Imagine That Shakers

Please remember to bring your homemade shakers to class this week.

There are lots of ideas in your home activity book so be sure to have a look.

Your shaker can be as complicated or as simple as you like. So if you haven't made one yet and are stuck for an idea simply find an empty container and fill.

Here is a nice idea for a shaker.

Put My Rock in my Pocket - Imagine That Activity 6

Monday's class was fabulous. We had real fun story-telling and making up new words to our tree-house song. The children also had fun acting out the story from the book can you find me. You could try doing this at home with soft toys!

This week at home you are asked to find a nature treasure. Something you might find on a walk in the woods, the park or even your back garden. Autumn is great for finding treasures. There are shiny conkers, spiky shells, seeds that fall from the trees like helicopters and a whole array of wonderfully coloured leaves. Perhaps find time to take a walk this week and collect a few. You could make a very special autumn treasure box together.

My children and I are great fans of the Nature Detectives website where you will find a wealth of activities to do. For more ideas take a look at their Autumn activities booklet there are lots of treasure suggestions on the back page.

Have a fun week!
