Hello Foundation Stage, Hope you're all keeping safe and busy while staying at home. Thank you to all the parents who have logged in to Class Dojo-our new online classroom. It's great to be in touch with children and their families. All children have been given log in details so search through those book bags or look out for a letter in the post if your child wasn't at school last week.

The Easter holidays officially start now until Tuesday 14th April. Hope you all manage to speak to family members you can't visit and keep your spirits up.

Here are some fun activities to keep you busy over the break x

1. Hard boil an egg-decorate it or use it as part of a "Easter model".

2. Go out in the garden-help dig or weed. Look for mini-beasts.

3. Go on a number hunt in your local area-look for numbers on houses, cars, signs etc

4. Draw and cut out Easter egg pictures-ask an adult to hide the 'eggs'so you can hunt for them.

5. Have some water fun inside or outside. Make sure you ask your grown-ups first!!

6. Snuggle down and watch your favourite film or TV programme.

7. Read/share your favourite book with someone else.

8. Move in different ways-Run, jump, hop, skip, crawl, slide outside in your garden or in an open space.

Take care of yourselves and each other. Speak to you all soon. Love all your teachers at school xxx
