Happy Monday! I hope that you had a good weekend.

Here are some activities for today:

To warm your fingers up get some play dough and squeeze it! Then roll it, stretch it, make it into a ball. How many ways can you change the shape of the play dough?

For another activity can you make a snake using wool or string and pasta or beads.

For a bit of maths fun find some small objects like stones, gems or pom poms. How many have you got? What shapes are there? Are they all the same size? Which ones are bigger?

For phonics try this Letters and Sounds activity: (Aspect 1: General sound discrimination: environmental sounds: Listening and Remembering Sounds.) Describe and find it:

Set up a model farmyard. Describe one of the animals but do not tell the child its
name. Say, for example: This animal has horns, four legs and a tail. Ask them to say which animal it is. Ask them to make the noise the animal might make. When they are familiar with the game let them take the part of the adult and describe the animal.

This activity can be repeated with other sets of objects such as zoo animals, toy sets
based on transport (e.g. aeroplane, car, train, bus, boat) and musical instruments. It can
be made more challenging by introducing sets of random objects to describe and name.

Look at stories in Class Dojo’s for story time.

Have a lovely day!
