**Class 1 Home Learning Timetable Friday 15th January**

Good morning class one,

I really enjoyed hearing your winter songs yesterday! They were brilliant!

Below is today's learning. I have also created a winter quiz for you to complete on Google Classroom so make sure you have a look at that.

We have had a super week full of lots of great learning! Well done everyone.

Remember to send photos and videos using class dojo portfolio and Google classroom so that we can see how your learning has been going.

I am here to help so please let me know if you need anything.

**Input 1: 9:30am**

Mrs Coleman- Harris will lead this topic session for all of Reception and Nursery together.

On a Friday we usually have forest school so today we will set you a forest school challenge!

Let's think about how we can help the birds in our garden over the winter season. How can we help them? Why do we need to help them? What if the bird's water bowl has frozen and the water turns to ice?

Can you make a bird feeder using things you have at home? Hang it in your garden somewhere safe for the birds to eat. Can you observe the birds that visit your feeder? Maybe you can draw them and write about what they do.

Here are some ideas and links to help you make a bird feeder at home.

There is no set home learning for this afternoon. Please learn through your play, use the resources on the blogs, go for a walk or whatever you would like to do. I will see you next week for some more home learning.

Have a super weekend.

**Here are some more things to keep you busy this week.**

On Google classroom I have posted some PE resources for you to use.

**Listen to the winter music first and then move to it. How does it make you feel? How does it make you want to move to the music?**
