Weekly Learning Project and extra ideas to enhance children's play and learning
The project this week aims to provide opportunities for your child to learn more about celebrations.
Family Photographs
- Look over a selection of photographs of family celebrations and discuss them with your child.
- Talk about what the celebration was about, who attended, what you did to celebrate, when it took place, whether it is an event that happens each year.
- Can your child remember the event taking place? What do they remember of it?
Plan a family celebration:
- Decide on a family celebration for the week. This could be a family indoor picnic, meal, dance etc.
- Ask your child to write invitations to family members in your house.
- Create homemade decorations using coloured paper (If you do not have coloured paper at home, you could use old newspaper or wrapping paper) You could make paper chains or bunting.
- Plan a menu for the party and make the food together.
Birthdays:
- Talk to your child about when they were born.
- Look at photographs of the day they were born, if you have them available.
- Do they know the date of their birthday?
- Why are we special? Talk about what makes your child special! Look in a mirror and tell yourself why you are special and why people love you just the way you are!
Create a celebration card for someone you love
- What will they put on the front?
- Will it be pictures or will they write a birthday poem?
- Can they use different materials to design their celebration card? e.g. paint, recycling, pencils, sticks etc.
- Inside, write about why you love them.
Bake a cake:
- Weigh out the ingredients and bake a cake for a celebration.
- Can they write the instructions and send them to a friend?
- Can they take a photo themselves and then help you to send me a photo of their cake and instructions?
