Good morning! Today marks the end of our second week apart. I do hope that as well as trying some of the suggested activities you have been kind, played nicely with your family, helped with little jobs, spent some time outdoors and listened to your adults. This is important because they want you to be safe and happy.
Leading on from yesterday’s fish theme, today’s ideas are all water related.
Try this underwater counting game that we enjoy in nursery:

Make a log and five little speckled frogs using Lego or other toys you have. Sing and act out the song. What if you started with eight? Ten? Twenty frogs?! Can you sing and count back from those larger numbers?
What do you know about how frogs are born and grow? Do you have a book at home about baby animals or animal life cycles? What information can you find out? What questions do you have? Are their interesting words to describe animals at different stages? How many animals can you find out about?
Can you plan a trip to see some of these animals once we are allowed to leave home and travel more?
Create your own pond/river/seascape for play in a tray or shallow box, using materials from your home and garden as well as some toys.
Why not have a go at some water experiments?
Does your family have a special place where there is lots of water? The swimming pool? A park or open space with a pond or river where you like to go walking? A beach you like to visit on holiday? How do you feel when you are in that special place? Why do you like it? Who usually goes there with you. Once you have talked together maybe you could draw a picture or map of this place, adding as much detail as you can.
