Wednesday

• Use visual picture cards to sort images into places that feel safe and places that feel unsafe.

• Use visual picture cards to demonstrate emotions.

• Talk about or show using visuals things that help you feel safe.

Do any of these things make you feel afraid:

• going to new places?

• the dark?

• dogs?

• loud noises?

• Tell someone all of the things you can do to help you feel better when you are afraid. Ask them to write the things down in a list.

• Use a shoebox to collect things that remind you of times when you were brave or things that make you feel strong and ready to try new things.

• Find some plants that need to be watered and water them.

• Take some photos of plants in the garden.

• Sit with someone in the garden and touch and smell plants. This is really good to do in a herb garden.

Try growing potatoes:

1. Keep an old potato somewhere out of the sun.

2. Wait for the potato to grow a "sprout".

3. Dig a hole in soil and place the potato in it, with the sprout facing upwards.

4. Cover the potato in soil.

5. Water the potato.

6. Wait for the potato to grow.

Try growing cress:

1. Spread tissues out on a plate or tray.

2. Pour water over the tissues to dampen them.

3. Sprinkle cress seeds over the tissues.

4. Put the seeds in a sunny spot.

5. Keep the tissues damp.

6. After the seeds have grown, cut the shoots off and eat them in a salad or healthy sandwich.

• Use visuals to chose a healthy snack.

• Ask someone in your home to help you choose a healthy snack to eat.

• Try a food that you haven't eaten before.

• Use a tally to record how many healthy snacks you eat this week.

• Watch Big Teds Big Adventure with penguins.

• Try to walk like a penguin.

• Use black and white watercolours to paint.

• Enjoy the video and then draw a picture of a penguin.

• Do you have any questions about penguins? If so, ask someone in your family to help you research on their phone or computer.

• Put a feather and a rock on the table. Blow them with your breath or a hand fan. Which one moves?

• Make two playdough balls that are the same size.

• Put 3-4 things in order from the lightest to the heaviest.

• Put 3-4 things in order from the shortest to the longest.
