Be Happy Day
Hello children, Jude, Lamby and Flossie would like to welcome you to 'Be Happy Day'. We have lots of lovely activities which will definitely make you feel happy!
Being happy is good for our bodies and our minds. It's important to do things which make us feel good and make us happy. Today we're are going to some activities which make Jude, Lamby and Flossie very happy and we hope they make you happy too.
A Walk in the Park
We love going for a walk in our local park. It feels good to be out in the fresh air. We can look at the beautiful colours on the trees and watch the animals. We can listen for the birds singing in the trees. Maybe you could go for a walk even if it's just around the block, you'll be amazed what you can see and hear.
Encourage your children to enjoy the outdoors. Remind them that being outside is really good for us. Suggest going for a walk together. Encourage your children to decide the best clothes to wear for the weather. Use language such as walk, park, what can you see/hear, animal names, tree names, leaves, colours and colour names, autumn, happy, feeling good.
Develops - Communication & Language, PSHE, Physical and Understanding the World skills.
Let's Dance!
We LOVE dancing. It makes us really happy. We love listening to the music and moving our bodies to match it. Look out for Lamby and Flossie joining in.
