Every week we’re going to add an easy to follow, educational and fun downloadable activity sheet !
You will notice each week will be focused around the four key themes below:
Exploring the arts and crafts through a range of practical activities.
PE, Sport and Physical Activities to help you keep active, including healthing eating ideas to fuel your exercise!
Time to find out what is happening out your garden or in the street where you live.
Bring the adventure to your home with activities that aim to build your resilience, confidence and curiosity.
Each weekly activity sheet will use a variety of websites, videos, books and songs to create an interactive and fun learning experience. As with all online and active learning programmes, please ensure you take the appropriate measures to ensure your child’s safety.
The activities are designed for children and families to be completed together. We respectfully suggest that children are not left unsupervised when completing tasks, especially for the online activities. Edsential is not responsible for external sites which may contain inappropriate images and content unsuitable for children.
Sue Calveley our SEND specialist has created some video resources for parents and children to utilise and get involved with at home! Our first series uses the alphabet arc to build explore word building.
In this video Sue explains how the alphabet arc can be used to help spell and sound out words phonetically.
Identifying the vowels, part-time vowel and consonants. Remember if you don’t have alphabet letters you can make your own using paper squares. You’ll need the 26 letters of the alphabet plus an extra sets of vowels. We’d love to hear how you got on using the alphabet arc at home!
This week the focus is on ‘ea’. The sound they make and how they can be used to spell words.
We’d love to hear how you got on completing our activity sheets so don’t forget to tag us using @EdsentialUK with the hashtag #EdsentialatHome on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. You can also find info from others who’ve been completing our activity sheets.
