Early Learning Centre Weekly Activities (19th May)

Hello everyone,

Here are some home learning activities for this week about rabbits as they are a sign of Spring.

Lets start with learning a song:

Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose,

Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose.

Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose,

So he flipped it and he flopped it and the fly flew away.

Floppy ears and curly whiskers,

Floppy ears and curly whiskers,

Floppy ears and curly whiskers

So he flipped it and he flopped it and the fly flew away.

Would you like to play a quick game? The bunny ears game is a great game to play with a family member using your hands and fingers. Show how well you know your numbers by using your fingers to represent numbers. Can you make bunny ears using number 4, so you will need to count two fingers on one hand and count two fingers on the other. Count them to make sure you have 4 and then raise your hands up above your head and flap your two fingers on each hand to make bunny ears. Try again with another number from 1-10.

Have a look around your house for a book about a rabbit to read along with a family member.  A suggestion would be ‘Guess How Much I Love You’ by Sam McBratney.

What about making a rabbit using junk materials, paint/pencils. See what you have around your house and get creative. Think about what parts of the rabbit you could add to your creation? Maybe the Peter Rabbit song will help you with ideas. We would really like to see your rabbit so please post a picture on your learning journal.

Have fun from the ELC Team .🌈🐰
