Hello Snowdrops , hope you have all enjoyed this fantastic weather and been sun safe . This week in school would have been sports day on Tuesday  . All the staff teams have made some race videos and will be shared tomorrow  for you all to watch and hopefully create some races at home .
As always we have some task for you to complete if you wish .
Activity 1 – size sequencing 

This activity involves using household items and putting them in an order from smallest to biggest ,  use any items that you can think of . I have included some examples I used spoons , pot lids or could use the actual pots , towels , clothes eg t shirts for everyone in the house or shoes .

Activity 2 – floating and sinking 

Some science next , we all love to play with water so let’s try and gather some items , anything at all . Fill a bucket, basin or if you have your paddling pool out can use it and drop the items in one at a time and see what floats and what sinks . If you have an orange try using it and see what happens if you drop it in the first time with the skin on , then get a grown up to help peel it and try again . Was there any difference ?

Activity 3 – Moon sand
Why don’t you have a go at making your own sand you only need three ingredients .

4 cups of flour

1/2 cup oil ( vegetable or baby oil )

food colouring ( optional )

Add the flour to a bowl and add a few drops of food colour if you wish .
Next pour in the oil to the middle of the bowl , you now need to mix it together so either use a spoon or get your hands in and squeeze it all together .
once mixed put it on a tray or container that you can use to play with it .
You can make shapes if you have cutters or like we do in school practice drawing letters or numbers in the sand with your finger .

We have been loving the photos of you all working so hard and enjoying time with your families. Keep up the good work everyone all the ladies are very proud of you all .

Hello snowdrops , in school this week we would have been doing lots of fun activities using different types of technology. This isn’t so easy to do at home but we will as always try to ‘Be the best we can be’.

So I have tried to come up with a couple of activities you can do as home ,but you will need to ask a grown up to help as you will need a camera , camera phone or iPad .
Activity 1 

When  you are out for your daily exercise try looking to see if you can find Some or all of the scavenger hunt list I have made . ( take photos )

A blue car

A tree

A postbox

A flower

A bin

A animal (  ,  ,  ,  etc )

A sign

something round

something square

something in your garden

something that makes you happy

Activity 2 

look around your house and see if you can find items with the same initial letter of your name ..( take a photo ) if that’s too easy then try doing it for everyone in your house .

Mine would be the letter ‘M’ – money

Activity 3 

Have some fun on the CBeebies app and watch some Peter rabbit or play some Peter rabbit games .

Hello Snowdrops!

In class, we always enjoyed doing some yoga with Moovlee the Monkey.

Our favourite yoga video was always making shapes of the letters of the alphabet. Here are some photos of us doing yoga in class, do you remember?

This week, let’s do some alphabet yoga again with Moovlee!  You can do yoga indoors or outside, if it is sunny.  If you don’t feel like doing the yoga, you can just have fun watching the video.  All the ladies in the Snowdrops Room have been doing the yoga too.  Can you guess what letter of the alphabet we are showing?

Here is the link for the Moovlee Alphabet Yoga video –              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0RUN0e3ZGY

We would love to see any photos of you doing some yoga Snowdrops!  Stay safe, missing you all.

 

Hi everyone , hope you are all well and enjoyed last weeks task and you are looking after Peters seeds well.
The weather hasn’t been so nice this week but hopefully you are still keeping busy .
Anyway this week challenge is a creative one . Sticking with our theme I challenge you all to make a potato person , just like ‘Mr potato head’ only better ! So use anything you like to decorate it and ask a grown up to help you with tricky bits , you can use fruit , vegetables , flowers , twigs , arts and crafts supplies just experiment and see what you like … remember a good place to start is to look in a mirror at the features you have like a nose eyes , ears and mouth ,then try and give you potato person the same .

To help you out I asked all the ladies in the class to make one for you all to see . What you think ? Do they deserve a thumbs up ?

As always if you complete the task send a photo to Mr Campbell and he will let us see them or put them on the blog .

*SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT *
This week in the Snowdrops we have a birthday girl . So all the ladies would like to wish Rachel a very Happy Birthday for Thursday xx enjoy your celebrations

 

Hello Snowdrops!

We’ve been enjoying lots of sunny weather and it’s good fun to play outside, but we must remember to stay safe.  Here are some photos of what we all need to do to stay safe in the sunshine.

Can you find – Mrs Brown with a sun?  Miss Kelly with her hat on?  Miss Taylor drinking some water?  Mrs Johnstone with her sun cream?  Mrs Collins wearing her sunglasses?

Have fun in the sun Snowdrops and stay safe!  We miss you all!

Hello Snowdrops,

hope you have all enjoyed the sunshine over the weekend. I know I certainly did and spent time in my garden.
This weeks challenge is being delivered from the postman. So watch for the letters coming through your door and find an  envelope with your name on it .
Inside you will find a letter and this weeks task .
All I’m going to say is Peter Rabbit needs your help and you might end up being green fingered !!

Have a good week Snowdrops and as always everything is optional but we would love to see some photos of your beautiful smiles

This weeks challenge Snowdrops is a cookery one. I know how good you all are in the kitchen , you follow the recipe , look for the numbers on the scales or measuring jug, you have strong arms for mixing /pouring and  great co ordination for scooping into cases. So it’s time to have fun ..

Hi everyone hope you have all been enjoying the lovely weather we continue to have . I hope you all managed a listen to our theme story last week and are looking forward to this weeks task, should you wish to do it.
This week I thought it would be fun to do some painting with a twist . I want you to look in the fridge and see what vegetables you could use as a paint brush , carrots and celery work well  !! Alternatively I thought when you are out your daily walk or in your garden you could gather some twigs , leaves , flowers anything really and then make ‘nature paintbrushes’ . I will put a couple of photos at the end of the blog.
To add to the fun I also thought we could make our own paint . To do this is easy you can either collect coloured things from your garden like grass , flowers , mud , if you grow fruit even strawberries , beetroot anything put it in a bowl ( each one separate ) and mash with a stone or hands then add some water and paint away .
You can also use spices from your kitchen like chilli, tumeric, basil etc add some water and mix .. if it’s too thin add a little flour .
if any of you try this Mrs Brown and myself would love to see your pictures , so post a comment or picture and make us smile

keep safe everyone
Miss Kelly

Hello to all our Super Snowdrops, Mrs Brown, myself and all the Snowdrop ladies are missing you all terribly. We hope you are keeping busy and that you and your family are safe and well in this very strange time for us all.
Mrs Brown and myself had planned a lot of fun activities for our new topic “The great outdoors” through our theme story “The tale of Peter Rabbit” so we have decided to upload some tasks and activities each week that you can choose to do with your family if you wish. There is no obligation to complete them just if you are looking for something to do they will be there for you.
As we are missing all your smiles we would love it if you could send us some photos of your completed task or something you have enjoyed doing at home.
So this week to get us started we thought you would like to listen to the story of Peter Rabbit and also sing and sign along with Singing Hands to “Little  Peter Rabbit ”.
Have fun snowdrops
from
Miss Kelly
