Power Off, Learning Outdoors

Good Morning 🙂

This week we would have been taking part in POLO day and completing lots of outdoor learning activities.

Below are some activities you can try at home, in your garden or when going out for a walk.

 

  1. Walk barefoot on grass. How does it feel?
  2. Have an outdoor picnic with your family.
  3. Blow some bubbles and walk through some bubbles
  4. Make colourful drawings on the ground using chalk
  5. Collect some natural material such as flowers, sticks etc. Press them into some playdough or clay, then remove them, to create a natural picture
  6. Create a stick raft and see how far it can travel. Collect lots of sticks and tie them together with the help of an adult. Place your raft in water and give it a little push. Does it float?

Have fun 🙂

Good Morning!

Below are some activities you can take part in throughout the week. Complete the activities at your own pace, choosing which you would like to take part in.

 

  1. Collect some objects and items from around your house. Can you sort them into item which are big and items which are small?                                                                         
  2. Choose a board game to play with a family member. Try to take turns and have lots of fun.

Weekly Activities- 1st June

Good Morning Daisies!

I hope everyone is getting to enjoy the lovely weather we are having again. Below are some activity ideas for the week. You can complete as many or as few as you would like.

 

  1. Use chalk or a wet paint brush to make marks on the ground or pavement. Can you make any letters or write your name?                                                               
  2. Count how many steps it takes you to move from one room in your house to another. Does the number change if you take big steps & little steps?                                                                                                                                               
  3. Can you help your family to make the dinner? Look for different ingredients and stir these in a bowl with support.                     
  4. Create a picture of your family. You could use art resources or different materials you can find in your house or garden.
  5. Stay safe in the sun- help to get ready to spend time in the sun by putting on a hat and sunglasses, and helping an adult to apply your sun-cream.                                                                                                     

 

 

Have fun and don’t forget to send some photos of you completing activities to kris.campbell@eastayrshire.org.uk 🙂

Pillow Forts

Hi everyone! 🙂

This weeks challenge is a family challenge.

 

Build a fort or hide using blankets, cushions and sheets. You can make it small and cosy or big and comfy. Once you have built your fort, get cosy inside and share your favourite book with your family!

 

If you are enjoying spending time outside in the sunshine, you could build a ‘tent’ outside and share a picnic with your family.

 

Mrs Cogswell and her son have had fun putting up a tent in their garden and created some art using things they found in the garden.
