You are all super heroes being so good at home! Please try some exercises from the Superhero action Training picture below.
We love a game of Simon Says at school why not try it at home but use fitness instructions to keep active…..like hop on your left foot 10 times.
Nature
Spring is here! It would be lovely if you could go on a nature walk and try to spot some signs of spring, like snowdrops appearing. You could collect some interesting flowers, stones, leaves, twigs, feathers etc on your walk. Use some of the items you collected to create a picture.
Saint Brigid
The 1st of February was St. Brigid’s day. St Brigid is a very special Saint in Ireland. Design your own St. Brigid’s cross using paper/cardboard/pipe cleaners/drinking straws.
Story
Sit back, relax and listen to the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle on the link below

Family Activities
Work together to make the names of the people in your family using lego blocks.
Play a family game of ‘would you rather’ where you start fun conversations by asking questions that begin with ‘would you rather’ example….would you rather be invisible or have the ability to fly?
