Covid-19

Dear Parents and Carers,

As many of you are at home now due to the outbreak, please find below a list of home learning suggestions. This is in no way a 'to do list' as we know you will have loads of great ideas at home already. Please do not feel that you must do these activities, do whatever you feel is best for you and your family at this very challenging time.

We hope that these activities are useful and we would love to see photographs and to hear how you are getting on via our Evidence for Learning app!

Hopefully the weather will remain beautiful so the children can play outside as much as possible. As long as we are all adhering to the social distancing guidelines any outdoor time is great!

Please stay safe and take care, we know how challenging this time is to everyone. We look forward to this all being over and seeing you all once again.

If you need any advice please do not hesitate to contact me via the Yellow Frogs E-mail address.

Spring Term 2020

We have all settled back into school very well after our Christmas break. We have started our new topic 'Our Growing World' During this half term we will be focusing and having lots of fun learning about Australia, Spain/Mexico, France and Italy. We will be continuing with our Educational Visits, P.E, Swimming and Rebound Therapy.

Sensory P.E

The past couple of weeks we have been having lots of fun in sensory P.E exploring different ways in which we can travel on the equipment. We used our bodies to slide along a bench, used the body board weave/drive around cones and used our bodies to be a bowling ball and knock down the skittles. We really enjoyed it. We also had the other sensory equipment to use, engaging in our sensory diets. Some of us also worked with Nic during the session working on our MOVE targets.

Christmas in Yellow Frogs

We have had lots of fun in Yellow Frogs this Christmas. We have enjoyed doing lots of Christmas crafts, a trip to Frankie and Bennies, Christmas baking and a fantastic Christmas Party with a visit from Father Christmas, he brought us some lovely gifts.

We have been talking about the functions of our hands and feet. We made lovely prints of our hands and feet by dipping them in paint and printing onto paper!

We've been exploring our 5 main senses - touch, taste, hear, sight & smell. We used all of these 5 senses to describe objects in our environment and to observe the changes in jelly as we melted and set it.

We made smiley face cookies when learning about our facial features and naming parts of our faces!

We love water play! Water Play provides hours of rich and valuable early childhood experiences to develop children's creativity and imagination. ... It helps children develop eye-hand coordination and mathematical and scientific concepts. It also enhances social skills and encourages cooperation.

FOREST SCHOOL

Summer 2018

Our Topic this term is 'Growth & Change'. We will be exploring the changes that living things experience in their life cycles.

The children have made drums, planes, cars, beds & trains out of some old cardboard boxes! Cardboard box play is important to support and develop children's gross motor skills. This type of play provides opportunities for children to use and develop their imagination and creative skills. It especially supports children’s sensory needs by allowing them to make large structures and knock them down safely, ripping and tearing of card board boxes supporting the proprioceptive senses in their bodies allowing the children to know their own muscle tone, movements and body and joint positions allowing the brain to know where each body part is and how it is moving, by making a den area using card board boxes allows children to have a calm and secure area. Not only is box play fun and exciting it helps to stimulate two important senses whichh are the vestibular and proprioceptive senses. Box play allows children to have whatever toy/resource they want enabling them to play whatever game they want to play. This allows spontaneous play, self-opportunity to allow them to play freely which is vital to their health and well-being and development.
