Hi Everyone

Once you have warmed up how about helping in the house for life-skills?

Hello Everyone,

How are you today? Today, I feel like Mr Forgetful because I keep forgetting to do things and forgetting what I have in my kitchen cupboards to make for dinner!

Who do you feel like today? Remember to ask someone in your house too?

The weather today looks like it is going to be sunny and cloudy but it rained last night so for movement why don’t you go outside and see if the rain has woken up any snails. Let me know if you find any.

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had lovely weekends.

Here is someone you might recognise doing the sign for ‘how are you?’

Some friends of ours ask ‘How are you?’

So, how are you today?

Today I feel like Mr Bump because I worked hard in the garden this weekend and now I am a bit sore!

Today looks like a another sunny day. How about doing your movement outside again today?

How about some yoga disco? Hot air-ballooning sounds good.

For lifeskills today how about making a picnic snack to take outside? You could cut up some fruit for a fruit salad and pop into a plastic cup so that it is safe to eat outside.

After lunch it is time for outdoor learning with Gerry. I wonder what he has got planned for you?

At the end of the day it is Health and Well-being, so why not go back outside and do some cloud watching. Find somewhere comfortable to sit or lie down and watch the clouds. I can see an elephant in these clouds. I wonder what shapes you will see.

Who are you feeling like today?

The weather forecast says it is going to be sunny again today so for your movement time why don’t you go outside and see how many animals you can spot. Remember to look on the ground for insects and in the trees and sky for birds.

Friday in my house is cleaning day. Everyone helps out to get the house nice and clean for the weekend. For Lifeskills today what could you do to help out in your house?

do the dishes?

make your bed?

help with the dusting?

For Literacy today check out Laura’s activities in literacy and language or you could find a comfortable spot in your house to read a story. How about choosing one of these stories from The Booktrust? I think I might read along to Some Dogs Do.

Group 5 Circle Time Thursday 23rd April

Hello everyone,

Today I am feeling like Little Miss Chatterbox. I had a quiet day yesterday so today I feel like having a good natter so I am going to phone my dad and wish him a happy birthday.

Who could you call on the phone for a chat?

Today’s weather is going to be sunny and dry again. Our gardens haven’t had any rain for a long time now. For Lifeskills today perhaps you could water the plants in your garden or hang the washing on the line.

For movement today choose a favourite song to dance to. I am going to dance to one of my all time favourites for dancing too ‘Cotton Eye Joe’.

Once you have warmed up it is time for Maths so check out Steve’s Maths posts for your activities for today.

After that it is Fiddly Fingers and your challenge for the day is to make a jigsaw. How about using an old cereal box to make one like this. Perhaps someone else in your family could make one too and then you could try doing theirs and they could do yours. To make it more difficult you could cut the picture into more pieces.

After a break it is story time. Today’s story is Alfie and the Birthday Surprise so check out the blog at 10.30 to see and hear it.

Check out Sign of the day with Lorna and then it is time for Music with Connie and Gordon.

After lunch it is time for Dance with Rachel so check out her moves in the dance section.

To finish the day why not give someone a hand massage in sensory time? It is nice if you have hand-cream or baby lotion but it is fine without too. Perhaps you could have a massage too!

Have lovely days, Sarah

Who do you feel like today?

Today is going to be nice and sunny again. Did you manage to do any jobs outside yesterday? I know that Leah spent sometime outside practising darts in her garden and Derek has been outside walking the dog. I washed my car. It was very dirty!

For movement today you could go outside and do some exercises. How about trying some of these …

Make Fitness More Fun with a Spelling Workout – Lesson Plans

I am going to try it. To spell out Sarah I will have to bend down and touch my toes 20 times (S), jump up and down 10 times (a), walk like a bear (r), jump up and down 10 times (a) and hop like a frog 8 times (h). I think I can manage that. Let me know how you get on with your exercises.

Finally for Health and Wellbeing I think we all deserve a chill time. Find somewhere comfortable to relax and listen to some calming music. I will be listening to this …

Have a great day and remember to let me know what you have been up to.

Group 5 Circle Time Tuesday 21st April

Hello everyone,

Today I am feeling like Little Miss Sunshine because it is going to be another beautiful sunny day.

Who are you feeling like today? Remember to ask the people in your family how they are feeling too.

As it is so sunny you could do some water art outside. You just need a bowl of water and a sponge or brush and you can ‘paint’ with the water. On a sunny day like today it will dry very quickly and then you can paint something else. Perhaps you could time how long it takes to dry.

For Movement today why don’t you check out these stretches. You can do as many of them as you like.

For life-skills today could you do some outside jobs?  Like washing the car, weeding the garden or cleaning the windows?

At Dance time check out Rachel’s posts for some new moves.

For ICT have a look at the activities suggested by Steve and Kirsty or you could visit the BBC games site a choose a couple of games to play

https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/games

After break it is time for a story. Today’s story will be posted at 10.30 and it is Hairy Maclary’s bone.

Meet Hairy Maclary and his friends as Hairy Maclary does his best to keep his bone away from his hungry friends.

After the story, visit the Sign of the day page for some more signs with Lorna.

For fiddly fingers today could you do some threading? Let me know what you found to thread and I will post some pictures of my attempts!

This afternoon check out Scot’s posts for Gardening / CDT and for Health and Wellbeing why don’t you do a cake design for the Pinewood Cake competition. Make a design for a cake anyway you like and then send me a photo.

Whatever you do, have a great day. Sarah
