Let’s practise some writing today, The Silver class looove writing in different materials.

You can try shaving foam

Or try salt, sand, rice, paint – anything at all. Your imagination is your only limit 🙂

Can you try writing your name? How many pictures can you draw? Maybe you could try some numbers too? It’s messy and it’s fun!

Try some of Gerry or Pedro’s ideas on the blog.

Remember there is also Joe Wicks on YouTube and also Oti Mabusa online too – take this time to have some fun and learn a new dance moves 🙂

Rainbows are bringing people together during this difficult time. Let’s get involved Silver class! I want to see your best rainbows 🙂 You can colour, paint, use strips of materials/felt/tissue, use window chalk or paint, whatever you can find. 🙂

Health and Wellbeing (HWB)

Time to get out the house! Go out into your garden or out for a walk. Take a note (either write it down or just tell an adult) – what can you see? What can you smell? What can you hear?

Come up with as many things as possible. This is called being “mindful” and it is very good at keeping us calm and in the moment. It’s important to be as mindful as possible just now and enjoy the moment.

 

Have a lovely day everyone.

Good morning Pink Class!

Let’s see what we could do today.

First of all let’s get singing with our families! Wakey, wakey!

Calendar –

Let’s think about days of the week today. Can you teach someone in your family our days of the week song? Can you teach them our signs?

Movement –

Check out the movement section. There are some great activities posted here.

Lifeskills –

Use the Tablespoon Biscuit recipe from your home learning pack to make some yummy biscuits. After all of this movement you deserve a yummy treat!

Literacy –

Try one of the sound/literacy tasks from your pack.

Practise writing the letters of the alphabet (use different colours for each letter).

P.E.-

Check out the P.E. section for some ideas or play a game in your garden.

Story –

Today why don’t you develop your listening skills and tune in to David Walliams reading one of his stories. He reads a new story every day at 11am. Each story is around 15 to 20 minutes long.

Art – 

Children are being asked to paint or draw a rainbow and put it in a window at the front of the house. During this time of social distancing, families can go for a walk and children can look for rainbows!

Science –

We have been looking at water in the Pink Class.

Let’s do a floating and sinking experiment.

Find 10 things around your house. Do you think they will float or sink when you put them into water? Guess then experiment. Were you right? Why/why not?

s0f Floating and sinking investigation.

HWB –

Look for healthy food choices in your fridge or cupboard.

Can you eat 4 healthy foods today? I’m going to try this too!

Today’s challenge –

Indoor scavenger hunt, Get someone to time you. Challenge someone in your family to do it faster!

Have fun today Pink Class!

Fiddly fingers – Tuesday 24th March

2 Replies

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.

Alternative to Movement – Some New and Familiar Activities

Leave a reply

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.
