Well Oak team, here is another week of activities for you all to try out at home. You are under no obligation to complete, however if you do please leave a comment as we would love to know how you are and if you are enjoying your activities.
I haven’t had any song requests yet, for a new dance. You must have a favourite song you would like to dance to!
Let’s get started with your activities for the week.
Art: 
Shadow Drawing
What do I need? – Chalk, sun and a partner
There has to be more sunshine this week, so get out into the garden. If you have chalk, choose someone in your family to stand and create their shadow. With help draw around their shadow and reveal their outline! If you do not have chalk get some paper, pencil and a toy and draw round the shadow of your chosen toy. Who does this shadow look like?
Lockdown Rainbow
What do I need? – Paint, sticks, paper, paint brushes, (frame is optional)
Again on your daily walk or in your garden can you find more sticks. You could make a stick rainbow picture and put it in a frame as ‘Lockdown’ 2020 keepsake. I will post a finished picture of ours once it is complete but here it is so far;
Literacy: 
Disappearing Words
What do I need? – Chalk, garden hose / squirty bottle and water
Get an adult to write some sight or tricky words on the ground. The adult will shout out a word and you have to identify the correct word and then use your hose or water bottle to make the words disappear. The words can be names of people in your family, people in school, everyday words that you use or hear (bed, toilet, drink, food, etc)
Numeracy: 
Family Bingo
What do I need? – paper, pens, YouTube and your family
If you do not have bingo cards at home, get an adult to put 12 numbers on a piece of paper, (numbers range from 1-90). Get everyone in your family to play, everyone needs a card, then use YouTube bingo caller for the numbers.
Choose a prize before you start the game and see who wins!
Cooking: 
Breakfast Meal– What do you like to eat for breakfast? Cereal? Toast? Eggs?
Every morning this week try and get your own breakfast, on Monday you need help from an adult but maybe by Friday you can do most of it by yourself.
Think about what you need, bowl, plate, spoon, knife, bread or milk.
Here are some faces you will recognise, this is what they like for breakfast;
Life Skills: 
Each week you will have a different focus, this week we would like you to concentrate on making your bed.
IDL – Can you look around your house or garden and find things that could make a den / tent. If you have a tent, put it up in the garden this week and have fun in it.
Music – I hope you are all still singing and signing, each week we will have a different singing hands song to focus on. Find their videos on Youtube and get the family all taking part. From the singing bag a new song will be revealed each week. This week we are going to be singing, Million Dreams! Have fun!
Class pet update – Butterflies
All five not so little caterpillars are doing well, they have almost ate all their food now! They are getting so big, I think it may be time for the next stage of their life cycle! They look as though they are about to get comfy, stop eating and hang on the lid to spin themselves into chrysalis. Once they are in this comfy cocoon this is where they transform into beautiful butterflies. I wonder what colour they will be? Have you made you butterfly pictures and guessed their colour yet? I wonder if anyone will get it right!
