Orange Class – Friday 22nd May
Good morning to you!
It’s Friday so first thing today it is Primary Assembly. Choose Assemblies on the right menu.
Now time for Morning Circle
Don’t forget your reflection sheet for today.
This weekend Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr – also known as the Feast of Fast-Breaking as it marks the end of the Ramadan fasting period.
Would you like to look at some photographs to see what your friends have been doing?
Remember Lorna’s sign of the day!
Next it is time for a tidy up. What are the jobs for today?
Let’s do some Art with David
Art – Shaving foam marbling
Materials needed: a tray, dish or similar container, shaving foam, food colouring, toothpick, wooden skewer or pencil, paper or card and a piece of thick card or cloth ‘scraper’.
Method:
Start by squirting out some shaving foam onto your dish. You only need a thin layer, and this will act as your base. Then drop on some food colouring. You can add as many different colours as you like. Use a toothpick, wooden skewer or pencil to swirl the food colouring through the shaving foam to create a design you like. Then press a piece of paper or card on to the shaving foam, smoothing the paper/card a little so that all the surface is in contact with the foam. It only needs to touch for a second or two for the food colouring to transfer. Carefully peel back the paper/card and place it face-up on the table. You can repeat the process again and again, adding more food colouring if you want to. Once your marbling surface becomes too full of colours simply rinse off all the colour and foam and begin the process again.
That was FAB fun!
Now how about some movement?
How about some reading?
Time to relax..

Have a blessed weekend.

Group 5 Circle Time Friday 22nd May
Hi everyone,
Today I am feeling like Mr Lazy. I am very glad it is nearly the weekend so that I can have a snooze!
Who do you feel like today? Remember to ask the other people in your house how they are feeling too.
Today is going to be a wild and windy day so for movement time why not do some Windy Day yoga?

What will you do for life-skills today? I have both of these jobs to do today!
Your first lesson of the day is Literacy so check Laura’s posts in the Language section or perhaps you might want to practice your letter recognition skills. Try this online game to spot the correct letter.

After Literacy it is time for Social Studies so check out what Linda has in store for you in her section.
Take a break and then come back for Story-time at 10.30. Today’s story is
Then check out Sign of the Day with Lorna before Food Technology with Hazel.
Have a nice lunch and then it is time for ICT so check out Kirsty’s posts in the ICT section or try a new online game at CBeebies

Silver Class – Thursday 21st May
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!

Time for some Yoga. Are you ready for a challenge?
Relaxation time
Have a great Thursday!
David.
Group 5 Circle time Thursday 21st May
Hello everyone,
Today I am feeling like Mr Messy.
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!
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.
Last thing of the day is Dance. Check out Rachel’s post for some new dance moves.
Have great days.

Orange Class – Wednesday 20th May
Good morning on a bright, sunny, soon to be warm Wednesday!
Lets kick things off with Morning Circle.
On Wednesday mornings we have music with Gordon. Why not try making a magical musical circle?
Scroll down for Connie’s Music lesson for today or search category music.
Now for a Story. Today we are going on a Kipper the Dog adventure to The Seaside.
What about an Art activity for your window?
Now time to get outside. I saw a Great Spotted Woodpecker yesterday. Isn’t it great!
Which was your favourite?
Time for exercise. Can you spell your name? You could do this outside!
Lets do some jobs around the house
Time for relaxation!
Have a lovely Wednesday.

Silver Class – Wednesday 20th May
Group 5 Circle Time Wednesday 20th May
Hello everyone,
How are you today? Today I feel like Little Miss Brainy because I passed my online exam yesterday. I still have another one to do today though so I better get revising!
Remember to ask the other people in your house how they are feeling too.
Today is supposed to be warm and sunny so why not do your movement outside. Perhaps try spelling out some happy words like sunshine and summer using the exercise alphabet.
For life-skills, I think today should be about staying safe in the sun. If you are outside a lot today remember not to get too hot, to stay in the shade during the hottest part of the day and to wear sunscreen and a hat.
Your first lesson of the day is literacy so check out Laura’s Language posts for today’s work.
After that it is time for PE so find out what Pedro has organised for you in the PE section.
Take a break and then come back for story-time at 10.30. Today’s story is
Then check out Sign of the day with Lorna and Art with Steve.
Have a nice lunch (if you’re going outside remember to stay safe in the sun) and then it is time for Science with me so check out my Science posts.
Last lesson of the day is Health and Well-being so you may just want to chill in the garden or have a walk. Alternatively you could check out some of Tracey’s posts in the sensory section.
Have lovely days and remember to send some photos for the weekly round-up.
