We’ve put together these creative activities, resources and ideas for learners to explore at home with their parents and carers. These activities are simple, creative and sensory and will get you moving around and thinking differently about the spaces you live in.

Some of the activities can be done with household objects, others with the simple resources we will be sending home. If you have not received a bag already get in touch and we will send one to you.

For anyone outside of our school community all the resources can be easily and cheaply purchased online and there is a link below to a pdf with all the materials and links that you will need.

We know you are all doing an amazing job during lockdown and we send our best wishes to you and our wonderful learners at home.

Using objects from around the home, make the longest line you can around your room. It can wave or zig-zag, go over and under furniture. Try to make it as long as you can and use as many different things as you can find!

Go into your kitchen cupboard and use the tins and packets you find to build a sculpture, a tower or a building.

Use forks and spoons and other kitchen implements to make a sculpture. Balance, stack and arrange the things you have found. What can you create?

Tie off one end of your string to the leg of a table or chair and wind it in and out to make a spiders web.

Cover the end of a cardboard tube with coloured cellophane and see the world through new eyes. Shine a torch inside and make your own coloured spotlights.

Twist and bend a piece of aluminium wire into any shape you like. Place it on a surface or piece of coloured paper and use a torch to make amazing shadows.

Turn out the lights and blow bubbles in the dark. Use your torch to shine and light up the bubbles as they float.

Turn off the lights, put a finger torch on your finger and dance around to your favourite music, or to some of the tracks on our Spotify Playlist. Can you dance in circles, zigzags, high and low, slow and fast?

Make a den with your space blanket and shine your finger torches inside.
