Hungry Little Minds
Simple, fun activities for children aged newborn to five.
| Hungry Little Minds | |
| Ideas fro Home Learning for under fives |
Week Beginning 11.05.20
Topic: Animals Theme: Underwater Creatures
This week I would like you to explore sea creatures with the children.
Personal, Social & Emotional Development:
Play a circle time game of ‘Guess the Animal’. Place some small world sea creatures into a bag. The children take it in turns to choose an animal. They act out being the animal and you have to guess which animal they are. Hide under the sea-themed toys around the house. Encourage the children to find them. Create a treasure basket with blue and green beads, shells, strips of material, strips of cellophane and glass pebbles. Encourage the children to explore the under the sea treasures.
Communication & Language:
Place a handful of small world sea creatures in the centre of the circle and name each creature with the children. Tell them to close their eyes, remove one of the toys and ask them to talk about and try to work out which creature has swum away. Line a large activity tray with blue or green material and place some small world sea creatures on top. Encourage children to take it in turns to talk about the different sea creatures they can see.
Physical Development:
Create a paper cup octopus! Paint the cups orange, let them dry and add googly eyes. Support the children as they hole punch the cup 8 times and add 8 pipe cleaners for the legs. Encourage the children to try finger painting to decorate fish pictures. They could use their fingerprints to add scales to the fish in a variety of colours. Make a simple starfish template and copy onto sheets of paper. Then have some lentils and glue for the children to stick on to the starfish shape. Picking up the lentils and sticking them down would be great for fine motor development.
Literacy:
Play a rhyming game using some sea creatures. Challenge children to identify words that rhyme with fish, shark, shell and sand. Play a syllables game with the children. Clap out the syllables in the names of different sea creatures, such as three claps for octopus, two claps for turtle and one for fish. Play a ‘What’s in the box? Initial Sounds Game’ with the children. Show the children a selection of sea creatures whose names all begin with different initial sounds. Add them to the box, say the initial sound of one of their names and see which children can work out the chosen sea creature. Practice reading and writing sight words and then building it into sentences.
Maths:
Play ordering games, missing number games, matching and counting games etc. Learning about the number 1-10 and doing various activities around it. Provide small world toys (of different sizes) for children to use in the water tray. Encourage children to use language to compare the sizes of the fish, e.g. big, little, smallest, biggest. Encourage the children to explore mark making in the trays to represent different numbers. Encourage the children to practise counting actions. Clap their hands together like a snapping shark! Then take turns to count the actions. Provide a selection of small world sea creatures for children to use in sorting games. Encourage children to sort the toys in different ways, such as type of creature, colour or size.
Understanding the World:
Use the children’s interest in the theme as a springboard to finding out more about sea creatures and their habitats. Use books or the Internet to find out information together. Use small world toys to discuss different types of sea creatures. Encourage the children to talk about what they can see and make links to their own experiences. Provide materials for children to create their own rock pools. This could include clear plastic trays or bowls, water, sand, pebbles, green/brown cellophane, shells and plastic sea creatures. Encourage the children to investigate the changes in the clarity of the water as the sand settles, how the cellophane feels when it is wet, etc.
Expressive Arts & Design:
Make a paper bowl jellyfish! Children could paint some paper bowls and then cut or tear strips of tissue paper to stick to the inside. Curled ribbon could also be added. They could add some googly eyes and decorations to the bowl to complete their jellyfish. Encourage the children to create their own sea creature transient art by adding a selection of resources to an activity tray, such as bottle tops, buttons of differing sizes, pom-poms, lolly sticks, cotton wool, pipe cleaners, feathers, stones, glass beads, plastic bottles, corks, cardboard tubes and glass pebbles.
Have fun from Miss Pandor and Mrs Odedra
Week beginning 04.05.20 - Pets
Topic: Animals - PETS. Please Take photos and email them to us at nursery@whitehall.leicester.sch.uk
This week I would like you to explore pets with the children.
Personal, Social & Emotional Development:
Talk about pets that children have or what pets they would like. Discuss how important it is to look after animals and how children can help to look after pets they have at home. Encourage the children to become involved with looking after pets (soft animal toy). The children could feed the pets, ensure shelters and toys are safe and suitable for use and provide water for the pets to drink.
Communication & Language:
Hide some soft toy pets or photos around the house. Encourage children to identify the different animals and describe where they are hiding using prepositions such as ‘under’, ‘on top’ ‘behind’ 'next to' 'front' 'near'.
Physical Development:
Encourage children to create movements for different pets. They could jump like rabbits, prowl like cats, bound like dogs, flap their arms like wings for a budgie, crawl like a tortoise or slither like a snake. Provide some clothes pegs and pom-poms and encourage children to grip the pom-poms with the pegs, dip them into paint and print onto pet pictures. They could add spots to a spotty dog, scales to a fish, fluffy tails to a rabbit or patches and strips to a cat.
Literacy:
Reading stories about pets. Practice reading and writing sight words and then building it into sentences. Practice initial sound recognition in everyday words. Encourage children to listen to the syllables in pet names. They could clap or tap the syllables they hear in the names (e.g. cat, dog, rabbit, parrot and snake) and other topic words (e.g. vet, pet, food and bed).
Maths:
Play ordering games, missing number games, matching and counting games etc. Learning about the number 10 and doing various activities around it. Cut out a variety of 2D shapes from coloured paper. Encourage children to arrange the shapes to create pet shape pictures. Talk about the properties of the shapes and their names. Get children to order pets according to size. Start with three of each and encourage the children to sort them into hoops – all of the small pets in one hoop, the medium in another hoop, large in another hoop etc.
Understanding the World:
Encourage children to talk about how they can help to care for the pets they have at home and how important it is to look after pets properly. Learn about vets and how they look after pets when they are unwell. A vet could be asked to talk to the children or books and the Internet could be used to find information. Create a small-world garden scene. Add some small-world toy pets that you might find outside. Children can explore the different materials and match the pet picture cards to the correct habitat
Expressive Arts & Design:
Provide some clay or salt dough for children to use to make pet models. They could add extras such as pipe cleaners for tails and whiskers, beads for noses and some googly eyes. Explore ways of moving to demonstrate the different animals, for example, cats prowling around, birds flying, dogs bounding around, rabbits jumping, tortoises crawling and snakes slithering around. Provide a range of collage materials for children to use to create pet pictures. They could use furry fabric, felt, tissue paper, cotton wool, feathers and coloured paper to create their pictures.
Week Beginning 27.04.20 - Minibeasts
Have fun! Don't forget to email us some photos!
This week I would like you to explore bugs and insects with the children.
Personal, Social & Emotional Development:
Encourage the children to share their experiences of minibeasts and which minibeasts they like/do not like to see. Talk to the children about caring for minibeasts in the local area and why it is important to look after minibeasts.
Communication & Language:
Talk about the difference between bugs and animals. Where they live? What they might eat? Show children different pictures and talk about how they are all different. Can they talk about ways in which they are different? Fill a large tray with soil, leaves and twigs and some small world minibeast toys. Encourage the children to explore what is in the tray and talk about what they find.
Physical Development:
Encourage the children to try finger painting to create or decorate some minibeasts. They could use their fingerprints to create a long caterpillar or add black spots to a red ladybird. Create your own minibeast playdough! Create ‘bee playdough’ using yellow food colouring, black pom-poms, pipe cleaners and googly eyes. Create ‘ladybird playdough’ using red playdough, black buttons and pom-poms.
Literacy:
Reading stories about bugs and insects (The Hungry Caterpillar, The Bad Tempered Ladybird) Practice reading and writing sight words and then building it into sentences. Practice initial sound recognition in everyday words. Discuss the sounds that different minibeasts make and encourage the children to make the sounds. Alter the volume of the different minibeast sounds that are being made.
Maths:
Play ordering games, missing number games, matching and counting games etc. Learning about the number 9 and doing various activities around it. Finding out how many legs there are on various animals. Cut out a butterfly shape and model painting patterns onto one half of the butterfly. Fold the paper so that the patterns are symmetrical on both sides.
Understanding the World:
Talking about bugs and insects and where they have seen them before. Talking about what they look like, where they live, what they eat. Showing the pictures and describing the animals. Teach children the words and encourage to use them. Work together to create a minibeast hotel outside. Discuss what minibeasts like to eat and where they like to live. For example, somewhere dark. You could use tissue boxes, cardboard tubes, etc.
Expressive Arts & Design:
Children to create their own minibeast transient art by adding a selection of the following resources to an activity tray, such as: bottle tops, buttons of differing sizes, pompoms, lolly sticks, cotton wool, pipe cleaners, feathers, stones, glass beads, plastic bottles, corks, cardboard tubes and glass pebbles. Ideally, a mixture of green, white, black, red, yellow and orange loose parts.
Have fun, from Miss Pandor.
Easter Holiday Home Learning 06.04.20
Topic: Easter
This week I would like you to continue working on Easter activities with the children.
Personal, Social & Emotional Development:
Emotion eggs - Use a marker to draw different faces onto plastic eggs. Read/tell a short story and talk about the emotions of the characters. Ask the children to make the correct face/find the correct egg for each emotion.
Physical Development:
The children may like to explore wax-resist painting techniques to decorate some Easter Egg shapes. Encourage them to draw some lines, shapes and patterns using a white wax crayon and then paint over the top using watery paint, to decorate the eggs.
Literacy:
Find out and research the Easter story. Talk about and retell the Easter story. Practice reading and writing sight words and then building it into sentences. Practice initial sound recognition in everyday words.
Maths:
Using paper/card/plastic/real eggs (0-10) (0-20) to play ordering games, missing number games, matching and counting games etc. Learning about the number 8 and doing various activities around it.
Understanding the World:
Provide some empty cardboard boxes and plastic containers, then encourage the children to build and decorate their own Easter baskets. They could also be challenged to construct a container to safely house a (hard-boiled) egg to stop it from getting broken!
Create your own Easter Egg!
Decorate an Easter in any way you like! The choice is all yours!
Music:
Some of your household staple items can be very musical in the right hands. Grab an empty cereal box, some cardboard tubes and some rubber bands to create a guitar! Or fill an empty container with dried pasta to create a homemade maraca. Then why not host a miniature concert?
Curiosity:
Put together a small collection of interesting things to explore. You could include a bunch of keys, a padlock, several brushes of different shapes and sizes, a shiny bowl, a piece of fabric, an old mobile phone. Watch to see what your child does with them and all the surprising things they find to do with them.
Take care, stay home, stay safe
