I hope you manages to make some interesting patterns with rectangles or squares,
Today why not try making a pattern with circles?
Find a lid or coin and draw around it to make circles. Now make a pattern with the circles. Is it easier or harder to work with circles than rectangles? What’s different about circles? Would tiles that are circles be a good shape to use to cover your bathroom wall? Why?
Here is a Jack Hartmann maths song to get you counting and moving
It’s not too long till Easter so I thought you could try 2 activities in 1.
Why not try making some shaving foam Easter egg pictures.
You will need :
shaving foam, paint or food colour, a tray, paper, something to stir the shaving foam with. and a scraper to take off excess foam, scissors.
What to do:
Put shaving foam in try, add some drops of colour, drag a stick through it to make a pattern, place a piece of paper on top and gently press down. Scrape the excess saving foam off and leave to dry.
When you have made your marbled paper you can cut out some Easter Egg shapes.
Here is a link to help you: https://typicallysimple.com/marbled-paper-easter-eggs/
Don’t worry if you don’t have any paint or colour you can have fun playing in the shaving foam!
Today’s story is What a Mess. It is a slightly longer story so it is in two parts. I hope you like it as much as I do. I just love the pictures.
Tomorrow’s choice (the final choice before the Easter holidays) is …
In this story Slinky Malinki (a cat) goes out to meet his friends. Find out what they get up to and where they all settle down at the end of the night.
or …
A good one for a windy day. Find out what Percy and his animal friends get up to after a storm messes up their park.

Good morning song:
The days of the week song:
The weather song
What’s the weather?
Don’t forget Lorna’s sign of the day! Search for sign of the day.
Time to get outside!
What about a walk?
Walking is a great exercise for your body and mind and it’s not every day we have this good weather in Scotland. To make it more interesting we can agree some challenges with our family like, count the trees we see, count the birds, look for bears and rainbow in windows, we can even make it a competition who can see more birds, trees, red objects etc. Just remember you should always walk close to home (no driving) and keep social distance.
Another great idea would be to Join Vicky community group page we’re going on a bear hunt, just follow the link:
This is also the time we started to learn some Spanish. Leave you here some Spanish translations.
Good morning – “Buenos Dias”
Hello – “Hola”
How are you? – “como estas?”
We then talk about how we are feeling today (happy, sad, tired, and excited). We find how does the weather look like and what day it is – You can do your calendar book.
And we finish our circle time sharing the last day news – Feel free to share your news, by email, posting here on blog some videos, photos or comments. J

This Easter holiday is going to be quite different for us all.
Have some fun and keep busy by making an Easter To Do List (look out for this activity later today, as there appears to be limited storage on our blog, so I will send it to Graeme and ask if he can help).
Take care and keep safe.
