Good Morning Group 1.

How are you all today?

 

I hope that you are all well and feeling happy.

Some of the class might be feeling worried just now.

Here is a story about what might help if you are feeling worried.

It’s always best to share a worry. Sharing it makes it seem less big and someone might be able to help you send the worry away.

Life Skills

I hope you have all been trying out some new life skills challenges in your home?

This weeks challenge is Hoovering. Can you hoover a different room each day?

Let me know which rooms you’ve hoovered.

Have a good day!

Hello Everyone. I hope you’ve all enjoyed your holiday from school work and have found some fun things to do.

I have been reading, doing some sewing and getting outside for some exercise. I have loved seeing the new lambs in the fields and they have made me feel very happy.

I love this song too

What has made you feel happy? Was it a game you played,playing outside or maybe having an Easter egg?

Draw a picture of what has made you feel happy and say what made you happy and why.

Perhaps you could send me your pictures?

Community

Today we would have been out in the community if we had been at school.

Instead I want you to go outside and see how many signs you can see.

It might be a road sign, a traffic sign or a bus stop.

What do the signs say?

What do they mean?

Take a photo of anything you see.

Look at the other blogs for more learning and don’t forget sign of the day and of course Maths.

Have fun!

Maths Shape Activity 3

Leave a reply

Hello Everyone.

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

Sensory Play shaving foam

Leave a reply

Hi Everyone.

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!

Hello Everyone.

I hope you managed to find lots of shapes in your house or garden yesterday.

Today’s challenge is to make a pattern using rectangles or squares or both.                                      Have a look in your house or outside. Can you see any patterns made with tiles in you kitchen or bathroom or maybe some slabs outside?                                                                                    You are going to make your own pattern with rectangles or squares.                                                 What do you have in the house to help you? cards? mats? dominoes or maybe you could draw your pattern.

Can you take a photo of your pattern?                                                                                                      Can you colour it?                                                                                                                                             How many rectangles or squares are in your pattern?                                                                             What happens if you add another shape?

Have fun investigating and let me know how you get on.

Personal hygiene

Good morning Group 1. How are you today? I can hear the birds singing this morning and I’ve just been watching a wood pigeon sitting on my fence so that has made me feel happy. I will feel even better if the sun starts to shine!

Have you looked at today’s date? It’s the last day of March so tomorrow will be????                           That’s right the 1st of April which is also April Fool’s Day. Look out for people playing tricks tomorrow!

We have been talking about personal hygiene in class. Today I’d like you to talk through the sheets (on the link Personal Hygiene above)  and see if you can remember all the things that are important to keep clean and smell nice. How many of them can you do on your own?

Enjoy your day!
