmic Kids Sit & Stretch. Discuss with your child the benefits of stretching.

Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong and healthy.

 

 

4. Sit on the floor face to face with your child. Have a sing-along with your child. Ask your child ‘What song would you like to sing?’

Here are some ideas for songs – Row, Row, Row your boat, If You’re Happy and You Know it, Wheels on the bus, 5 Little Speckled Frogs, Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes and Ring a Ring of Roses.
