Great Science Share Week 1

International Dawn Chorus Day is held annually on the first Sunday in May, when people are encouraged to get up early to listen to bird song. Be inspired to take time to listen to wildlife sounds around you throughout the week.

Things to think about:

• What time of day do we see most birds?
• What types of birds can I see near me?
• Is there a pattern in the sounds I hear and the time of day?

Things to try:

• Tune into Birdsong radio
• Identify a bird from its song / call https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2019/04/identify-bird-song/
• Build a bird bath https://www.rspb.org.uk/fun-and-learning/for-families/family-wild-challenge/activities/build-a-bird-bath/

Here are some bird spotter guides to help you identify the birds you see.

Good morning everyone 🤗 We hope you are all well ?

Here are some activities to keep you busy throughout this week.

In nursery we love playing with play dough……maybe you could try making some at home 😀 Try making some different shapes with your play dough or make some currant buns and sing the song 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

What you will need:

8 tbsp plain flour

2 tbsp salt

60 ml water

1 tbsp vegetable oil

food colouring

Method

1. Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl add the water, oil  and a few drops of food colouring.

2. Pour the coloured water and oil into the flour,  mix and bring together with a spoon.

3. Knead the mixture together for a few minutes to form a smooth dough.

4. Store in a plastic bag in the fridge to keep it fresh.

5. Try making different colours.

Have fun 😀

We are missing you all so much. We would love if you could draw a picture of your key worker. Remember and add as much detail as you can, including hair, eyes etc. This will help develop your fine motor skills and imagination. You can upload these to your learning journal.  We look forward to seeing them 👱🏻‍♀️🧓👩‍🦱

Have a good week from the ELC team 🌈
