Hello all!
I hope you all had a good Monday the weather was better than I expected and we managed our daily walk and Ollie, our dog, tried to pull a fallen tree from the stream again! Enjoy the photos below!
I believe that today is going to rainy but I hope you will still manage a daily walk in the rain. The world looks and sounds so different in the rain; so put on your rain coats and welly boots and enjoy this wet day!
Today I am excited to post the first of five musical activities devised and filmed by Mrs Heap and her husband! I will post one each day. It is a fabulous watch and will also inspire you to make your own instruments. Please click the arrow below to watch:
Please click the blue day one for the words to this song!
When you go out today for your daily walk or in your house get everybody to stay still and quiet for a minute and after the minute talk about the sounds you could hear.
Listening skills are so important to all areas of our learning and the more we practice listening the better we will get! Listening is vital for us to hear and distinguish sounds which aid our reading as well as helping us to dance to a beat of some favourite music or tap along in time to the beat of song as in Mrs Heap’s video. Mrs Heap would love to see photos of you making music.
Yesterday I suggested you cut circles to make different moon shapes inspired by the story “Papa get the moon for me!”~ did you manage this! Did you create a full moon(whole circle), half a moon (semi circle) and did you manage a crescent shape moon and a slither of moon. This was a challenge for your scissor skills!
Practice your cutting skills by cutting out your favourite pictures from magazines or cutting up play dough!
Kieran enjoyed finding stones which became his moon rocks which he ordered by size and counted. Can you find items around your house and arrange them or sort them in your own way and count them?
I have added a very short story for you to watch. The animals in this story get very muddy! It is called “Mrs Wishy Washy.” Enjoy!
We hope you have fab day creating music, splashing in puddles, taking time to listen, cutting and drawing but above all having fun and staying safe!
Mrs Heap, Mrs Coleman and Mrs Penn
