Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a good weekend.

Bag of surprises
Fill a bag with different bits and pieces from around the house, such as utensils, shoes or a hair brush etc the list is endless. Let your child choose something from the bag and see if they can name what it is and what it does or is used for.Ask your child to describe what they are holding encouraging them to use descriptive language such as “it has a long handle which is hard, the bristles are soft and black……”.
You could expand this game even further by putting a few items in the bag and ask your child to close their eyes. Encourage them to build a picture in their mind as you describe one of the items in the bag. They will have great fun trying to guess what you are describing.
Story
Everybody’s Welcome by Patricia Hegarty.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could build a home that opened its doors to everyone – tall or short, fat or thin, rich or poor… Well, perhaps if everybody pitches in to help, one little mouse can achieve that dream.
Matching and Sorting
A game your child can play on their devices. They have to find where things belong after a storm has mixed everything up. Lets see if they can put things back in the correct place.
General Interest

How to make a paper aeroplane
Before you make your paper aeroplane you could colour or design a pattern on your paper. Once you have completed your aeroplane see how far it flies. Have a competition with your family to see who can fly their aeroplane the furthest.
