Friday 18th February: Blustery Day Closure

Hello Hedgehogs and your parents,

I am sorry not to be seeing you on the last day of half term. It's already very blustery where I am so I hope you are all able to snuggle down and keep yourselves safe today.

Some suggested learning for the day:


1. A Blustery Day


Watch Winnie the Pooh's Blustery Day song:

When you have watched it, imagine you are Winnie the Pooh and write about your day. You can draw a picture of yourself (Winnie the Pooh) in the wind with everything blowing around you and then write about what it is like. 

Reception children: 1-2 sentences with help from your grown ups. 

Parents - if your child is less confident to write, please write down what they say and ask them to copy underneath, or write with a yellow highlighter (or similar) and they can go over the top of it. 

Year 1 children: write three sentences about what your blustery day was like (as Winnie the Pooh) and then check for capital letters, finger spaces, full stops and interesting words!

For example:

I had a blustery day and I nearly got blown away! Piglet blew past me in a leaf! Then Rabbit's carrots all flew away. 


2. Music

Listen to Vivaldi's Storm music:

First, just close your eyes, lay on the floor and listen to it. Can you think why it is called The Storm? 

Next, get a large piece of paper and some colouring pencils. Listen to the music again and draw any patterns/shapes/pictures on the paper that the music makes you think of/feel.

Finally, dance to the music! Listen carefully to each part and move your body in the same way. 


3. Maths

Practice writing your numbers using these rhymes:


I will be sending out another blog post tomorrow for half term!

Goodbye!

Dear Hedgehog Parents, It feels very strange finally to be saying goodbye to you all. Whaddon has been my second home for the past ten years...
