We hope you have all been enjoying the moments of sunshine.

Learning opportunities in the garden are a great way to enjoy getting fresh air in addition to our daily outdoor exercise session.

A paint brush and water are great for mark making – explore this by making shapes and patterns to challenge each other’s skills. Take the opportunity to highlight what you see – “A triangle with 3 sides…”

Prompt the children to share  and develop their learning…where has your picture gone?…leading to early science discussions about evaporation.

Make transient art outdoors using sticks, stones and shells.

The Bookbug app is great to sing along with and for checking the lyrics and tunes for new rhymes and songs. The children love leading the ‘Sing it Bag’ sessions at nursery – why not build up your own bag of song prompts over this period – you could use small toys/ household items or a drawing .

Can you guess the rhyme for this picture?

 

Layla sent in this brilliant picture for a Bookbug favourite song – can you guess it?
