Happy Thursday everyone!
Really hope you’re all doing well. Keep the comments and pictures of any work or exciting creative stuff coming! Khadija sent this gorgeous picture of an art project she’s been working on at home. How beautiful!
As always enjoy your day, and at the end of a phone call or email if you need anything. It was great seeing some of your work yesterday, and even listening to reading book recordings… well done you guys!

Sound matching activities… I have attached a game you can play with your child matching the initial sound with the object in the picture or alternatively you can download and play around with the other worksheets. The choices start off with first sounds and get trickier as you go down. Please help your child select the one that is the right level of challenge for them.

11:15-12:15: Maths
Today we’ll revise a concept we were working so hard on before the holidays, telling the time. Here are a couple of online games for the children to practise their skills. The children are familiar with these games and use them in class to warm up their brains.
Remember the most useful thing you can do at home to develop an understanding of time is talk to the children about your daily routines and what happens when. Wearing a watch at home can also give your child increased opportunity to play with and explore telling the time.
Help the bear tell the time.

1-1.30 pm: Fine Motor Skills
One of the really important aspects of our daily school life is play. These play based experiences help us make sense of the world around us and also assist in our development of fine and gross motor skills which impacts on our cognitive activity and even our pencil grip etc.
I have attached a suggested activity you could try at home to help develop these skills.
1.30-2.30pm: Art
Join our very own Miss Milne and try to follow along to make a paper twirlie toy…. All you need is some paper and scissors. Remember to get an adult to help you when using scissors!

2:30-3pm: Story and chat
At the end of each day, we will send you stories to listen to/read. Some of these will be read by your lovely St. Albert’s teachers, others might be by famous authors. To get ready for the story:
- Get a snack and a drink
- Get somewhere comfy – on cushions/sofa/bed, under a blanket
- Get one of your parents or a brother/sister to listen with you
Here are today’s stories:
P1-3 In Class 1 we really enjoy listening to audio stories of authors reading their own books… here is Michael Rosen’s version of ‘The Bear Hunt’.
