Good morning Snow Leopards. I hope you are well.
This week we have lots of exciting things planned. I hope you will join us at home.
Cooking ~ We will be making cupcakes (appropriate COVID guidance,1 household per bake) We are making a Victoria Sponge. Talking to the children about measuring and quantities. They will help to pour, mix and scoop the ingredients into their cupcake case.
We will be setting a timer for the children to keep an eye on, allowing them to become more aware of lengths of time.
Planting ~ Our spider plants in nursery have sprouted little plants so we have placed each in their own pot. We will be watching a short clip about the growth of plants.
We are encouraging each child to tend to their own plant, ensuring it is getting plenty of sunshine and water.

The children can also learn some Makaton signs relating to gardening.
Dingle Dangle Scarecrow ~ A short, enjoyable song for the children to join in and dance too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXxa2SVlQyE
PE ~ We will be taking part in a short session. We will start by warming up our bodies (Sticky Kids on youtube), then play ‘Walk the Plank’ – Apply masking tape to the floor in a long straight line or draw a line using chalk outside. Encourage the children to walk carefully along the line ensuring they don’t wobble off!
You can make the activity more challenging by balancing a beanbag or cushion on their head. If this is still too easy experiment with different ways of moving; hopping, skipping, sidesteps or walking backwards – but remember… don’t fall off!
Remember to continue short phonics activities with your child.

Only practice set 1 sounds, there are videos to help you and lots of resources for your children to enjoy.
I hope you enjoy these activities. Please take photos and add them to Dojo for us to see all of your hard work!
Stay safe
