Voice sounds (in conjunction with Trumpets) Show children how they can make sounds with their voices, for example: Make your voice go down a slide – wheee! Make your voice bounce like a ball – boing, boing Sound really disappointed – oh Hiss like a snake – ssssss Keep everyone quiet – shshshsh Gently moo like a cow – mmmoooo Look astonished – oooooo! Be a steam train – chchchchch Buzz like a bumble bee – zzzzzzz Be a clock – tick tock
Collect objects and toys that link to different songs, e.g. a toy spider might represent Incy Wincy Spider. Can you make a song bag and sing together? |
Patterns! Explore patterns in lots of different ways. Make patterns using body percussion e.g. clap/stamp, sounds e.g. instruments, objects or toys, drawing and painting. Can you find any patterns if you go for a walk e.g.the colours of the cars.
Have a go at representing numbers in different ways. How many different ways can you represent each number e.g.for number 1 as a numeral, as a word, as an object, as a drawing, as a line, as a dot, as an action...
Can you use marks to represent numbers on a walk e.g. record the number of bugs you find. |

Make cotton wool clouds and draw what you would like to see at the top of the beanstalk.
Thread cheerios onto dry spaghetti- can you develop your fine motor skills.
Cut and stick your favourite pictures from a catalogue or magazine.
Paint a picture of the story setting.
