Here are some activities for you to enjoy. Please remember there are whole school activities and stories that we hope your children enjoy too. *We have tried to make the blog easy to access so you just have to click on to the links directly.
If you are working from home, please keep working through the structure of activities from Monday to Friday or fitting in the activities while you can over the week. It is important to keep skills going in phonics, numeracy and literacy if you can as well as activities from the wider curriculum. We appreciate all the wonderful work you are doing as parents and helping to keep learning going for your children.
We would like to share with you some videos about your learning this week and the staff that might be teaching you if in school.

Did you notice that they were growing cardamom (a spice used in curries) and coconuts towards the end of the video? Coconuts and cardamom are used in Curries. Can you find out anymore about Indian food? You may like to try and cook some Indian food this week if it is convenient at home.
Art
This week you may want to make a picture, collage or sculpture using natural materials. Have a look for natural art materials outside. You could collect fallen leaves, petals and sticks and use them to make a picture or sculpture. Please make sure you don’t pick wildflowers, however, as they are important for wildlife and some are protected by law. You might find cones, shells or anything that is natural to use. You may need some man made materials such as glue to stick them on or plasticine as a base for a sculpture if you have it.You could even use the objects as ‘stampers’ or paintbrushes – dipping them in paint and rolling, brushing or stamping them on paper to create interesting patterns and effects you may see in tree bark or stones.
