Morning Boys and Girls

We hope you are enjoying the activities. As always we would love to see photo's of you learning. Please send your photos or video clips to the email address that you will find to the right hand side of this page.
Game 1: Feely bag Todays shape is a square. I would like you to gather a range of square objects and place them in a feely bag (pillow case) e.g. lid of a Tupperware container, square puzzle piece, book, coaster, toy, envelope etc. Let your child feel around and pull one out at a time. Challenge your child to name/sign the shape.

Game 2: Still thinking about the properties of 2 D shapes, today I would like you to play this game with your child. Parents, you will need to read the text to your child so they can sort the shapes correctly. Start at Level 1 and work your way up. We have played this game in school. Can your child remember?
2D Shapes Carroll Diagrams
Game 3: Begin to recognise basic line symmetry. This is a learn through exploration task. You will need paints, paper and an outline of a butterfly or ladybird. Your child will paint symmetrical ladybirds and butterflies, e.g. by folding a piece of paper, painting an outline of a ladybird or butterfly on one side of the fold, painting spots on the same side, then folding and pressing a hand along the fold to create a symmetrical pattern. Parents discuss with your child that to make a symmetrical pattern it will be 'exactly the same' on both sides.

The Gingerbread Man didn't want to cross the river, why? Couldn't he swim or did he know that something would happen to his body? For an exciting way to explore Science with your little ones, why not set up this Gingerbread Man in different puddles experiment? I've added the links below. All you need is four bowls- fill each one with a different liquid to make your puddles. In this experiment, we used water, oil, fruit juice and vinegar. Put one gingerbread man in each of the bowls. Make sure you make a prediction before you do so- what will happen to them? Don't worry if your child isn't able to make predictions on their own yet. Parents you are introducing them to "I wonder questions". A beginning step to spark their interest.

Fine Motor Hammer it!
These ideas may get your house messy!!
Below are some ideas for using a toy hammer. You may need to use a child's plastic hammer or something similar. All of the activities are to enhance your child's fine motor and co ordination skills. Happy hammering!
Literacy 
Game 1: Sounds Shakers Today I would like you to make a sound shaker. Partially fill either opaque plastic bottles with noisy materials e.g. peas, pebbles, marbles, shells, coins). Ask the children to shake the bottles, listen to the sounds. Do they make a loud or quiet sound? You could use these bottles to accompany a favourite song. I've attached a 'how to' YouTube clip.
Game 2: Musical corners/ Initial sound Game Put a chair/cushion in each corner of the room, or outdoors. Collect four sets of objects, each set containing objects with names that start with the same sound. e.g. string, soldier, socks, snake, then in another corner tomato, tea, teddy, Twix.  (Four different initial sounds are represented.) Keep back one object from each set and place the remaining sets on each of the four chairs/cushions. At first, the children sit in a circle or facing you. Name each of the four sets of objects, giving emphasis to the initial sound. Explain that now there will be music to move around or dance to and that when the music stops the children are to listen. You will show them an object and they should go to the corner where they think it belongs.
Game 3: This is a quick and easy game to reinforce Capital and lower case letters. You will need an empty kitchen roll and blank stickers. Randomly write capital letters onto the tube and the lower case letters onto the stickers. Challenge your child to match the letters up. I've added a letter stripe to help them.

    The Coronavirus means that the parents have become the teachers and school is at home. For some children this extension of the school holiday and being at home is confusing. The routines have changed and has brought different challenges and behaviours. Below is a link to the Barnardo's website. Here you will find a range of resources, tools, videos and more for children with special educational needs and disability.
