Express Yourself

We would like you to design a badge about you. It can be any shape you choose and then think about what makes you happy and draw it onto your badge. You might have your family, pets or friends on your badge. You might have your favourite sport, football or dancing. You might draw a cake if you like to bake. Really take your time and make your badge all about you. Then if you have some safety pins at home you might want to ask a grown-up to put one on the back and you can wear your badge too!

Science

Think about the animals that are herbivores- How will they survive during winter.  Identify these animals, name and say what they eat.  Think about how we could help these animals. Even some birds who may eat worms might find it more difficult to find food as the ground is hard in Winter. Today we would like you to make a bird feeder to help birds survive in winter. There are some different examples below of some bird feeders you can make, using things you might already have at home.

English

Today we will imagine we are Sue Hendrickson and the reporter, so you will need the help of a family member.  One person should be Sue and one should be the reporter.  Act out an interview practising forming and answering questions.

Music

As it is Children’s Mental Health Week this week, I thought it would be good to remind ourselves of the song ‘It’s OK! Just say’ Sing or sign along depending on where you are and really listen to that message that the words are telling you. Remember to talk to someone if you are not feeling OK.

I also have a new song for you to learn. First of all click on the link below to warm up your bodies and voices. Make sure you have clicked on the tab ‘Find the Pulse’ and have fun following the actions.

Then click on the next link to listen to the chorus and follow the words. When you are confident have a go at joining in!

For our main activity, it is going to be a bit noisy! We will be thinking about how you can turn objects around the house into musical instruments! You will need a saucepan and 2 wooden spoons. If you can’t use these, find anything around the house that you can turn into a drum. Remember to check with your grown-ups first!

Watch the next video and express how you are feeling today. Take your time to think carefully about how you feel and be honest. You don’t have to be happy (but if you are, that’s great!)

Handwriting

Watch the video below to learn how to form the letters. Now practise forming these letters, trying to sit them correctly on the line like in the picture below. These particular letters are the common ones we may accidently reverse! So please take your time and try to say the rhyme as you write each one, ensuring you start in the correct place.

Now look at the images from the story showing the key parts of her life. Cut them out and sequence them from childhood to when she found the T-Rex bones.  Think about some of these key moments-how do you think Sue was feeling?

How did she feel when she found the dinosaur bones?

How did she feel diving down in the ocean?

Mental Health Activities

zoom meeting

We will start the afternoon by sharing a story called Ruby’s Worries in our next zoom meeting.  We hope you will be able to join us.  If you can’t make it watch the link below to watch the story.

Make a worry doll!

Just like Ruby in the story we sometimes have things we worry about.  Talk to a family member about things that worry you. Today we are going to make a worry doll.  A worry doll is a miniature doll that you can tell your worries to.  If you share your worries  to your doll they will help to take the worry away.  Just like Ruby, she felt better when she shared her worry to a friend.  We might feel better if we talk to a family member or our worry dolls.  You can make you doll however you like, take a look at the photographs below for ideas or watch the link on how to make one.
