This is a great action song to sing and dance along to! It’s a good way to express yourselves in a more lively and energetic way, letting out all that energy you may have, as well as learning to listen and follow directions that are given in the music and it is a fun dance to learn.

For anyone who may not have been able to get to the school to pick up your pack, here is this weeks PEEP home learning!

Last week some of our children loved exploring the snow and ice! Making welly boot prints and tyre tracks with the big trucks and even making a little snowman.

Here is the link again to the second word boost story. We have listened to this before but hopefully it will refresh the everyone’s memories and help them understand the home learning activities below.

Can you find the words in the rhyme that sound alike, can you think of other words that sound like these words as well?

Weaving, finger painting, printing, colouring in, cutting and gluing are all ways to develop your child’s fine motor skills.

Why not use the Christmas cards you are going to discard to make the scales for your own Rainbow Fish.

Use a cereal box to cut out a fish shape cut slots in the card where you could use leftover wrapping paper to weave in between to create your fish.

Using clothes pegs to hold cotton wool or if mums and dads have any bottle corks use these to print the scales on your fish shape.

Or using whatever you can find around the house make a mosaic fish by cutting small bits of car/paper using these to create the scales.

Here are a few different ideas on how to make different bird feeders.

We always have great fun in nursery making bird feeders and learning about taking care of the birds in winter.

Make your own bird feeder using Cheerio’s (breakfast cereal)

Thread breakfast ‘Cheerio’s’ onto string, pipe cleaners, wire, or wool. Tie the ends tightly and hang them on your fence post, tree branches or washing line.
