What is inside the red envelopes?
Understanding the World
We are thinking about how we observe important celebrations in our family - these could be christenings, marriages, birthdays, Christmas, etc. This is the perfect time to pull out the photograph albums!
Talk about
- why people are celebrating
- clothes that people might be wearing
- food that might be eaten
- presents and why they are given
EAD
This week we are exploring colour mixing, using coloured water with pipettes or paints. This could be done on paper, plates, into ice cube trays or even outside on the pathway where the paint (with a little help!) should wash away.

We will also be baking a simple cake or some biscuits (or you could decorate a biscuit with some icing sugar and sprinkles). This covers so many areas - communication (listening to and following instructions), maths (weight, counting), art and design (decorating), physical development (manipulating spoons, rolling), understanding the world (talking about birthday, christening, wedding cakes) PSED (self confidence and self awareness).
Well Being

Twinkl are still providing free resources for parents. There are loads of lovely things to download

Counting and number recognition
Name recognition and name writing
Independence with clothing - especially coats, hats, scarves and gloves
