Topic

Today’s theme for our wellbeing week is ‘be active’.

There are lots of things that you could do! You could go out for a walk with your family or dog, you could have a go at some online workouts, you could dance to your favourite song or play with a ball/hoop/skipping rope in your garden.

If you go out on a walk, how about having a go at filling out our tick list sheets. See if you can spot all the things on the list and tick them off!

You could even have a go at mile Monday! See if you can walk/run/cycle a mile, take a picture and share it to our facebook page or send it to our email address.

Be active, stay healthy!

Penguin challenge

With nothing to do and nowhere to go, Mrs Croft got a bit bored this weekend and decided to make a penguin.

Can you use household objects to make a penguin?

She used clothes for the body, tealights and grapes for the eyes, a glasses cleaning cloth for the beak, satsumas for the feet and remote controls for the flippers.

Can you make a penguin using household items?

If you send us the photos, we can make a penguin parade!

Have fun-we can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Christmas songs

Christmas has come to Reception!

We have been very busy this week doing lots of Christmas crafts which the children will bring home next Thursday (17th December).

This week, we have really enjoyed singing Christmas songs-Jingle Bells, Rudolph and a couple of new ones which you may not have heard before. We’ve put the lyrics below  for a festive sing-a-long at home.  There are actions for each song that your children should be able to show you.

 

Christmas Pudding, Christmas pudding

Steaming hot, Steaming hot

Sprinkle on the sugar, sprinkle on the sugar

Eat the lot. Eat the lot.

5 little Christmas trees, standing all alone

Their hears are very sad because they haven’t got a home

Then CHOP went the axe, down came the tree

And off they went with a happy family.

4 little Christmas trees……….

3 little Christmas trees ……….

2 little Christmas trees ……….

1 little Christmas tree ……….

No little Christmas trees standing all alone. Their hearts are very full because they’ve all found homes.
