Group 8 Friday Fun
Wednesday 25th of March
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?
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!
