Group 8 Tasks

Leave a reply

Good morning group 8

Here are some tasks you can enjoy today

Why not start by looking around the house for lots of different objects, you can then sort them into different colours. Count them and decide which is the highest number.

Next after all that hard work, relax and sing along to Gigglebellies. Click on the picture below.

It is now time for a snack. I think you have earned it.

Here is a challenge for you. Can you find lots of things that feel different. You can then lay them on the floor to create your very own tactile road.

Make sure to look out the window and check on the weather.

After some lunch it is time to help out around the house. There might be some jobs in the kitchen to do.

Lets finish the day with a spot of gardening. There might be a job you can do like some tidying up or digging up some weeds.

Lets end the day with a song

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning Silver class!

Let’s get Tuesday started..

Hello/Calendar/Movement

Have a look at my “circle time” post.

Choose a movement song from the “movement” section on the blog or just dance along to your favourite song with your family! 🙂

Lily’s mummy told me she has been busy helping mummy with the washing! Can you help sort the washing into different colours? Can you help your mummy or daddy put a washing in the machine?

Technology

Today’s challenge..

Maths (on yesterday’s timetable)

Let’s combine Maths with some exercise today!

Go out on a hunt for these pictures in people’s windows. Count how many you can see and write it in the boxes. You can colour it in before or after you go 🙂 Have fun!

If you can’t print these out then don’t worry – Just take a piece of paper and pen with you. You could also draw your own pictures before you go out.

Dance

There are some brilliant ideas on the “dance” section of the blog.

Or you can try some Go Noodle on YouTube today.

Nicole has shared a video teaching us how to do Story massage. Have a go yourself at home. There’s 2 stories below to choose from (click to make bigger).

Sign of the Day

Don’t forget to follow along to Lorna’s sign of the day.. I wonder what it will be today?

Fiddly Fingers

See what you can try lifting with some washing pegs. If you don’t have pompoms you can use some cotton wool balls or some pebbles from outside.

Gardening

Have a look at the “gardening” section on the blog – Scott has posted some lovely ideas there.

It’s been a long, busy day! Let’s relax now..

Music with Gordon: Secondary

Leave a reply

Hi everyone!

We’re all getting used to working in new ways away from our usual classrooms, but we can still have fun making music.

What to do today

Please join in with the activities below. The more who can join in, the more fun, too. Do the activities as many times as you like.

Activities (links below)

    1. Hello song
    2. Bounce and catch. You’ll need a ball for this.
    3. Tap and clap along to Cho-co-la-te
    4. Watch this video that Connie shared and clap and tap along to the sounds.
    5. Play the video again, but this time play along with some instruments – if you don’t have any, see what you can find around you that can make a good sound. We will look at some simple home made instruments later in the week.
    6. Time to get up and dance! Electroswing -Lost in the Rhythm, Jamie Berry Feat. Octavia Rose. Can you move your feet, arms and hands to the music like the dancer? You can play your instruments too if you like, or get  scarf to play with.
    7. And now, time to chill. Here’s another piece of music by the French composer Erik Satie. It was originally for piano, but suits the guitar as well. You may want to play it more than once.
    8. Goodbye Song. Time to say goodbye! Thank you for your music. Hope you had some fun, see you all next time!

It’s Monday! Wakey, wakey! Let’s start with a good morning song.

Let’s play a favourite learning game – ‘Wall Touch’

Write days of the week on pieces of paper. Place the pieces of paper around the room or blu-tac to the walls. Everyone stands in the middle of the room. Someone shouts out a day of the week and everyone races to find it and touches it. Repeat for other days of the week. Mix the cards up and try again. Have fun!

Here’s a little challenge for a walk today. As you wander around your estate or garden collect items to record your journey. What can you find that nature has provided? Tie them to a stick to help tell your journey story. Was it fun? Were you happy? What did you find? Did you find any feathers? What animal did they come from?

Movement Monday

Leave a reply

Happy Monday everyone,

I hope you enjoyed the previous 4 days of movement with Joe Wicks. Today we will continue with Joe for Movement Monday.

Again this will be a short 5 minute activity to set you up for the day. You still have the option of using the cards and you can download these to help with the video should you wish.

Today’s cards to match the video 5 min Move Workout Day 1

Its important that you do what you can and adapt any exercises where appropriate. Over the coming days we will add more videos and possibly some alternatives.

The objective is movement therefore don’t stress to much if it becomes a struggle. Just allow the children to move and do what they can for those 5 minutes. The clips uploaded are just a guide.

Have fun and lets get moving!
