Group 5 Circle Time Thursday 14th May

Hi Everyone,

Today I am feeling like Mr Grumpy because my family are very messy and I have to keep tidying up after them! This is what I feel like doing when I have to tidy away their things!

Who do you feel like today?

For Life-skills today could you do some tidying? It would make me feel better to know that other people have to tidy too.

Why not put some music on whilst you are tidying and make it your movement time?

I am going to put on this track. I think it will cheer me up and help me tidy more quickly.

Your first lesson today is Maths so check out Steve’s posts for some activities.

Then it’s time for fiddly fingers. Today why not try balancing things on top of each other? You could balance stones from the garden, cups or even cushions. Perhaps you could send me a photo of how you get on?

The tower of cushions – .

Take a break and then come back for story-time at 10.30. Today’s story is Peppa’s Fishy Friends. I hope you enjoy it.

Then check out Sign of the day with Lorna and Music with Gordon and Connie.

After lunch it is Sensory time so why not check out some of Tracey’s new posts in the Sensory section.

Dance is the last lesson of the day, so head over to the dance section to find out what Rachel has planned for you.

Have great days,

Sarah

Orange Class Wednesday 13th May

Good morning.  Happy Wednesday!

It is time for our Morning Circle.

 

How about a little science experiment?

Shaving Foam Rain Clouds

You can easily make a sensory rain cloud experiment for your children at home with just shaving foam.

Supplies for Shaving Foam Rain Clouds

  1. A Glass or Jar
  2. Shaving Foam
  3. Water
  4. Food Colouring
  5. Dropper or Straw

How To Make Shaving Foam Rain Clouds

Fill your glass or jar 3/4 of the way full with water. Add shaving foam to the top. This is our fluffy cloud.

Mix a little blue food colouring with some water. Again, this is option, but it makes the rain much easier to see.

Have your child add drops of the blue water to the cloud. As the water gets heavier and heavier it will start to fall out of the cloud and make rain!

This is what happens with real clouds. The water droplets get heavier and heavier until they fall down as rain. Fun fact: The average cumulus cloud weighs 1.1 million pounds!)

This activity works fine motor skills as your child manipulates the dropper or straw to add the droplets. You can also enjoy the sensory fun of playing with the clouds too.

 

Rachel has a new sensory dance Sway on the Blog.

 

Now it’s time for some maths

 

 

Which job will you choose today?

Time to get outdoors!

 

What about a story for today?

Did you manage to answer the questions?

 

Yoga time!

 

Finally, time for some relaxation……

I hope you enjoy your Wednesday.

Group 5 Circle Time – Wednesday 13th May

Hello everyone,

How are you today? Today I am feeling like Mr Greedy. I went to the shops when I was feeling hungry and bought cookies and lots of things to put on homemade pizza. I am going to end up looking like this –

Who do you feel like today? Remember to ask someone in your house how they are feeling too.

The forecast for today is forecast to be sunny but cold.

Movement time indoors I think. How about a song about camels to warm you up?

For Life-skills why don’t you help to clean the windows or mirrors to help the sun shine in?

Then check out literacy with Laura by clicking on Language skills (secondary).

Then it is time to get moving again with PE with Pedro.

Take a break and then come back for a story at 10.30. Today’s story is

Have a lunch break and then it is time for Science with me, so check out my post in the Science section.

Last thing of the day is Health and Well-being. Today why don’t you design your perfect pizza. You could make a drawing, cut pictures out of magazines or play this online pizza game. Enjoy!
