Good morning everyone! 🤗

Try this lovely idea, you don’t need to go far to collect some stones. Look at the suggested activities in the link below or just enjoy some free play with the pebbles!
Take a picture of your stones and send them to Dee, she’d love to see your number patterns 🐲

We hope you are all keeping safe and well at home.

Have a go at  making your own playdough or using the one with your learning pack to make these words. Send us a picture if you manage!

Ingredients:
1 cup plain flour
1 tbsp. oil
1 cup water
½ cup salt
2 tbsp. cream of tartar
Food colouring
*Double the recipe for larger groups of children*

Method:

1. Pour all dry ingredients, flour, salt and cream of tartar together into a microwave heat proof container, casserole dish or bowl.
2. Add water and oil to dry ingredients. Add food colouring until desired colour is achieved.
3. Mix together using a whisk to remove lumps and blend the ingredients well.
4. Cover and place in the microwave for 2 minutes on high.
5. Remove from microwave and stir with a wooden spoon.
6. Place in the microwave for 1 min, remove and stir to combine. Cook for a further minute if the play dough is still runny.
7. Then turn out onto a clean surface and knead into a smooth ball. Be careful the play dough will be very hot! Use a little bit of flour if the play dough is sticky.
8. Allow the play dough to cool before playing with it.
9. Store in a plastic zip lock bag or air tight container.

A book created by a nurse to help ease children’s fears about the coronavirus outbreak has proved a hit, and has already been downloaded more than 15,000 times.

The free picture book, Dave the Dog is Worried about Coronavirus, features a dog named Dave relaying his anxieties about coronavirus to an owl named Dotty, who is a nurse.

Author Molly Watts, a staff nurse on the paediatric intensive care unit at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, said she wrote the book because she wanted to provide information that was factual and child-friendly.
