As a note to parents, most of our activities are play based and if you have found your child has really enjoyed an activity then please revisit it.  
We've got some activities that should keep you busy today and get you moving.
So at 9am you can start the day with some exercise with Joe Wicks, just click here .  Or warm up with  Andy's Wild Workout  and tell us which animals you pretended to be today.

Remember to  watch today's session of phonics by clicking    here.  We have been very pleased with the work we have seen so far.

Can you make a glass empty?
When we drink half of the water we say the glass in half full. Can you make your glass half full?

Mrs Subacbus - nursery@crumpsall.manchester.sch.uk

Some activities for the day to keep you busy...

Literacy activity
Let’s go outside and have some fun!
Using any washing liquids, bubble bath, shampoo etc, can you make bubbles?
Can you tell a grown up what you might need to make bubbles?
Here is a recipe to help you.
Bubble mixture
Makes 350ml
Prep 5 minutes
  • 50ml washing-up liquid (one part)
  • 300ml water (six parts)
1. Measure the washing-up liquid into a container.
2. Slowly add in the water, being careful not to create too many bubbles at this stage. Gently stir the mixture together to combine – a chopstick is perfect for this.
3. If you can, let the bubble mixture rest before using it, as it will make your bubbles even better.
4. When you’re ready, dip your bubble wand into the mixture and start blowing bubbles!
Homemade bubble wands
If you don’t have a wand from a store-bought pot of bubbles, don’t despair! You can have fun by looking for different items around the house that can be used to make bubbles. Here are some ideas to get you started:
  • Paperclips – bend them into wands or use as they are
  • Straws
  • Biscuit cutters
  • Pipe cleaners
  • Fly swatters

Numeracy activity
Let's start with a dance that repeats just like a pattern. Click on the link for Banana  Banana Meatball.
See if you can complete the 5 patterns below
Challenge: See if you can make your own using shapes
