Hopefully you tried Go Noodle yesterday, if not here’s the link: 

GO NOODLE

So yesterday was encouraging your child to wash their hands properly, today we are going to really focus on cleaning our teeth properly.  We are hoping to get a professional into school to talk to the children about this, but in the meantime here’s a song and the music to go with it!

Today – let us try having an indoor scavenger hunt.

1. Can you find a tissue box?
2. Can you find something which has wheels?
3. Can you find something round?
4. Can you find something cuddly?
5. Can you find a spoon?
6. Can you find a pair of glasses?
7. Can you find an envelope?
8. Can you find a red crayon?
9. Can you find a key?
10. Can you find a plaster?

If you know you haven’t got some of these things in your home, just change them.

Have a look at the BBC Nursery Rhymes and Songs page, allow your child to choose a song or rhyme and perform it with them.  You could even get dressed up!

We try to share at least one book with the children every day.  Ask your child to go and choose their favourite books then read one together, it doesn’t always have to be an activity you do at bedtime!  However, Cbeebies Bedtime Stories is a brilliant place to listen to other people reading stories.

If you do any activities you’d like to share, either ones I’ve suggested or other ones, please do share them on Seesaw or email me photos or videos.  [email protected]

If you have never used Go Noodle I think you will love it.  We generally use it to start the day but you might find you can use it at any time!  Here’s the link:  GO NOODLE

Although we have talked about washing our hands, demonstrate daily and show the children how to do it, use this poster to talk to your child about how important hand washing is.  Go through the poster then go and wash your hands.  You could make up a tune whilst doing it.

If you are able to get out for a walk please do.  See if you can find a stick and then look for flowers (I appreciate it is Winter!!!), leaves, shells, twigs, acorns.  Collect what you can in a bag, bring them home and see if you can attach the objects to the stick using string.  Please be mindful of what your child collects.  

If you can’t get out for a walk why don’t you try and make a home-made musical instrument.  This website has some ideas:  Home Made Musical Instrument Ideas  but I don’t think you can beat saucepans and wooden spoons or a plastic bottle filled with rice or pasta!  

When you have made your instrument you could sing some songs and play along.  I love using the BBC website to remind me of some of the classic songs and rhymes.  BBC Nursery Rhymes and Songs.

Last week we read ‘Stickman’ by Julia Donaldson.  The children love it, if you have it home please do share it with them.  If you don’t here’s a link to the animation of it:  Stickman.
