PSHE Mindfulness: A Happy Place is a location where you feel the calmest and most relaxed. This could be somewhere real or from your imagination. Whenever you become anxious, sad, or angry, it can be helpful to imagine yourself at this place! The more details that you can imagine, as you close your eyes, the more helpful your Happy Place will be in calming you down.Draw a picture of your own happy place, you can be very creative and add all the things that make you happy. You could also think about, what you can smell and what you can hear.

Understanding the World (Technology and the World)

Go for a walk or go into the garden for a bug hunt. Which minibeasts can you find? Encourage children to look at habitats and find out what kind of environment each insect likes. They could sketch the minibeasts and build a bug hotel.

Use technology in the house to research different kinds of caterpillars and the caterpillar life cycle. Encourage children to create a representation of the lifecycle. If possible, this could be done using technology you have at home. Please let us know how independently your child was able to use the device.

Write the tricky words on the floor can you throw a bean bag or object on the correct tricky word when it

is called.

Hide an object under a cup can you find the object, say the

digraph that you think is hiding the object. Use the sounds you

are unsure about.
