You can try shaving foam

Art
Make a rainbow!
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. 🙂
Science

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.
Amy
Jack and the Beanstalk
Please find bellow a link to short – 3 minute, easy to follow videos about Jack and the Beanstalk for the Orange Class to watch. There is a sequencing exercise you could try at the bottom.
Jack and the Beanstalk
Jack and the Beanstalk video clips
When you have finished all of the episodes you could try sequencing the story.
If your child finds it hard, you could fill in most of the answers and leave only one or two gaps. Then you could rinse and repeat!
A pdf is available here. jack_sequencing
If you have a printer you could print the pdf file, cut out the pictures with your child and glue the pictures on to card. You could then carry out the sequencing many times making it easier or harder as appropriate.
Have fun! David
Good morning Pink Class!
