Important Tips:

Why are Gross Motor Skills Important?

Working on gross motor skills help child gain strength and confidence in his/her body. It also helps them get exercise and physical activity, which is important for a healthy lifestyle. Developing these skills helps a child’s ability to do more complex skills in future activities, such as playing football with a team.

Literacy Fine Motor skills

Threading

Materials: - Straws or sticks - Cardboard rolls or

paper - Hole puncher

What to do: Get paper or cardboard and punch holes in random places.

Next roll the paper or cardboard to create a tube as shown on the picture above.

The children should listen to the story of ‘Papa, please get the moon for me’. Open ended questions - What is the little girl

Click here for the activity worksheet. Visual discrimination involves being able to see subtle differences in objects, including letters and numbers, to distinguish them from others. Badgers today we will be looking for the odd one out. What you will need to do: Have three different fruits and one vegetable and ask your child if they spot the odd one out and ask why they choose that fruit. Print out the odd one out worksheet and ask your child to cross the one out.

Supporting children’s emotional wellbeing is highly important.

Today we are going to look at different emotions.

Discuss with your child what they like and what they dislike. It is important children are able to explain why they like or dislike something.

On the opposite side they draw themselves with a sad face.

Glue craft sticks on to the bottom.

Extension: Use these at circle time or a large/small group time later in the day asking questions about feelings. They turn their "faces" to show the side that corresponds to the question or statement.

Examples: You find your favourite toy that you thought was lost. Are you happy or sad?

You will need some letters or CVC words and tell your child the sound monster is hungry and he needs to eat the correct sound. Tell your child some words and they will need to put the correct sound in the monster's mouth. To make the monster you will need an empty box, foil and paper cups for the eyes.
