Art/Mark Making

Writing/Mark Making in the Early Years must be fun and engaging for children to develop a love of writing. It must meet their interests and needs. To develop your children’s early writing skills we need to develop their muscles in their whole arm. Here is a fun mark making activity that you can try at home to strengthen their shoulder pivot!

We can get creative today! Can you design and make your own Stethoscope using anything you can find in your home? Have a look at some pictures below but remember you can make it however you want! Use it in your role play!

Shape/Number

We have been exploring circles. We all did such a great job finding different circle shaped objects around our home. Watch Rakhi make some pictures by drawing circles. You can have a go too. Can you make a flower using circles, maybe a car or a person? You choose! If you find it a bit tricky you can draw around some of the circle shaped objects that you found the other day. 

​Count how many different colours you used! Can you name them?

Phonics

You came for a listening walk with me on Monday, I took you to the park and we heard the birds, the leaves rustling, a police car siren, the people talking, the wind, even a barking dog! I hope you’ve had a chance to go on one. 
Throughout the day today you can have a listen for the sounds that you can hear around you at home. Can you hear the tap running, the toilet flushing, the washing machine spinning? Can you hear the television or the door closing? Listen to the sound and tell your grown up what is making the sound. 

Fine Motor

Aysha shows you how to finger paint a tree! She also shows you how to do it with colouring pens if you don’t have paint at home. See if you can have a go.
