Good morning everyone!!!!
I hope that you are all doing well and have managed to enjoy some family time together over the last two weeks. We have been really lucky with the weather so getting out and about for your daily exercise will have been more enjoyable than if it had been raining or worse snowing!!!
So we have some more suggestions of activities that you can be doing at home with the children.

Environment
The Wildlife Trust have a very good website that you may like to look at. It has lots of information that may be of interest to your child. On the website there are instructions on how to make a bee hotel. We all know that the bees are really important for the pollination of our crops etc and there numbers have been on the decline over the last few years. Below is the link on how to do this, something you could do and place in your garden or hang outside from your window.

For those with a bigger garden or outdoor space you could even expand this and build a bug hotel. This is on quite a large scale but could be adapted to fit in a space that you have. The children love exploring the bug hotel and finding all the different insects.

Cross curricular activities
Learning sizes, colours, feelings, time, shapes and more with this video –
This is something that you could use to introduce your child to different curricular activities. This is a long video that lasts for over 40 minutes but you could use it in small sections and develop your child’s understanding of the concepts by playing games at home. For example the first part is based around size: you could look for items at home, pots and look at the different sizes of the pots talking about which would hold more or less? How many small pots of water would it take to fill the big pot? These activities could be done over several days.
Enjoy the rest of your day, more activities will be posted tomorrow.
Take care and stay safe.
