We will be learning specifically about crustaceans, arachnids and insects which are types of invertebrates.

Panda Class Home Learning Friday 29th January

Hi Pandas!  Happy Friday…

Thank you so much for your wonderful work and great effort you put into it.  I realise how hard it is to maintain enthusiasm, but you are doing a great job!

Today we will focus on catching up and trying some other activities.  Like last Friday, we can do lots of lovely Friday things…

Try this activity,

Take It Outside Winter Stem Tree Bark Rubbing Activity

Play is very important to a child’s development, it is an integral part of a child’s Early Years Foundation Stage and supports their learning too. Young children can develop many skills through the power of play. They may develop their language skills, emotions, creativity and social skills. Play helps to nurture imagination and give a child a sense of adventure. Through this, they can learn essential skills such as problem solving, working with others, sharing and much more.

https://positivepsychology.com/mindfulness-for-children-kids-activities/ This link is to Positive Psychology – and has lots of games and tips to reduce stress and focus on positive thinking.

Have a really lovely weekend, and if you have any concerns or just want to share something, let me know.

Best wishes
