Hello Everyone!
Just a wee reminder that our new Google Classroom will start on Monday, we are so looking forward to welcoming you, exploring new topics and activities as well as having the opportunity to see the many different ways you are all learning at home.
See you on Monday!
We are surrounded by lots of different faces every day, today we are going to have a close look at our own faces and those of people in our families and then we are going to have a shot at drawing them!
Activities
Take a look in the mirror and name all the different parts of your face that you can see.
Look at the faces of the people in your family, in what ways do they look the same and in what ways do they look different?
Make faces using different natural materials.
Using playdough create faces with different facial expressions.
Draw the face of someone in your family.
There are currently home learning bags available to borrow from the nursery, they will be on the blue trolleys in the nursery foyer for collection.
Please return any learning bags you currently have before collecting a new one. Any returning bags should be placed in the clear plastic boxes to allow us to quarantine them and check them before they are available again to borrow.
We know that there are lots of different types of materials and we were looking for some of them around our homes last week. Today we are going to think more about the properties of materials and what they can be used for.
