Hi Everyone.

Chester Zoo has had 4 virtual zoo days and they have some very amazing animals to see! One of particular interest is the sensational song birds which you can check out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wK0aEZxETQ and this will give you access to many more of their keeper chats.

If you like role play here are some bird masks to cut out and use but if you are feeling very creative you could create your own. Have Fun everyone and stay safe over your May Break. 😊

Last week on Twitter we looked at making feeders for our feathered friends in our gardens and hopefully you managed to spot some and identify them using the chart.

Spring birds make lots of noise especially in the morning. They make a great alarm clock! Andy from CBeebies has a series of podcasts with a little robin  who helps us to identify them from their song and has plenty of other useful information too. Check these out here https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/curations/radio-little-robin-meets

I hope you enjoy these. Jen

Story massage is a fun and interactive approach of sharing stories and rhymes in a positive and respectful way. It involves asking permission from the individual if you can perform story massage on the time.

The benefits are:

1. It can bring calm and relaxing feeling to the individual.
2. It promotes oxytocin the “feel good” hormone.
3. It may improve sleep patterns.
4. It may promote self esteem and confidence.
5. It may regulate emotions
6. Can build positive relationships through touch.
7. Can develop a readiness for learning.
8. It may develop imagination, expressive language and creativity.
9. Improves communication.
10. Can help prepare for future events e.g. going to dentist, new school, or hospital.

Good morning, I hope you are ready to do lots this week. Please find Part 1 of our Word Boost story. Use your imagination to decide what happens next – Susan. #literacytrust #storyreading pic.twitter.com/SWnJExg5fY
