Flying Start Home Learning Continues…!

Flying Start upload weekly home learning plans to your child’s online learning story!

Each week and sometimes twice a week, you will find an activity idea delivered to your child’s eyLog learning story! You will get a notification in your emails and then can see the easy to read plan which has been written for your childs’s age and stage in learning.

The plans have been written by experienced Flying Start staff and they target areas across the whole curriculum, but using items that you will have at home… so you don’t need to go out and buy anything fancy!

 

If your child needs some speech and language support, you will find some plans are targeted for this area of development, telling you exactly how you can support their development.

All we ask, is you give them a go and if possible upload a little photo or video back onto their learning story so we can see their progress.

Keep your eyes peeled, every now and again there will be competitions and fun to get involved with!

This week the children have been exploring a Gruffalo hunt in the garden! The children were given boards that showed images of the animals from the story, with our boards we went on a hunt around the garden to find them all!

Flying Start Nurseries Make Magic Potions!

Flying Start Nurseries Make Magic Potions!

Toddlers have been making magic! Watch Out!
The spells they have been making consist of many special natural ingredients with herbs, spices, glitter and water.
The children collected their items on their daily walk or in their garden, finding petals, leaves, sticks, stones, some even found surprise objects!
They added their water, shouted ABRACADABRA and TA-DAH! And… look! WOW!
Some children froze their potions for a new spell the next day to help make it melt.
What a lot of maths and imaginative play learning in this fun idea.

The Scavenger Hunt!
We have seen photos and videos on EYLog Scavenger hunts, inside and outside with great success!
Children are searching high and low, finding objects with clues…. this is a great way to encourage your child’s listening skills, memory and thinking skills working out where items may be.
In nature we saw some fantastic colour matching, just look at all of the different colours found on a short walk!
Keep up the good work families, lots of home learning fun and play taking place … we love seeing it!
