Today you can share all of your learning from the week on ILD. Lots of you have been working hard to become Little Earth Helpers this week. What have you discovered about helping the planet? What have you changed about your family life to help the earth?
How will you share your learning? You may want to make a video to explain your learning, or make a book, a poster, a model or a piece of art to show your learning! However you want to share your ‘Little Earth Helpers” we can’t wait to see your learning!
Miss Sarah discovered a fantastic plastic free grocery in Bangkok who will be delivering plastic free fruits and vegetables every week to her house!

Sensory Play
Sensory Calming Bottles
How do you calm yourself down when you have lots of big feelings?
Explanation- English
Calm Down Bottles are a way for children to begin to move from co-regulation (needing help from an adult to calm down when overstimulated or upset) to self regulation (using learned strategies to calm down by themselves).
Shaking the bottle provides the input your child needs to shake out the big feelings they are having and watching the objects falling down to the bottom helps your child to shift their focus and to calm themselves down.
Make the bottle with your child. Ask them what they would like to put in their bottle. Although I find that glitter works best, you can try using other items that you can find in your home instead e.g. lego block, loom bands, beads, buttons, sequins, googly eyes, water beads, shells etc.
Perhaps you would like to listen to a story about mindfulness and meditation?

Phonics
Rhyme and Run
Instructions- English
We have a rhyming challenge for you today. This involves moving around so get your trainers ready! Remember, rhyming means that we hear the same sound at the end of the word.
Parents, please get your child to draw 4 pictures which will need to rhyme with lots of things. The examples mug, log, cat and can are a great start as they have so many words that rhyme with them. These 4 pictures need to be placed around your room or garden for your child to run to. As you call out a word that rhymes with one of those pictures, your child needs to run to the one that matches the rhyme, just like Ms Louise in the video.
Check your snacks - Do they contain palm oil? Swap palm oil snacks for palm oil free snacks to save habitats for orangutans and other wildlife.
Have a fantastic Friday!
Please remember that Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th May are school holidays, so there will be no CSL provision for these days. We look forward to seeing you again on Wednesday 5th May.
