Reception home learning Thursday 4th February 2021

Hi everyone. Here are today’s learning activities. Don’t worry if you don’t do all of them, as long as you are trying to do some of the activities that’s great. I love to see what you have been doing at home and I have shown some of your work to the children in school so they can see what you have been doing. I Look forward to seeing some of your work.

This week is Children's Mental Health Week. The theme this year is Express Yourself. Expressing yourself is about finding ways to share feelings, thoughts, or ideas, through creativity. This could be through art, music, writing and poetry, dance and drama, photography and film, and doing activities that make you feel good. In our blog this week, you will find some activities to support your mental health and wellbeing that allow you to express yourself. I hope you enjoy these activities - remember to send in any pictures so I can see what you have been doing and share them in our class gallery.
