Spring Day
My name is Georgie and I am a dancer. Today we are having a fun filled day learning about Spring. We will be doing some fun craft activities, planting some seeds and dancing too.
9.30am Activity:
Cress Heads
In this activity you will need to do some preparation for growing your cress!
Grown Ups:
You will need a pot or or egg shell (make sure its cleaned out.) Place a piece of damp kitchen roll at the bottom, followed by a clump of damp cotton wool. Make sure there is at least a 3cm gap between the cotton wool and the top of the pot) and place around a teaspoon of cress seeds on the cotton wool and press them down.
Water your cress daily so that the cotton wool is always moist and leave in direct sunlight, after 5 days or so you should have some lovely cress!
Now you can decorate your pot/egg shell! Grab a pen or some googly eyes to stick on, and draw a funny face. This activity develops children’s understanding of growing seeds.
10.30am Activity:
Flower Collage
We are going to make a fun and vibrant collage of different types of flowers to celebrate spring.
Grown Ups:
You can use pens, paints, pipe cleaners or cut pictures from a magazine. See how many different types of flowers you can create. This develops children’s creativity and understanding of the seasons.
1:30pm Activity:
Rainbow Panting
For this activity you will need some paper, coloured paints and a pencil to draw out your rainbow.
Grown Ups:
Talk to your child about when we might see a rainbow. See if you can remember all the colours. Like Georgie, is there a rhyme you can think of to remember them? Have fun painting and creating your rainbow. This develops children’s creativity and their understanding of the world around them.
2:30pm Activity:
Spring Dance
Make sure you’ve got lots of space around you to learn this fun and uplifting spring dance!
Grown Ups:
Follow Georgie as she shares the moves to the song. This supports children’s physical development.
Story time:
The King and The Elephant
Snuggle up for our bedtime story told by Jude Lennon.
