Hello again!

I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s activities. Here are some suggested activities for today:

When we are at the beach we see lots of things – one of those is water! Today I would like you to have a big tub of water and find lots of pots. Take time to explore the water and pots. Which one do you think will hold the most water?

How could you change the water? Use different things from around the house to change the water. Maybe you could use food colouring or bubble bath?

Look on Class Dojo stories for our ‘n’ phonics activity.

Don’t forget to keep moving! Find Oti Mabuse on Youtube and try out the ‘Kids in America’ dance. The link is below:

Another activity you could do is to find your lego and see what you can build. Could you build a boat to go out to sea on?

Don’t forget to send photos and have a lovely day, Leanne.

You have made it to Friday!

I hope you had fun making your junk box vehicles yesterday.

Here are some suggested activities for today:

Make a collage of what you think you would find at the beach. You could use and cut up photographs, magazines or catalogues. Would you find a bucket and spade or would you find a play house? What do you think? Everything that you cut out glue into your purple sketch book to make a picture. You can use crayons and other craft materials too.

For phonics take a look on Phonics Play and follow the link below:

Draw numerals 1-5 in your purple sketch book. Go around your house and find one of something, two of something, three of something etc and place it next to the numeral and then take a photo.

You need to keep moving so try this Spiderman work out. It’s great fun! I would love to see some videos or photos! Follow this link:

Don’t forget to keep a look out on Class Dojo stories for some videos from me.

Have a great day, Leanne.

Hello! I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s activities. Did you all have a go at  practicing the Makaton sign for sunglasses? Here are some activities for today:

We packed a bag yesterday for a holiday but how can we get there? Can you please look at some different modes of transport (using books or the internet) and then using junk box items (e.g. yoghurt pots, food boxes etc) make a model of the vehicle which will get you there.

For phonics could you please listen to Jolly Phonics Phase One on YouTube and learn the song for the first sound of your name, for example if your name is Bob listen to all of the Jolly Phonics songs and then go back and learn the song for ‘b’. It would be great to see some videos! When you have done this grab a pot of water and a paintbrush and practice drawing the first sound in your name on your path / wall (anywhere that will show up with water).

In your purple sketch book can you please draw a circle and then go on a circle hunt in your house and garden. If you find any objects with circles draw these in your book too.

For some fun physical movement try this out. Follow this link:

and join in with ‘Under the sea’ from the Little mermaid. It looks like great fun!

Have a lovely day, Leanne.

Hello everyone!!

I hope you have had as good an Easter break as you could have done. Thank you for sending me lots of photographs of the activities that you have been doing at home. I love seeing photos of you doing some of the activities that I post on here.

So….we are now into the Summer Term and what should be the last term in Nursery for some of our children. I will continue to post home learning suggestions for as long as we are not in Nursery. These activities are suggestions but it would be great if you could continue to do them with your children. Our theme will be ‘The Seaside’ so something which can provide lots of lovely activities.

Today I would like you to spend time finding and looking at old holiday photographs. Support your child in talking about the photos and what they can see. Who is in the photo? What were they doing? How old do they think they were then? Also use this as an opportunity to look at shapes and colours in the photographs. Once you have done this your child could make a collage in their purple sketch book with some of the photos found.

For our daily phonics please go to www. phonicsplay.co.uk and then sign in (information below):

For another activity sing ‘One, two, three, four, five….’  with your child. The lyrics are below (remember to use your fingers as a visual representation).

One, two, three, four, five
Once I caught a fish alive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Then I let it go again

Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right

One, two, three, four, five
Once I caught a crab alive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Then I let it go again

Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right

One, two, three, four, five
Once I caught an eel alive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Then I let it go again

Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right

Don’t forget to send photos and videos of your child doing these activities (through Class Dojo). If you have any questions please get in touch.

Leanne.

As it is Easter…have lots of fun! Enjoy being together.

Below are some suggestions of things that you could do together:

Draw, colour in and cut out Easter eggs and rabbits. Use these to have an Easter hunt together.

Make some Easter nests to eat. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/shredded-wheat-nests

Here is a good page for other Easter treats that you can make together:  https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/fun-easter-projects-kids

I would love to see what you have done over the Easter break so feel free to send any photos through Class Dojo.

Happy Easter, Leanne.

Hi everyone!

Here are today’s suggested tasks:

Take a look at a mini music session. Type Myleene’s music class into YouTube and then put on ‘The one where we learn basic rhythms and then play your name’. There are some real musical words used but the children should really like the activity.

Visit DDMIX on Facebook where a member of Darcey Bussell’s team will take the children through a dance routine. These happen at 1:30pm live every afternoon but you can also watch past ones on the Facebook page. If you watch a past one you may have to fast forward as there may be a little talking before the dance begins!

Today and Friday why not take a look at some wildlife? Discover Wildlife has a schedule with some interesting watches. Go to https://www.essexwt.org.uk/news/WildlifeTV for more information. The wildlife garden at 3pm tomorrow looks interesting.

Seeing as it is nearly Easter……in your purple sketch book draw numbers 1,2,3,4,5 down the side of the page. For each number draw that amount of Easter eggs and colour in with colours that you like.

Keep safe, Leanne.
