Fragmentation Lockdown Art

School suggested we create a piece of lockdown art.
We chose some colours to represent this time at home in lockdown, then painted a piece of paper (he decided to paint with his fingers!)


When dry we tore up the painting into fragments then glued them to a piece of paper randomly.


We then looked through newspapers we had for words associated with time in lockdown and glued them on.

4 Marker Challenge - PE

Image
I've named this the 4 marker challenge!  Use 4 cones or 4 old cloths as a marker.  Set the 4 markers a metre apart from each other some distance from a start line and finish line.  You could use a marker for start and finish lines.  From the start line run to marker one and back, then run to marker two and back, run to 3 and back then 4 and back, then first to finish line is the winner.  If only one child doing it you could time them to get quicker each day.  You can adapt this activity. Eg a) Run to marker 1 and back repeat b) Hop to marker 1 and back repeat c) Use a football and dribble to marker one and back d) Football kick ball to marker 1 and back repeat e) Bounce ball to marker 1 and back f) throw tennis ball at marker 1 and back g) throw tennis ball in air repeatedly as running to marker 1 and back h) if you have a hockey stick dribble hockey ball  to marker 1 and back I) shoot hockey ball to marker 1 and back.

Sprouting Beans

Image
Grow some beans. We soaked some bean seeds we'd saved last year. A day later we put napkins in jam jars and soaked it in water. We added the bean seeds and put them in the airing cupboard to see what happens. After a few days some of the bean seeds have started to sprout roots and shoots. Once the seeds sprout, move the jars to a light place. Keep them wet. Talk about what plants need to grow. Water, air (carbon dioxide), light and nutrients. After a week or two plant them in pots of soil or compost. Ask why do you think the beans grow shoots shoots in the dark cupboard. Putting them in a dark cupboard (with warmth and water) encourages them to seek light and sprout.

Flowers and Coloured Water Experiment

Image
How do flowers take in water? What happens when we put flowers in coloured water? You need a white or light coloured flower eg daffodils or carnations. Food colouring, jar or vase, water.  Ask you child How do flowers take in water?  Talk about the roots taking in water from the soil and the water travels up the stem and into the veins in the petals and leaves. .  Ask them what happens when we put flowers in coloured water? You can talk about it or to extend it you can get the children to write a prediction giving a reason why.  Eg I think the petals will turn red because the coloured water travels up the stem and into the petals because flowers need water to live.  Put the cut flower into a glass jar or vase add water and some drops of food colouring - blue or red work well. Wait a day or so to see what happens.
