Good morning everyone,

how are you today?  Remember if you go outside, wrap up warm, yesterday it was very cold when I went out.

life skills

You could help with the dishes today, so remember, when snack (or lunch) is finished, to put your plate and spoon or fork in the sink.

Maths 

So, over the last few days, you have learned lots of signs with Lorna.  You learned signs or colours and or transport.  Your challenge today will be to find 3 cars, a red one, a blue one and a yellow one.   Good hunting!

Fiddly fingers

Can you make lots and lots of patterns in the sand.  Don’t worry if you don’t have sand, you could use couscous or dry coloured rice or even lentils.  Have fun!

Fun with rice

Story time

You are in for a treat today!  It has taken me many attempts and I could not have done this without Lorna’s help (thank you Lorna xx).

 

Easter and spring time  

I think you will enjoy watching this video.  What could you see? what are those little fluffy birds called? Do you know?  Ah … yes, they called chicks!

Circle Time

How are you feeling today?

Do you remember the months of the year?

Look at the window to find out what is the weather like today.

After morning routine it is time to help around the house. What about helping to sort the washing?

Excellent idea again from Tracey which I would like to share with you:

When the clothes are washed take them out and hang them up to dry using pegs.

Story

Here is a beautiful story about peace and mindfulness. Relax and enjoy.

Sign of the day

Check for Lorna’s sign of the day video.

Music

Go to the music section to have fun singing with Connie.

You could ask an adult to do story massages with you.  Nicole (Blue Class’ teacher) has posted a comprehensive guide and a story for today.

Or if you want you can make a tactile road.

Hello Everyone,

Today I feeling like Mr Greedy because I ate too much garlic bread with my dinner last night!

Mr GIF - Find & Share on GIPHY

How are you feeling today?

Today’s weather will be windy. I can hear it outside my window. Can you hear it too?

Windy GIFs | Tenor

For PSD today it is time to think of things that make us happy. Try to think of 10 things that make you feel happy. Tell someone about them.

My 10 things are my family, my dog, sunshine, being in the garden, a nice hot cup of tea, having a shower, a nice piece of cake, Fridays!, seeing the moon and singing.

Check out Gerry’s posts for Movement ideas and remember to be helpful at home. Today what about helping to sort the washing?

For your Maths activities check out Steve’s posts in the Secondary Maths section.

For Fiddly Fingers can you make a rainbow from things you find in your house? I would love to see a photo of it if you can.

Remember to take a break and have a healthy snack. Then it is time to check out today’s story. Today it is going to be What a Mess. I love this book, I hope you will too. It will be on the Blog at 10.30.

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!’

Then it will be time for Sign of the Day, thank you Lorna, and Music with Connie.

Have a nice lunch. Did you spot my April Fool yesterday – I didn’t really have ice cream for my lunch. That would be silly!

After lunch it is time for Sensory and Dance. Have a look in the sensory section for some activities and then check out Rachel’s latest moves in the dance section.

Have lovely days, I’ll be back soon.

Good morning!

Hello Can you sing hello in a different language today?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bswEIC4QrsY

Calendar I can’t believe it is already April!  How many months have we had since January and the beginning of the year? How many months have we got until Christmas?

Movement another Purple class favourite!

Life skills  I expect you have all been busy working and if you could do this one job every day it is a great life skill!

clean table

Maths  I have attached some maths addition booklets for you – let me know if can’t access it

Fiddly fingers – if you have some white wool you can make some pompoms

Kids Crafts: Easy Pom Pom Bunnies

Story I loved hearing this story over at the hub with one of the children – it made me laugh but also sad – sometimes we don’t know why we are grumpy – thanks to Tracey for this story suggestion

Signs of the day – check out  the Category on here for today’s signs – I enjoyed yesterday’s fruits

Music – check out Connie’s entry for today under Music

Sensory –  how about using an empty bottle and making your own sensory bottle?  It is great to look at when maybe feeling a bit angry or confused like the monkey in the story (especially if add some glitter if have any left over from Christmas)

Colour Mixing Sensory Bottles

Dance – check out Rachel’s entry for today – this class love a dance

See you tomorrow!
