Coronavirus:  Time Capsules and A Book for Children

In the future, people will look back on the events of 2020 as a historical topic.  To help you and your families record how lockdown affected you and your daily routines we thought we would share this time capsule booklet with you.  There are two editions, one for the children and one for adults, we thought it would be a lovely opportunity for you to sit and discuss what is going on in the world at the moment as a family.  We have also included a pdf called ‘Coronavirus: A book for children’ which may help you to answer some of the questions that we are sure the children have.

Parents and carers,

Due to school closure we are providing a range of learning resources for children to access at home.  It would be useful if your child could spend some time each day on English, Maths and Reading whilst also remaining active. 

Teachers will be uploading links and resources regularly so please continue to check the class page each Monday. 

Tapestry

Please keep in touch with us via Tapestry. We are really enjoying seeing your home learning and what you are getting up to. 
We are also keeping in touch with you with replies and videos.  We are aiming to send you 9 videos a week from all the Early Years staff.  So far we have posted stories and nursery rhymes and have just begun to set you some fun and lighthearted challenges.

Routine Daily Tasks

• Read daily, both hearing your child read and reading for pleasure/ sharing a story.
• Practise developing fine motor skills, through Dough Disco, Squiggle Whilst You Wiggle or picking up small objects using a pincer motion.
• Talk about something positive from your day.

Other Activities to Explore...

Keeping in touch with relatives

It also might be nice for your child to write a letter or a card to a relative they are perhaps unable to visit at the moment.  Or you can help them learn about technology through email, Skype, WhatsApp for example.  Please remember E-safety rules.

Yoga/mindfulness/brain breaks

To separate each of your sessions at home, you might want to include some brain breaks. Reception children are used to these and can be found on Youtube if you search ‘brain breaks for kids’.  The children have done ones such as “Shake your sillies out”, “the Penguin song” and “Wake up Shake up”.  They are also used to doing yoga sessions called “Cosmic Kids Yoga”.  Even simple breathing techniques of a deep breath in through their mouth and long “rainbow breaths” out through their mouth will help calm them.
