Good morning everyone. I hope you all managed to enjoy the snow yesterday. Don’t forget to let me know what you have been up to.

This week is Mental Health week. Please check Marvellous Me for today’s wellbeing activity. 

We have two zoom sessions a day for children who want to attend. The sessions are at 11am and 1.30pm and I will read a story during each session.

• Share stories with your children daily, they are hugely important in their learning.
• Please sing or say rhymes with your child. If you do not know the tune, don’t worry. Your child might know it, or you can make up a tune or you could always say it rather than sing it. See Day 1 for the words to some of our popular rhymes.
• Please find opportunities for counting daily. This might be when playing with toys, having tea, or walking up the stairs.

Pre-nursery

Threading – find things that could be used for threading such as buttons, uncooked pasta tubes, rings, colanders, beads or cardboard tubes. Also things that can thread into these objects such as laces, string, wool, uncooked spaghetti. Allow your child to thread with the things you have found. This will help to develop your child’s pincer grip.

Nursery

Phonics – Alliteration – Watch the video below and see if your child can hear which object is the odd one out. Perhaps you could play your own game of odd one out.

Please can you keep in touch with me via email to let me know how your child is getting on. Alternatively you could send me a message below. It would be lovely if you could send a photo or two of your children in their play. My email address is: clister@handale.rac.sch.uk

Take care,

Mrs Lister
