Day 5
Activity 1 – My Independence: Life skills
Semi-Formal-
Good morning! Today we are going to be thinking about what we will be wearing today. Look outside at the weather (or maybe your weather chart) and think about the best clothes for today.
Activity 1- Now you know what the weather is like perhaps you can choose your clothes with help.
Ask your grown up to help you put your clothes on.
Activity 2- Sing our special getting dressed song!
Activity 3- Can you choose clothes for your grown up or teddy and then help them get dressed?
Activity 4- Twinkl activity sheet. Dressing for the seasons activity. Can you cut out the clothes for your teddy and put them in the right place?
Don’t forget to ask for help when you need it!
Activity 2 – My Thinking and problem solving – Shape
Semi-formal – Today we are going to sort shapes. In your pack, you will find shape labels, cut them out ready for your child. Get your child to trace around the letters, and then place them on the floor with some space in between them. Now challenge your child to find items around the house that could go under each shape. Remember to take photos!
