If you wish to take part then here are some ideas. I found these things around my house.

Something you can eat:

Something that is soft:

Something that makes a noise:

Something red:

Hi Moonbeams, I hope you are all well and enjoying the sunny weather!

If you would like to take part in an activity this week with a family member,  I thought it would be nice to feed the birds. I remember you all enjoyed this activity in class.

Activity  – Make a bird feeder

What you need: recycled yoghurt pot, string, lard / peanut butter, bird seeds

1. Make a hole in the bottom of the yoghurt pot.
2. Feed a loop of string through the hole and tie a knot inside.
3. Pour the lard/peanut butter and seeds into a bowl and mix together with a spoon or your hands.
4. Scoop the mixture into the yoghurt pot and place in the fridge for 2 hours.
5.  Hang the pot on a tree branch and watch the birds eat it.
6. Listen to Mr Tumble Dicky birds on You tube and try some of the signs.

Hi Moonbeams, we hope you and your families are all well.

Here are a few activities if you would like to take part:

1. Listen to the story ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’.  You can find the story on You Tube.
2. Act out the steps in the garden.
3. Make a cave outside using some materials.

Have a good week everyone!

Hi Brayden, Caden, David, Lee, Ollie and Reagan

We are missing you all very much but we hope you are all happy and having lots of fun at home with your family.

We all have a little message for you …

Hi it’s Miss Mikolajczak here – Its a very sunny day today and I have been outside in my garden watering the plants and playing with Penny the dog, she likes it when I throw the ball and she has to run to catch it. I’ve been busy cooking some yummy meals too like spaghetti bolognese and I even made burgers on the BBQ outside.

Hi it’s Mrs McLaughlin here – I have been very busy playing at being the teacher to my 4 children and doing lots of hard work. We have been baking chocolate cakes, brownies and Mars bar cake. I have been trying hard to go for a big long walk early every morning and I have also been doing some gardening in the sunshine.

Hi its Miss Higgins here – I have been enjoying making lots of nice meals, playing games with my daughter and doing some dancing in the living room.

Hi its Mrs Hunter – I have been keeping busy cleaning the house and emptying all of my cupboards. I have been to Tesco to buy my shopping and I have been listening to my daughter practicing her singing and playing the Ukulele (which looks like a small guitar).

Our Theme this term is The Great Outdoors so we were going to be doing lots of activities in the garden. Here are a few ideas if you wish to do them with your children…

1. Prepare and enjoy a Picnic in the garden
2.  Fun with water

1. Remember to stay safe in the sun

The Moonbeams have had a fantastic science week this week. They have participated in lots of lessons and activities.

The pupils enjoyed working with a partner to make cornflour slime. The children worked together to identify and explore their ingredients before mixing them together. All pupils enjoyed pouring, mixing and touching the ingredients before exploring the slime and some  recognised the change in textures when mixed together.

The Moonbeams have enjoyed exploring and responding to stories this week as part of celebrating World Book Day. The pupils learned some animal and food signs as they listened to stories ‘Dear Zoo’ and ‘Goldilocks and the three Bears.’ The children were able to demonstrate their favourite part by choosing from pictures or signing and speaking the characters names.

This week the Moonbeams enjoyed taking part in some sensory purple activities as well as wearing something purple to celebrate Purple Day. On Wednesday the Moonbeams also helped to present their LGBT Assembly. We spoke about how we are all different and why we should all be proud to be who we are. At the end of Assembly we invited all the classes up to have a little Pride Party. The children enjoyed dancing with lots of colourful props.

The Moonbeams have continued their learning this week through their LGBT Theme. The children were painting and decorating the flag which represents diversity in preparation for their Assembly next week. The class also listened to songs about being different and chose their favourite song to practice and present at Assembly.

This week the Moonbeams made waffles during cookery. They concentrated while pouring and mixing the ingredients together. Some of the pupils chopped up strawberries and used the microwave to make toppings. The waffles were enjoyed by all!

The Moonbeams have been exploring the colours of the LGBT Flag through sensory play. The pupils transferred their cookery skills through play. They were scooping, pouring, grasping and spreading using a variety of equipment in sand, water, foam and water beads. Some children were able to identify colours and objects found.
