Science lesson 4 - How do we change as we grow up?
If you have them, find 3-4 photos of yourself at different ages. Look at the photos together and talk about how you changed as you got older. If you don't have any you could use the staff photos on the 'guess the baby quiz' here
https://www.highfieldhall.derbyshire.sch.uk/weekly-staff-challenge/
You could ask your child to order the selection of photos from youngest to oldest.
Have a look at a selection of photos of your child from when they were a baby to now. Draw a timeline and ask them to draw the changes at the different ages.
PSHE lesson 4 - Belonging
Sit together in a comfortable space.
Discuss what it means to “belong” somewhere. -
Explain to your child that when we belong, we feel safe, loved, and heard.
Explain to your child that you are going to create a very special belonging branch today.
If you have a garden go on a hunt for a stick or branch together.
Explain that the branch is important because it helps you remember a special memory you had with your family.
Cover a flat surface (e.g. table or floor) with newspaper and place the following materials on the newspaper: branch, paint, paint brushes, trays, and paper.
Help your child paint their hand with the paintbrush and paint and create their handprint on the paper. If you don't have paint just draw round your hand on the paper instead. Do the same with every member of your family. Assist your child in washing their hand(s).
As the handprints dry, cut out varying sizes of string. Encourage your child to help cut the string if they are able to do so safely. This improves their fine motor development.
Once the handprints are dry, allow your child to help write the names of the family members on the handprints. Cut the handprints out and use a hole puncher to create a hole at the top of each handprint.
Encourage your child to assist you as you put the twine through the handprints. Tie knots to keep the handprints in place.
Next, hang the handprints on the branch. After your belonging branch is complete, discuss some of your favourite things about each member of your family (e.g., Harper is kind, mommy makes me laugh, etc.) |

PSHE lesson 5 Discuss the following questions together -Tell me about a time you have been on a team. -What are some things that teams can do together? -How can someone be a good team member? -Do you have a favourite sports team?
