Tuesday ……….. Rainbows

All the staff have all been seeing lots of rainbows in windows when they have been out their daily walk. We know that some of you have painted and coloured a rainbow too!

Why don’t you make a rainbow – using stones which you can find in the garden or when out for a family walk. Paint the stones and make your own rainbow.  Put it in the garden for everyone to see.

How many stones does it take to make the rainbow? Here is a counting song to help – https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03g64rd)

This also provides an opportunity for older children within the family to scaffold learning and have fun in making their own rainbows.

If you would like to explore sensory messy play, then here are some ideas to use spaghetti to make another rainbow: https://www.kidspot.com.au/things-to-do/activity-articles/sensory-spaghetti-messy-play/news-story/3d3eb128193c9576dc484f61af422c34

Elmer the Elephant by David McKee

Elmer the Elephant
Use the Book Trust link
to listen to David McKee read the story of Elmer (literacy). If you are working, you might want to use this as a bedtime story and link it to the discussions you have had about the colours of the rainbow.
Why don’t you make your own Elmer the Elephant. You could use junk material to create your own 3D Elmer.
Please share what you have been doing with all the staff. Leave a comment on our blog and we will reply.
