Good afternoon A1/P1. I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine today.

As we are focusing on our health and wellbeing this week I thought it would be good to use emojis to get us talking about our feelings. It can be difficult for some people to express how they feel with words, especially kids so this is not only a fun activity but it’s sure to get us talking.  You could start this by asking which emoji represents how they feel.

I hope you have fun.

Good afternoon, I hope you have all had a good morning. This afternoon I have a fun activity for you to try.

What you will need –

• paint
• drinking straws
• washing up liquid
• paper

First of all decide which paint colours you are going to use and put about a tablespoon of each colour in a different cup. Then add a squirt of washing up liquid to each cup and fill the cup 3/4 full with water and stir well.

Now use your straws to blow the into your mixture to create the bubbles. Once they are ready to overflow from your cup, place a piece of paper on top and watch how it prints the bubble pattern onto it.

You can then blow back into your paint to create more bubbles and make as many pictures as you want. If they aren’t dark enough just add more paint as you go along.

If you have any bubbles at home you could even use the blowers to dip into your paint and blow some paint bubbles onto your paper.

I hope you have fun creating your bubble art work and I look forward to seeing what you all create!

Good afternoon, I hope you have all had a fun morning. The weather isn’t great today so I have a fun indoor activity for you to do. All you will need is a large tub that will hold water or you can even do this in your kitchen sink. Some washing up liquid or shampoo, whisks, food colouring and glitter (optional).

All you need to do is fill your tub or basin with water and the soap. You add your colour and then whisk! Look at the patterns you are making and how it slowly changes colour.

Once you have whisked up your bubbles you can have fun playing. how do the bubbles feel in your hands? Can you make any shapes in the bubbles? How about hiding some small objects in the bubbles and using only your hands try and guess what they are.

I hope you have fun with your bubbles and cant wait to see all your pictures.

Good afternoon A1/P1. I hope you are all having a nice day. I’ve got a fun rainbow rain cloud experiment for you to try.
All you need is

– a glass or glass jar

– water

-food colouring

– shaving foam (not gel)

Fill your glass 3/4 full with water then squirt your shaving foam on top to make your cloud. Now you add a few drops of your food colouring and watch your rainbow rain appear!

What colours can you see? Does your rain fall straight down or make patterns?

I hope you have fun making your rain clouds and I look forward to seeing your pictures.

Good afternoon A1/P1. I hope you have all had a great morning.

I thought today we could do some play dough printing. You can either use your own play dough if you have some or I have included instructions how to make your own.

Have a look around your house or garden to find some objects to print in your play dough. What shapes do they make? How does it feel?

Here are some examples for you. I can’t wait to see the pictures you all make.

Good afternoon, I hope you have all had a good morning and have been enjoying the sunshine.

I have a science experiment you can try out and you should end up with your very own DIY lava lamp. I’m looking forward to hearing how you get on and to see your lava lamp pictures.

Kirsty 😊

Good afternoon A1/P1. I hope you have all had a great morning. Now that you have read the story about The Big Tree I thought it would be a good idea to make a birdhouse.
