Group 9 – Life skills and relaxation activities
Good morning group 9,
I hope that you have all had a good weekend.
In PSD this morning our focus is life skills. Look at the symbolised resource and see which tasks you would like to help with?
It’s also good to take to take time to relax after being busy. You could try this relaxation activity which we’ve used in PSD before. It’s called Squeezing lemons and you can listen to some relaxing music as well.

Outdoor Learning – Time Travel
Good Afternoon everyone,
I hope you are excited about today’s outdoor learning?
Since we can’t get outdoors much just now i thought we could go back in time to 2016 and visit Pinewood School and the surrounding areas in the local community.
Yip i did say back in time!!
So do what you can to pretend you are sitting in Doc Brown’s Delorean (car) and visit Blackburn in August 2016. (We will use google maps and the latest map you can see is from 2016)
Remember safety 1st. Sit back in your seat and make sure you are strapped in for our next great adventure. (pretend maybe by using a scarf as seat belt).
Activity
There is lots of freedom during this task however i will provide some options to help. I will list 5 places and the aim of the game is to use your computer and make your way from Pinewood School to those places listed. I have added a few links below and don’t worry if you get lost just click the link again and you will return safely back to Pinewood. Alternatively you can start at those locations and find your way back to school.
Tips
To navigate through the road maps you only need to move your mouse on the screen and click the road you would drive on. Remember its a card your driving so please don’t try and take short cuts through parks etc.. as it wont work, the car is to big.
Special Time Travel Locations
The places we are trying to find are:
– Pinewood School
– The Church
– Kim’z Cafe
– St Kent’s
– Tesco
And…….. if you would prefer to start from Pinewood School please click below.
Pinewood School
Alternatively If you want to Start at the other locations and find your way back to Pinewood then please use the links below.
Remember: Do what you can and feel free to explore!
The Other Locations:
The Church
St Kents
Kim’z Cafe
Tesco
Extra Time Travel
If you are really good at driving the Deloreon then you will also see that the Blackburn Partnership Centre was just in the process of being built.
- Can you find out what colour the fences surrounding the building site are?
- How may people did you pass at the bus stops from Pinewood to the Co-op?
Most importantly have fun, be safe and be outdoors from indoors as best you can.
Enjoy 🙂
Gerry
Movement Monday
Happy Monday everyone,
I hope you enjoyed the previous 4 days of movement with Joe Wicks. Today we will continue with Joe for Movement Monday.
Again this will be a short 5 minute activity to set you up for the day. You still have the option of using the cards and you can download these to help with the video should you wish.
Today’s cards to match the video 5 min Move Workout Day 1
Its important that you do what you can and adapt any exercises where appropriate. Over the coming days we will add more videos and possibly some alternatives.
The objective is movement therefore don’t stress to much if it becomes a struggle. Just allow the children to move and do what they can for those 5 minutes. The clips uploaded are just a guide.
Have fun and lets get moving!
Group 5 – Circle Time Monday 30th March
Hello Everyone,
Today I am feeling like Mr Happy because the sun was shining this weekend and because it is supposed to be sunny today too. Check outside, is it sunny yet?
How are you feeling today? Remember to ask people at home how they feel too.
Today’s suggested timetable is PSD, Maths and PE, break, story, sign of the day and Art, lunch and then Outdoor Learning and Health and Wellbeing.
During PSD time have a think about what you did over the weekend. This weekend I did lots of work in my garden and my husband planted some seeds. I will post a photo later and we can follow them as they grow.
Please share your weekend news with us by replying to this blog. I can then let everyone know what you have been up to.
For Maths, PE, Art and Outdoor Learning please visit those sections of the Blog to find your activities.
In preparation for Music on Thursday, Connie would really like to know how you got on with the first task – John William and his film music. Please could you let Connie know how you got on by replying to her post?
I will post today’s story just after break. The choice for today is
In this book we meet What-a-Mess, a small Afghan hound. He does have a proper name but he has forgotten it because everyone who sees him always says ‘What a Mess!’
or
In this story Mrs Thomas looks after a baby for a day and finds that it is not as easy as she thought!
Remember to let me know which you would prefer.
Also remember our photo challenge, you still have time to think about this photo before I post the answer later on today.
What is this? Reply to this post to let me know what you think it is.
Have great days everyone. I’ll be back soon.
