This week can you make a beautiful collage picture. Cut out pictures from any used magazines, newspapers or old birthday cards and stick them onto a piece of paper.  These can be uploaded to your learning journals by Friday 2nd December.

Next week is our last Christmassy home link.

What an amazing effort you put in to create your musical instruments. They all looked fab!

WEEK 3 – Drawing Portraits

This week I would like it if you could draw a picture of each other. Can you sit opposite your child and draw a picture of their face. Have a discussion before you begin about the colour of eyes/ hair, shape of eyes and length of your hair etc. These wonderful pieces of art can be brought in by Friday 25th November. Thanks.

For next week’s challenge can you please start collecting any used newspapers, magazines or birthday cards.

Thank you to everyone who sent in their videos to my emails. The children have loved watching each other. Sorry it didn’t work on learning journals.

This week’s challenge is nice and easy. Can you make your own musical instrument. This can be made from anything you can recycle and can be brought in by Friday 18th of November. The children can use them in our musical corner and we will have a marching band parade around the playrooms.

Here are some ideas

Hi everyone,

I would like to introduce myself as the expressive arts champion within the Early Childhood Centre and for the next 5 weeks I will be working alongside Tammie who works as our home link champion.  Together we have comprised a programme of fun activities for you and your child to engage in at home.

WEEK 1 

We love a sing song and a boogie within the centre and thought we would start the week off asking the children to record and upload a video to their learning journal of them singing and dancing to their favourite song at home.  These will be played on the large screen in the music area for the children to share with their friends. I’m going home to practice my favourite – George Ezra, to get the party started.  Can you upload your amazing videos by Thursday at the latest please.

**Thinking caps at the ready for week 2 as we will be making some musical instruments, perhaps a good idea to collect some recyclable materials ready for your challenge.

Can’t wait to see your videos.

Over the last month we have had the honour of being able to host a 4 week block of PEEP sessions within the ECC. These have now came to an end and we would like to take this time to thank Alison and Shona who held and lead the sessions and also to the parents and carers who participated with their child. We all had so much fun and wanted to share some of the pictures from over the weeks with you all.
