Woodside EYFS

Hello Woodside
Please find below some suggested activities for the Easter Holidays.

I will not be checking class dojo but I will be celebrate any completed work when the children return.

Reading
Your child will bring home 4 reading books for the Easter holidays. It is very beneficial for children to read the same book more than once. It helps with sight recognition and also with fluency. The more your child reads it the more confident they will become!
Have a go at making your own book! Make sure it has a front cover with a title. What will your book be about? It could be a re-tell of a well known story.
Can you write a book review about your favourite books? What was your favourite part? Why? Who was your favourite character?

Use your scissor skills to complete the cutting activity below
Play dough
Play dough is fantastic for all sorts of learning and especially for developing fine motor skills.
In phonics it can be used to make letters or to make objects that start with or contain certain sounds. It can also be used as sound buttons.
In maths it can be used to make counters, form numbers, make different shapes and order objects by size.
It is a marvelous resource and very easy to make:
2 cups of plain flour
1/2 cup of salt
1 cup of hot water
1 tablespoon of cream of tar tar
3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Food colouring of your choice
Mix all together and it should last for a significant amount of time if kept in an air tight container
Try adding glitter or flavouring for a more sensory experience!
