Good morning, Beech!  \"\"<\/p>\n

This week in the Beech class, Mrs Wilson and Mrs McCreath will be doing a topic called ‘Feed the Birds’.  To tie in with some of the activities the class will  be doing in school, I have thought of some activities you can do at home!<\/p>\n

Literacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

In class we will be reading a story called ‘The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark’.  Here is a link to the story on YouTube if you want to listen, too.  https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4FcxGheSihk<\/a><\/p>\n

A good idea for practising letter formation and fine motor skills is to make a sensory tray.  Fill a wide and shallow tray or dish with fine sprinkle materials – we suggest bird seed this week if you have any!  But any kind will do.  See if you can trace out the different letters in some bird names such as ‘O’, ‘W’ and ‘L’.  Alternatively, you can practise filling, scooping and pouring using different cups and spoons, this helps hand-eye coordination and motor skill development.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/strong>Numeracy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Draw a simple set of owl templates in different sizes onto bits of card or paper.  A family of three would be perfect!<\/p>\n

While out in the garden or on your daily walk, gather a variety of leaves and twigs.  Now, see if you can make the owl’s feathers with the leaves and twigs!<\/p>\n
