Home learning – Dear Zoo and more

Tomorrow would have been our school sports day so keep an eye out for our sports day videos. You can join in with all the staff doing lots of different races with your family. Have lots of fun!

 

LITERACY

Have a look at this video of Singing Hands signing the story “Dear Zoo”.

Now let’s do some activities related to this.

We made some snakes and some lion masks. Can you make some too? Or can you thing of another animal in story and make a different animal craft.

We used paper plates of circles of paper and added strips of other colours to make the lion mane.

The snakes we got lots of strips of paper and made a paper chain and then added a face. Mrs Adair did some super folding of the paper to make her snake.

Check out this video where we use a special dice and have to act out the different animal moves or sounds. You can join in too. 🙂

We are now into June and lots of people will be taking part in the annual nature challenge, 30 Days Wild. We want you to do one wild thing each day throughout the whole month: for your health, wellbeing and the planet. They are fun and the ladies will be joining in too. Please watch the video to see first 7 activities.

Save the animals and toys.

Some of the ladies have been using their fine motor skills to save teddies and toys from the bobbles and elastic bands. Mrs Russell showed her using a special loom band board

Ball skills

Can you roll a ball or orange through a some tunnels in your house? Can you kick a ball through tunnels in your house or garden? The ladies have been having a go. Just use anything to create a tunnel paper is an easy option.

Rocket making

Can you make a rocket and see how far it travels? Use a straw, and paper to create your very own. Watch the video to see how to make it and to see how far the rockets the ladies made go.

Sungazers – 1/6/20

It’s June! Hope everyone has been enjoying this wonderful sunshine and is keeping safe!

This weeks task is a cookery one. At the weekend, Mrs Skinner and Mrs  Coulter were busy making ladybird biscuits with their families and thought you would like to join in too – it was great fun!

We have used – digestive biscuits, red icing, icing pens to decorate and any other icing decorations we could find in our cupboards.  Why don’t you have a go too – they were really tasty!

 

We also have a lovely story about a ladybird. It is called ‘What the Ladybird Heard’ and you can find it on Youtube.

Have a great week!

Actions with parents

Hi I hope you’re all well! I’m missing the children loads.
Staying active is important.
some nice weather ideas:

With sand build sandcastles; dig a hole on the beach; build a crocodile on the beach; build a mountain on the beach; build anything you can think of dig tunnels and………..

Destroy your artwork on the beach can be great fun or watch the water take it away with the tide if you plan right. Water: blow bubbles; spray mist water plants make little holes in the lid of a milk bottle so the water comes out slowly. Keep a big bucket handy and teach the children to dunk their bottle themselves to fill back up saves you a bit of running up and down to the tap. Alternatively keep a stack of bottles handy, when they are done game us over.

Have a wet sponge/ balled socks fight; do a target practice ; play catch

Ball: play passes rolling sitting or lying down; pass sitting down; standing up kick; throw; bounce pass; overhead pass; chest pass

Dribble a course; practice on a target

Sheet and balloon. If you put a little water in the balloon it won’t blow away so quickly and behaves funny. Basically use the sheet/towel or cloth to wip up the balloon as you would with a parachute it’s teamwork; wip up and catch; pass to another team ; make rallies or kewpie uppie etc.

Have fun and stay active, healthy and happy!
