Good morning everyone,

Hope you are all well.

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.

Welcome to our Easter Singalong.
An all time Pinewood favourite.

Now some Easter songs from last week.

Do you remember Easter Jubilation? Let’s sing along.

Time to relax. Find a nice quiet place to relax for a few moments and enjoy this Easter version of Hallelujah.

Let’s finish with Friends in Pinewood

Hi everyone,

Today we are going to learn about the sense of taste (I can taste with my tongue)

1- Start with Five senses song

2 – What have you tasted at breakfast/lunch today?

How did they taste?

  1. Sweet (like honey)
  2. Sour (like a lemon)
  3. Salty (like crisps and sausages)
  4. Bitter (like dark chocolate and cocoa powder)

3. Easter nest activity

Tracey had this great idea about cooking Science and I thought I would share it with you.  Can you make an Easter nest? Find the recipe below or use your own.

Ingredients:

  • 200g milk chocolate broken into pieces
  • 85g shredded wheat, crushed
  • 2 x 100g bags mini chocolate eggs
  • cupcakes case

Instructions:

  1. Melt the chocolate in a small bowl placed over a pan of barely simmering water.
  2. Pour the chocolate over the shredded wheat and stir well to combine.
  3. Spoon the chocolate wheat into 12 cupcake cases and press the back of a teaspoon in the centre to create a nest shape.
  4. Place 3 mini chocolate eggs on top of each nest.
  5. Chill the nests in the fridge for 2 hrs until set.

Taste it! Yummy!!!

Does it taste sweet or salty?

Enjoy.

Happy Wednesday everyone.

I hope you enjoy the songs today. I’m hoping to get a lot of songs onto the blog so you can sing along. Let me know in the comments box your favourite songs to sing in school. Oh, and look out for Thursday’s singalong with lots of Easter and Spring time songs.

At the beginning of the radio project some of the children looked for different radio stations – this was a particular favourite – Fun Kids

One of the choices when you go onto Fun Kids is this podcast – can you have a listen?

any good ideas?

Download the brand new Stuck at Home podcast!

 

or try a new radio station BBC school radio – some of your parents may remember listening to radio programmes in school – I did!
