Hi Everyone,
A couple of ideas for fiddly fingers.
First, can you build a ‘kitchen stuff’ tower? Make sure you ask an adult before you try this! I managed to build this one, it is about 1 metre tall. Can you do any better?
Fiddly finger tower made of stuff I found in the kitchen
Or how about filling a muffin or cupcake tin with different items. To make it more difficult you could do it just using your less dominant hand or using a spoon or tweezers.
This was my attempt …
My attempt at filling a muffin tin with 12 different things.
If you think you can name the 12 different things send me a reply and I will let you know if you are right!
Good luck.
More fiddly finger ideas tomorrow.

Hi all,
I have added an alternative to Movement Activities for our children should you wish or prefer to use the below videos. All videos are from YouTube therefore you may be able to display them on your TV as opposed to smaller devices, should your home equipment allow this.
These short clips are representative of some of the short videos i used with our primary pupils last year. Many of our secondary pupils still really enjoy them and have been known to try to join in while they are passing Primary taking part in our PE hall. So please let them have a go and join in.
Please use them as you wish. You don’t need to do them all. This is just some alternative ideas which will provide some sense of recognition and familiarity to our children.
In particular some of these clips were used as opportunities to stretch and follow instructions for those children with particular movement limitations.
If i can help in any way in relation to PE, Movement and Outdoor Learning then please feel free to drop me an email.

Gardening
The Silver class planted some Sunflower seeds and had some lovely plants before school closed (as part of our “Living Things” topic. Let’s have a look and see how they are doing!
Wow!! Looks like some of the seeds are growing and we are starting to see some stem poking through the compost! Well done Silver class! Here is a sunflower diary you can download if you like, or you can make your own at home by just drawing what you see in the pictures and telling an adult.

Hi all,
Here is a fun activity to get you moving, if you have limited mobility then you can adapt the exercise or repeat one from another letter.
Ask an adult to help you spell your name and do the exercise for each letter. What other words can you spell.
Good morning everyone.
After you have completed your Circle time activities today, you might like to continue learning about good hygiene and how we keep our hands clean. We have been talking about this at school and done some activities. Today, I would like you to have a look at the video below about the importance of washing our hands.
Click here (require sign up to access the video, it’s free)
Check out the link below to a PowerPoint which teaches us how best to wash our hands. You could do this together.
If you have a printer, you can print out and complete this activity “when do you wash your hands” (click when do you wash hands).
Have a good day!
