Good Morning Penguins, Puffins and Parrots
We hope you are all OK and staying safe at home.
Some of today’s activities are linked to our story ‘Five Minutes Peace’ and this story reminded us of how busy your homes must be at the moment with everyone at home! We hope you are working hard to show good Teamwork with your brothers. sisters, parents and other adults as you get used to sharing toys, the TV, other electronic devices and space in your house? We’re sure you’re all trying really hard to respect everyone in your house and remembering ‘Too much selfie isn’t healthy!’
Have a great day!

Helpful Reminders
Don’t forget you can email us on yearr@stmarksce.org.uk. We would love to hear from you if you have a question, need a password or need some help.
You can continue to use Tapestry to share your child’s work. Please only upload one post a day. You can either choose one activity or put all the activities you complete on one post.
We look forward to hearing from you. We may not reply the same day!
Independence The children in Year R are very rarely asked to work independently, particularly when writing. It is expected that they will need adult support to get started on all of the tasks we set for them here, and continue to need it throughout their activity.
However, we want to continue to build their independence, so encourage them to use resources which can help them be independent like sound cards, letter formation cards for handwriting etc.
Note for parents: Hopefully your children will enjoy working through these activities with you. We completely understand it may be difficult to complete all these tasks due to other family commitments or you are working from home, so please do not worry; complete what you can with your child.
There is absolutely no expectation that you get all, if any of these activities completed each day.

Understanding the world – Floating and Sinking
Can you investigate objects which float and sink? Collect objects from around your house with your grown up and then see if they float or sink. You could just do this at bath time.
Why do you think they float? Why don’t they float? What are they made of?
