Good morning.  We can have a lot of fun with bubbles and straws today so let’s get going!

On Thursdays we start the day with P.E.  Please see Gerry and Pedro’s posts for a very special P.E. today – Sports day!

Now its time for the morning circle.

 

Don’t forget Lorna’s Sign of the Day – category sign of the day.

Orange Class Challenge:

Alice has been busy again!  Is there no limit to her imagination!

Make a fantastic Bubble machine!

 

We also have Art with David Bennett on a Thursday.  David has some super ideas for      bubble art below and we know how much the Orange Class like bubbles!

 

 

Now, how about some maths?  Have a shot at this.  It is not as easy as it looks!

 

 

Today, lets sharpen up on our listening skills.  Try to identify the animal sounds – it’s fun!

How about some movement?   What about a class favourite? We’re Going on a Bear Hunt!

That was fun.
Story time!

Today’s story is ‘I don’t want to go to bed’.   Group 5 had a look at this yesterday.

Sensory fun!

Did you try it?

Finally, some relaxation.  Follow the bubble……

Have a super Thursday!

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.

picture of shaving cream rain clouds

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.

Hello everyone,

I hope you had a lovely long weekend and that you were able to spend some time outside in the sunshine.

Today I feel like Mr Bounce. The nice sunny weather makes me feel like bouncing about in the garden to get some exercise.

How do you feel today?

This sunny weather means there are lots of insects in our gardens. For movement today why not go outside and see what you can spot.

Can you find a butterfly or a ladybird? Use this spotter sheet to help you.

For life skills choose an outside job like washing the car, watering the plants or tidying up the garden.
