Orange Class – Thursday 21st May

Hello Orange Class and good morning!

Morning Circle

Don’t forget Lorna’s sign of the day!

On Thursdays we have P.E. first thing in the morning. Today it is with Gerry!

Good Morning, We all hope you enjoyed Sports Day last week and hope you enjoyed meeting some new Friends.

Mira and So in particular wanted to say a big thank you for taking part and also …

Today we are going to continue with some activities from Mia & So.

Activity 1 – Warm Up Challenge
Mira and So would like you to imagine you are an Olympic Volleyball Player in this challenge. You don’t need any equipment, just a space to sit or lay on the floor and your voice or imagination. See link – Play Without Equipment – Challenge

Activity 2 -Jingle Jar
For this activity you need a small jar or tub and some dried peas, rice, lentils or pasta, or anything else that will rattle to make a noise. In this game Mira & So want you to use one of your super-senses. Preferably through touch or sound but you can decide. You will also need a blind fold for one of the players. If you find it too difficult don’t worry, you can ask if you can peek a little. See link – Listen Up or feel the vibration

Note: You might have to change this game slightly but don’t worry be flexible. As long as you can shake the tub with the rattle for 10 seconds then that counts too. Can you do that 3 times each? or Lay on the floor with your eyes covered and guess what side the noise of vibration is coming from, maybe even guess what part of your body it rolled into.

Activity 3 – Become the Teacher
Mira & So think its a good idea for you to now become the PE teacher. They would like you to create your own active game. Have a look around the house and decide what equipment is safe to use. Will you play indoors or outdoors. Its up to you.
Here are some ideas to help – Be the Teacher – Active Indoors Challenge

Well done today, you have been very creative!

Please remember there are lots of PE & Movement activities here on this blog and you can repeat any of these if you wish. Repetition is good. Today’s lesson if just some newer challenges. Just do what you can.

I hope you enjoyed that.

Time for Maths!

Outside: Did you enjoy the bird bingo yesterday? her’s another one today!

They are beautiful – even the scruffy little sparrows!

Time for a story! It’s a class favourite today!

Hello everyone,

Today I am feeling like Mr Messy.

Mr. Messy plays for Argentina - The Broken Wheelbarrow - Pride of ...

My daughter did some painting in the garden yesterday and her paints, dirty brushes and dirty water are still all over the kitchen table. What a mess!

Messy Art table

Today is definitely going to be a cleaning day!

Who do you feel like today? Remember to ask someone at home too.

For life-skills today could you do some tidying like me? Maybe you have some art stuff that needs tidying too?

If you do your tidying as quickly as Sylvester the cat you can make it your movement time too. Remember to choose a great song to keep you motivated.

I’m going to play this tune as I tidy.

When you have finished your tidying check out some Maths. Clare has some good posts in the general maths section. Remember even if it doesn’t have your group’s name on it you can still do the activities.

After Maths it is time for fiddly fingers. Today, can you try these finger exercises?

Have a break and then come back for story-time at 10.30. Today’s story is

Then is is time for Sign of the Day so check in with Lorna.

After that it is time for Music so find out what Connie and Gordon have been up to.

Have a lunch and then come back for Sensory time. Tracey has some great ideas for Sensory activities – things to make and Yoga poses to try, so check them out in the sensory section.

Have great days.
