Good afternoon everyone,

We are sure you have seen some beautiful rainbows in lots of windows over the past week.

This week the theme is “Sunshine”, so we would like you to create sunshine drawings, paintings, collage pictures, mobiles etc with whatever materials you have at home to display in your window to spread a little sunshine, no matter what the weather is like.

Here are some ideas

Have fun!!

Narrative Language – Tuesday

1 Comment

Good afternoon everyone!

I hope you are all doing well, this afternoon I have a narrative language task for you to complete.

First, I would like you to watch ‘The Great Pet Sale’ by Mike Inkpen on youtube. I have linked the video below.

After you have listened to this story, I want to you tell you parent/ carer all the characters from the book. I would like to see if you are able to remember them all! You could even try and write all the characters names with help from a parent or carer.

For your final task, in your School Closure jotter I would like you to draw a picture of everyone in your family. We are focusing on WHO this week so it would be good to see if you can remember everyone without any help.

After you have finished your task, you could ask your parent/carer to take a picture of your work and tag us in it on twitter – @wlblackburnps

It would be great to see all your lovely pictures! I’m looking forward to seeing all your hard work.

A1- P1 Sensory Activity – Make a Den

1 Comment

Good afternoon A1. I hope you are all having a good day!

Sensory activities can stimulate the brain and improve sensory processing. It can improve social skills such as communication and cooperation. It can also improve coordination and motor skills.

This afternoons activity is to make a ‘Den’. Your den can become anything you want it to be and you can fill it with lots of different things. Use your imagination, the sky is the limit!

I have made my den into a ‘Rocket’ as we had been learning about rockets and space in class. I used a large fleece blanket (which is soft, furry and cosy) and I draped it over 4 dining chairs. I made a control panel for my rocket using junk from my recycling (toilet roll tubes, bottle lids and cereal boxes). I also used tin foil as its shiny and crinkly and very sensory. Stitch loves his new Rocket!! I  would love you to post some pics of your dens if you are able as I would love to see them! Have fun………………………………………………………..ENJOY!

I hope you are all staying safe and having fun.

For today’s STEM lesson I would like you try out the human sundial experiment. All you need is some sunshine, some chalk and a little help to draw around your shadow.

At different times throughout the day (or even tomorrow) stand at the same spot outdoors and get an adult to draw around your shadow – what happens an hour later? 2 hours later? Does your shadow move?
