Hi Oak team, Mrs Murray has ran into some technology issues and her laptop has died on her! So apologises for the work this week not being in our usual format.
Thankfully almost everyone has collected your February packs.
It is the week leading up to Valentine’s Day and for the past few years our cupid class have been the delivery service for Willowbank.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide this service this year. However you can still have a think about who you would like to send a special message to.
I would like you to create and design a card for someone. This person should be someone you care alot about, someone who cares for you a lot, makes you feel safe and makes you happy when you feel sad. I would love to see your cards, email me a picture of your cards if you can nicola.murray@eastayrshire.org.uk
This week your home learning tasks are as follows;
Work through this section of initial sounds, can you get the first letter.
Some of you will be able to write each picture in your best hand writing. Some of you will be able to work on writing and forming the first letter of each picture.
Do not forget to sign and finger spell each picture too.
If you are up for a challenge, ask an adult to call out one of the pictures and try and remember how to spell it. 1 point for getting the first letter correct, 2 points for spelling the full word correctly.
Your numeracy task this week is to work on your coins.
Can you ask an adult for all the coins from 1p through to £2. Can you get the bingo money cards from your folder and take on our money challenge.
I challenge you to be blind folded and feel one coin at a time. Ask an adult to help you, they can ask you to think about the size and shape. An adult will remove the coin from your hand, you can remove your blind fold and look at the bingo card. Can you guess which coin you were holding?
Then everyone in the family take a bingo card and play a game, who will be the coin bingo champion in your family!
Time to get moving to keep us healthy. We all need to look after our head. If your head feels happy then you will have a good day. The best way to keep your head happy is to get your body moving every morning before you start your hard work. So you and your family please remember this message from Mrs Murray!
Remember, ‘Healthy Body, Healthy Head means Healthy You’.
To get active, complete the exercises from the sheet below (you will find this in your February pack). Can you complete each exercise for 1 minute with a 30 second rest in between each exercise.
Can you do all these exercises for three rounds, giving you a half hour exercise programme.
Cooking: Have a go at trying to make some oat flapjacks. Get an adult to read the instructions to you. Can you listen and complete each task one step at a time.
Health and Wellbeing
My Body- Your task this week, find the tooth brushing sheet in your folder, cut them all out. Discuss with an adult what is happening in each picture and then stick them down in the correct order.
Once you have created your poster can you pin this up in your bathroom.
Remember to brush your teeth in the morning and before going to bed. This will keep your smile looking lovely and you very handsome!
I want to finish with saying, I am very pleased with how well you are all doing, we all know this is very hard for you and your family. We are all desperate to be back together, have some fun whilst learning and working hard.
Well done Oak Team!
