❆ Snow Dough ❆

 

With all the lovely snow we’ve had over the last week, what better opportunity to make some squishy snow dough!

Great for developing those fine motor skills, creative skills and even number recognition and following instructions if your wee one helps you follow the recipe 😊

All you will need is;

1/3 cup of vegetable oil

2 cups cornflour

3 teaspoons glitter

Mix the glitter into the cornflour. Slowly add the oil, mixing as you go.  Rub it in like when making pastry.  When it feels smooth and slightly damp, its ready to play with!

Enjoy!  Sarah x

Hi everyone!  I wanted to share this story with you, it’s a really lovely child-friendly way of explaining how mixed up our emotions may feel during this time, and links nicely into the work we have been doing in the ECC around Emotional Literacy.

Lucy in the story has magical hair which turns colour to match the emotion she is feeling.  When she is happy, it turns yellow, when she is jealous it turns green.  And one day when she wakes up, her hair is blue and she isn’t sure why.  Watch the story, then have a chat with your wee one about the different colours, and what emotions could be linked to them, what might cause those emotions etc (there are no right or wrong answers – all discussion will help develop understanding).  Being able to verbalise feelings and giving them the language to do this, is a step towards understanding them and in turn being able to self-regulate and control our emotions, which is important for our ability to learn in a classroom, and just get by in life!

Hope you enjoy the video, I also have the sequel story, Lucy in Lockdown, which I cant wait to read to you all next week 😊

Hello boys and girls so I thought I’d make home learning a little bit more exciting and I thought how about we all try and win some points for our key groups at nursery!
So here is my challenge for today…

I want you to choose one of my 4 indoor scavenger hunt lists to do and today I want to see how quickly you can collect all the items on your list….

Send in your times that it took to complete with how many items you found and the person with the quickest time wins 20 points for their key group! The person in second place wins 10 points and in 3rd place wins 5 points!
Happy Scavenging! Love Leanne S x
