The learning hub has stories and activities, for nursery and school children.

What do you do to keep safe? What did Ziggy say? Draw a picture or ask someone to write down what you have said. We like to hear what you have been learning. Feel free to send us your message, or a picture of your drawing.

This week all the activities have been supporting our attention and listening skills.  Here is a story about Howard B Wigglebottom, what happens when he doesn’t listen and how he learns to listen.  Listen and watch the story and see if you can find the correct pictures at the end, to show when he is listening.  Have a great weekend, I will have another story for you next week.

How to make welly plant pots – you will need 

old wellies (preferably ones you can no longer pass on!)

stones

compost

a drill of sorts

and of course seeds or small plants

How to make welly plant pots:

Like with all recycled containers that you use as plant pots, you will need to create a “drainage” system. You don’t want water logged plants. So..

1. Begin by drilling a few holes on the bottom of your welly. Of course adults should do this.
2. then fill with some stones or broken pot pieces. Take care NOT to clog up the holes
3. Fill with compost.
4. Plant your seeds.

Your wellies can either be free standing or hung up!

why not try to create your own snack to look like a pet!

I would love to see all your snack ideas. Email me: eanatalie.speirs@glow.sch.uk

We are learning that we eat different foods at certain times of the day & that we all have different tastes.

Talk about what you like to eat…For breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack?

Draw a picture of your favourite food. Why did you choose that one? Ask other people in your house what their favourite food is?
You may wish to email a picture of your drawing, or a video clip of you telling us about what you like to eat/favourite food.

Engineer with Marshmallow Shapes
Develop engineering skills while constructing basic shapes out of toothpicks and marshmallows. You can build shapes using the marshmallow as a connector to hold the toothpicks together. Challenge your child to invent new shapes or build three dimensionally. Make a castle, or a car! Get creative.
