Sway Uphall Early Learning Centre

Hello to all our friends from Uphall Early Learning Centre

I hope that you are all well, all your teachers are keeping well.

We have been exploring spring and when the children are with us they find it fascinating when they find a bug, a flower or see an animal.  With this in mind please find our spring sway presentation attached for you to look at and talk to your child about the pictures or comments.  Just click to view Sway Uphall Early Learning Centre

We hope that you enjoy the content. It is very rewarding for us to hear what the children have said.  Please post us a message and let us know.

Stay safe

Regards

Uphall ELC

Good morning P3!🌞

Firstly, I hope you are all remembering to do your PE lessons every morning with #pewithjoe !?

Here is  a reminder to do your online safety work! You can find the information here https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/Support-tools/home-activity-worksheets/5-7s/?utm_source=Thinkuknow&utm_campaign=03f521e658-TUK_ONLINE_SAFETY_AT_HOME_21_04_20&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0b54505554-03f521e658-64731450

There are 4 home activities packs for you to work through at your own pace but try to complete them all by Friday.

If you have any problems then please let me know!

Fun challenge!

Make an obstacle course in your garden or house.

Predict how long you think it’ll take you to complete.

Time how long it takes you to do it. Was your prediction correct?

Who is the fastest in your household? Can you beat your time? How can you complete it more efficiently? Look in a dictionary and find out what efficiently means!

Remember be safe! Ask an adult to use things for your obstacle course.

Take a picture and post on Twitter! I’d love to see what you build!

Can you draw a picture of your dream obstacle course if you could build anything!?

Here is mine!
