TODAY 

Carry on with hello/calendar and sign of the day (Lorna is putting this up daily)

Movement – join Go Noodle and maybe try a co-ordination activity or maybe a breathing one – there are lots of categories

Snack – we will be working up to making some recipes with eggs – but today can they spread their own piece of bread with butter? – can they cut it into half? quarters?

ICT/Technology – Kirsty has put some ideas on the ICT/Technology category – have a look

Dance – This morning Oti Mabuse from Strictly is teaching a dance lesson at 11.30am on her Youtube/Instagram channel – how about it!

Story time – how about listening to a story – Amazon have cancelled their subscription for Audible which you can stream on your desktop, laptop, phone and tablet

Fiddly fingers – I’ve been untangling some wool this morning – my intention is to try and get back to my crochet…now this class with me were brilliant at sewing and weaving – have a look on Youtube for some new craft skills – maybe see if they can sew a button back onto a shirt – they all had a chance to use needles and thread last term when made their beautiful aprons!

Gardening – get outside if can in the garden!! what is growing? can you see any signs of Spring? point these out to the children – buds on the branches, shoots poking out from the soil, you might be in the countryside – are there any lambs in the fields?

HWB – today is going to be even stranger for the families – maybe share some time together playing a game together – snap is a great one or matching cards even – taking turns and being with another person are great skills

 

Enjoy your Tuesday !

 

 

 

HBW – Washing hands Group 4

Good morning everyone.

After you have completed your Circle time activities today, you might like to continue learning about good hygiene and how we keep our hands clean. We have been talking about this at school and done some activities. Today, I would like you to have a look at the video below about the importance of washing our hands.

Check out the link below to a PowerPoint which teaches us how best to wash our hands. You could do this together.

Movement Tuesday

Good morning all,

To help our children remain as active as possible i have added a short 5 minute movement video activity below. You can also use these cards should you wish.
