A1/P1 craft task 22/04/20

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.

All you need is –

  • An empty milk carton (clean this out first)
  • Some pens or paint
  • String to hang your birdhouse
You will need an adults help to cut your doors out but then you can decorate this however you like 🙂 Why don’t you have a look around your garden or when you are out your next walk for some twigs or leaves that you could use as a comfy bed for the birds.
Im looking forward to seeing all your pictures of your different birdhouses. Here is mine hanging up in my garden waiting for the birds to come visit.
 
Kirsty 🙂

Yoga 22/04/20

I cannot wait to see your writing and shape work from this morning.  I hope you have had a nice lunch and are ready for your yoga session this afternoon.

Keep an eye out for Kirsty posting another activity in a little while.
