Bonjour!
It appears that yesterday’s post did not upload correctly; my apologies if you were disappointed not to see anything new. I do hope you had some fun in the sunny, windy weather. Did you notice lots of your neighbours had washing hanging in their gardens yesterday? Why would that be a good idea on a sunny and windy day?
Here are today’s suggestions…
- Revisit Monday’s post and try out some of the activities that you find interesting. Retell the story together.
- On Monday I encouraged you to think about trees. Can you try Isabella’s activity idea and find some different leaves, place them under a piece of paper, then rub over them with a crayon? What do you see? What if you place them under some tinfoil and rub? What happens?
- Visit the Magic Treehouse in this calming story told by Jaime
4. Given the spell of fine weather you may wish to create images outside. Here are ideas for water painting and shadow drawing. Which will you try?
5. As your children may be spending a little more time using digital technologies you may wish to visit aspects of internet safety with them. This link leads you to age appropriate resources to help you have a discussion.

6. You may not be joining your adults any more when they go shopping. When they do they are probably paying for items using a bank card but they may have some coins in their purse or wallet. Take a look at these coins or any you have collected on holiday. What is the same/different? Can you sort them in your own way? Maybe by size, colour, shape…. Can you line them up in a pictogram as Lewis did with his toy cars? Which do you have most/least of? How many in each group? Do any of the coins have pictures on them? Which one do you like best? Do they have letters or numbers? Can you recognise the numbers? What about putting them in order from smallest to largest? Can you make a toy shop or a snack shop at home? How much will things cost? Do you have a coin that matches?
