HOME LEARNING CHALLENGES...

Below are a set of challenges to try at home. 

• Using construction materials (blocks, connecting toys or wooden toys) what is the tallest tower you can make before it falls over? Is it taller than you? 
• How many things can you find around your home or garden that are blue? Can you draw a picture to keep track of how many things you find. 
• Hide a soft toy somewhere around your home or garden and make a treasure map to find it. 
• Play with bubbles. Can you blow small bubbles? Can you make big bubbles? 
• Look at old photos of your family or friends. Do you know who all the people are? 
• Play musical statutes. Play your favourite music, when the music stops you need to freeze! 

I hope you enjoy trying these ideas... 

Please do not forget to upload any photos of your child's home learning to their Tapestry account.

Below is a bank of activities that you could try with your child at home:
