Hello everyone!

You have adapted so well over the past few weeks, well done! I can’t wait to see you when we get back to school!

In the meantime, here are some fun ideas that will keep you busy this week!

Literacy – LGBT Month

As it is LGBT month, here is a great story that shows that we are all wonderful and unique. The story below “No Matter What’ explains to us that we are loved as we are. There are a few animals mentioned in the story.

Can you point to the grizzly bear, the squishy bug and the crocodile?

Numeracy – Counting Songs (1-10)

In class, we love to sing along to counting songs. Here are a few favourites which I know you all love. Try to say the numbers aloud if you can.

How many fingers???

This song is a firm favourite in the Sunflower’s class! Use your fingers to count along. Stomp your feet to the music and clap along too.

Health and Wellbeing – Disco Dough

Disco dough is a great sensory activity which gets your arms, hands and fingers moving. It is brilliant for fine motor development and you can use anything from some play dough to blu tac or a soft toy. Play the disco dough videos below and follow the instructions to get moving. This activity can also be very relaxing.

STEM – Marshmallow Tower

Finally, can you build a tower from spaghetti and marshmallows? Enjoy a tower challenge and make sure your tower is strong enough to stand tall. You can even eat the marshmallows after you have finished! I have added some examples below to help you.
