We have incorporated the seven areas of learning throughout the activities.  We have also added some additional fine motor activities to develop your child's writing skills.

Children tend to learn best through play, so we would also encourage lots of 'play time' at home as well as some of our suggested activities. These activities are all optional for you to do with your child  ]]> 2021-01-04 14:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1052134250 preschool11 https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1052152543 Miss Richards and Miss Cook would love to see any activities that you and your child do at home, you can upload photos and videos to your Tapestry account for us to view.

We find children's choice is very important so this is a great opportunity for them to make their own choice. When reading the story you can encourage your child to discuss the pictures in the book. 
If it is a familiar story you can even encourage your child to help you read the story by finishing the last phrase/word of each page.]]> 2021-01-04 15:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1052389846 preschool11 https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1052416642 Mathematics is an huge part of your child's learning development. At home Miss Richards would like your child to be able to build a tower using six blocks and another tower using eight blocks, you can ask your child questions such as 'which tower is taller and which is shorter?' 'what colour blocks have you used to make this tower?' Miss Richards would love to see photos/videos of all the children's towers.

I have also added a link below of a number blocks program, this will also help your child's recognition of  numbers and this also encourages early counting skills.

To help your child's fine motor skills threading is an important skill which can help this. 
We would love to see any homemade necklaces', you could use beads, pasta, blocks, string or wool to make this. Encourage your child to thread these on independently.]]> 2021-01-04 16:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1052452693 preschool11 https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1052521436 Children learn best from the outdoors! Spending lots of time in the garden is the perfect opportunity for exploring the environment. 
Whilst playing outdoors we would love to see any minibeasts which you can find! You could even try to make a minibeast house for them using leaves, bark, grass or mud! ]]> 2021-01-04 16:21:27 UTC https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1052521436 preschool11 https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1052644755 Talking about feelings and emotions is extremely important during these difficult times. A good way to talk about feelings is to discuss with your child what makes them happy. Your child can then draw a picture of this to show the Pre-school teachers.]]> 2021-01-04 16:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1052644755 preschool11 https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1073719320 2021-01-11 12:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1073719320 preschool11 https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1073726364 2021-01-11 12:41:25 UTC https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1073726364 preschool11 https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1077711155 2021-01-12 09:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1077711155 preschool11 https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1087681517 2021-01-14 15:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1087681517 preschool11 https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1087824225 2021-01-14 16:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1087824225 preschool11 https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1087829459 Ideas for making a bird feeder, can you spot any in your garden..]]> 2021-01-14 16:06:25 UTC https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1087829459 preschool11 https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1087843868 Here is a link which shows you how to make your very own musical instrument.]]> 2021-01-14 16:09:03 UTC https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1087843868 preschool11 https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1087863195 2021-01-14 16:12:27 UTC https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1087863195 preschool11 https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1087883570 You can use your playdough to go to the dough disco!]]> 2021-01-14 16:16:12 UTC https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1087883570 preschool11 https://padlet.com/preschool11/ou9bzaqvsj6c1ssd/wish/1087918660 This story is based on different feelings and emotions.
