Tortoises

Close your eyes and listen to:

Can you move around to the music? Is it slow or fast?

Now move around to:

Is this slow or fast?

What else did you notice?

Did you spot that they are the same tune? Saint-Saens slowed down Offenbach’s famous Can- Can music and used it to represent tortoises.

We can’t wait to see more videos on Tapestry 🙂

Hello,

Are you wondering what the teachers have been up to?

Mrs Conlon and Miss Deacon have been spending some time reading at home in the sunshine. We have been chatting to each other on the phone about what we have read and what books we recommend to get into next!

Miss Deacon has also been spending time with her younger sister and helping her with some home learning. Miss Deacon was put to the test with solving some tricky maths problems! With lots of thinking and determination she worked with her sister to complete them. Miss Deacon has also enjoyed getting some exercise by going on walks with her family around her local area.

Mrs Conlon has also been enjoying baking with home grown rhubarb which her neighbor kindly left on her doorstep from her allotment. She has also been out on bike rides around her local area to collect some groceries from the shops. Mrs Conlon has been taking part in some of Joe Wicks’ workouts to keep fit whilst the gym is closed!

Mrs Aquilina has enjoyed going for long walks with her children. She had a trip to Porchester castle to support their home learning. They all learnt some history and geography whilst they were there.

Mrs King made some cakes as it was her dad’s birthday this week. She got him some gifts and a card and visited him at his home from a distance to send him birthday love and wishes.

Mrs Grout has enjoyed walking around with her son every morning to help him deliver newspapers within her local area. She has also been busy in her garden renovating some old furniture. Here are some before and after photos. Great work Mrs Grout 😊

We hope you are all enjoying this time with your families as well as keeping safe and learning lots 🙂

Talk to you soon 🙂

Here is the link to online resources that the Hampshire moodle site have put together to support learning at home.

https://hias-moodle.mylearningapp.com/pluginfile.php/1822/mod_resource/content/0/Home%20learning%20weblinks%20pdf.pdf

Just a few more simple Science experiments to try at home with your child. Ask your child lots of questions to promote awe and wonder and get them thinking about what might be happening and why throughout the activity.

Have fun and remember to upload videos or photos to Tapestry for your child’s teachers to see.

This Thursday is St George’s day. It is a day that we would normally focus on with the children if we were in school. However because at this time we aren’t, we thought you could talk about what the day is a celebration of.
Twinkl has an informative power point you could share with your child

https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-tp-673-eyfs-all-about-st-georges-day-information-powerpoint

Here is a link to the story as a power point-

https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-t-5489-st-georges-day-story-powerpoint

Your child can choose anything they would like to show their understanding of the story. This could be through drawing a picture from the story and writing a few sentences underneath to explain something that happens, building a scene from the story using junk modelling or Lego or even dressing up as George and acting it out.

Here is a link to make your own finger puppets to use when re telling the story-

Share anything your child does with us on Tapestry 😊

The title for your art this week is ‘NEW LIFE’.  You can be as creative as you like.  It could be a drawing of yourself as a baby,  a baby animal made out of kitchen roll tubes, a photograph of a tree with buds, an Andy Goldsworthy inspired piece of art made out of natural things in your garden or when you have been on a walk.  Impress me with your creativity!

Please email your artwork to me:

Thank you!

Keep creating and keep safe!
