Easter Egg hunt design challenge – two week challenge

The challenge will be to create an Easter Egg Hunt for some younger children that may be in your house (or use your imagination!).

What will you need for the hunt?

How will the children know about it?

Do you need a map? how will the children read the directions? do you need pictures?

Is it outside in your garden (remember it can’t be further than your house)?

What decorations do you need?

What happens if it is too hot? or too cold? ( I remember one Easter hunt in my garden it snowed!)

What will you need to make? how many eggs are you going to have to get?

Here is a link to some ideas but it would be lovely to hear from you and see some pictures of your plans for this event?

I will check in with you next Wednesday and share some of your ideas!

Good morning Red Class,

I hope you are having fun and keeping safe.

Have you looked at the timetable you got in your pack?

Let’s sing the good morning song

Try this for movement song

Remember to wash your hands when you help Mum or Dad get your snack ready

The song signifier is to the tune of Here we go round the mulberry bush :

this is the way we wash our hands

wash our hands

this is the way we wash our hands

to keep them nice and safe

The song signifier for drying hands is to the same tune:

this is the way we dry our hands

dry our hands

this is the way we dry our hands

to keep them nice and dry

Story time today

if you go outside in the garden or for a walk, remember to try and put your jacket on by yourself, remember to pull the tag of the zip once Mum or Dad has anchored it. You can do this! If you are going for a walk, remember to stay safe and hold hands.

Take photos too, Callum sent me a lovely photo of himself on a walk with his Mum. Look at the trees, are there buds yet? When I stepped into my garden this morning, I could hear the birds…

Good morning Silver Class!

Some ideas for today’s timetable if you are following along at home.

Literacy

Let’s practise some writing today, The Silver class looove writing in different materials.

You can try shaving foam

Or try salt, sand, rice, paint – anything at all. Your imagination is your only limit 🙂

Can you try writing your name? How many pictures can you draw? Maybe you could try some numbers too? It’s messy and it’s fun!

Try some of Gerry or Pedro’s ideas on the blog.

Remember there is also Joe Wicks on YouTube and also Oti Mabusa online too – take this time to have some fun and learn a new dance moves 🙂

Story

David Walliams will be sharing stories daily on his website – http://worldofdavidwalliams.com

Sign of the Day

Remember to keep practising your signs of the day! I’d love to see your efforts – send me a picture or a video of your super signing!

Art

Make a rainbow!

Rainbows are bringing people together during this difficult time. Let’s get involved Silver class! I want to see your best rainbows 🙂 You can colour, paint, use strips of materials/felt/tissue, use window chalk or paint, whatever you can find. 🙂

Science

The Glasgow Science Centre are posting science videos each day at 10am on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. Each one will be available on their Youtube channel so don’t worry if you don’t catch it live.

Links are below:

Health and Wellbeing (HWB)

Time to get out the house! Go out into your garden or out for a walk. Take a note (either write it down or just tell an adult) – what can you see? What can you smell? What can you hear?

Come up with as many things as possible. This is called being “mindful” and it is very good at keeping us calm and in the moment. It’s important to be as mindful as possible just now and enjoy the moment.

Have a lovely day everyone.

Story Time for the Orange Class – until Friday 3rd April

Jack and the Beanstalk

Please find bellow a link to short – 3 minute, easy to follow videos about Jack and the Beanstalk for the Orange Class to watch. There is a sequencing exercise you could try at the bottom.

Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack and the Beanstalk video clips

When you have finished all of the episodes you could try sequencing the story.

If your child finds it hard, you could fill in most of the answers and leave only one or two gaps. Then you could rinse and repeat!

A pdf is available here. jack_sequencing

If you have a printer you could print the pdf file, cut out the pictures with your child and glue the pictures on to card. You could then carry out the sequencing many times making it easier or harder as appropriate.

Have fun! David

Good morning Pink Class!

Let’s see what we could do today.

First of all let’s get singing with our families! Wakey, wakey!

Calendar –

Let’s think about days of the week today. Can you teach someone in your family our days of the week song? Can you teach them our signs?

Movement –

Check out the movement section. There are some great activities posted here.

Lifeskills –

Use the Tablespoon Biscuit recipe from your home learning pack to make some yummy biscuits. After all of this movement you deserve a yummy treat!

Literacy –

Try one of the sound/literacy tasks from your pack.

Practise writing the letters of the alphabet (use different colours for each letter).

P.E.-

Check out the P.E. section for some ideas or play a game in your garden.

Story –

Today why don’t you develop your listening skills and tune in to David Walliams reading one of his stories. He reads a new story every day at 11am. Each story is around 15 to 20 minutes long.

Art –

Children are being asked to paint or draw a rainbow and put it in a window at the front of the house. During this time of social distancing, families can go for a walk and children can look for rainbows!

Science –

We have been looking at water in the Pink Class.

Let’s do a floating and sinking experiment.

Find 10 things around your house. Do you think they will float or sink when you put them into water? Guess then experiment. Were you right? Why/why not?
