Good Morning!
Happy Monday to you all. We hope you are all safe and well and managing to keep positive during these difficult times.
We hope we will all be back learning together soon.
What’s the weather like today?
The following song is one we use in class. Play it and talk about the weather. Hopefully it’ll not be raining!

Literacy
This week we develop our writing skills again. Let’s try sensory writing using our finger or a stick: use shaving foam spread out on a tray or table-top or use a light dusting of flour, sand or salt.
To mark LGBT month, here is a lovely story told by Singing Hands about differences: 
Feel free to do any of the other reading or writing activities from previous weeks too.
Numeracy
Counting activities:
Use a pointing finger to touch each item, for example, count how many shoes you have. Can you sort them into groups? How many have laces? How many have Velcro fastening? How many have buckles? etc.
Play the following game on Top Marks.

Select ‘Numbers to …’ rather than ‘words…’ Hand over hand help can work here too. 
Health & Wellbeing
This week you can try making your own cakes and pizzas using the My World Kitchen online game on CBeebies.

After you have made those delicious treats online, you can then have a go at washing dishes at home to help out (which is an excuse to splash about in some soapy water). You could even wipe down the kitchen surfaces or sweep the floor. I’m sure there’ll be some Snowdrops who’ll love this activity! 
Outdoor Learning
When it’s cold and frosty outside, the wee birds need us to help them find food so this week we will make our own bird food to give the birds in our gardens.
Follow these links and you will find a variety of bird food ideas depending on what you have in the house:
