1) Collect some leaves that you like the shape of. 2) Arrange them so they overlap each other (this could be in a pattern like the photo). 3) Push a short thin stick through the leaves where they overlap and back through the other side (like you would a safety pin). This will hold them together.

Recommended Summer Reads Year 1

Why not build a reading den and share a good book. I wonder which one will be your favourite!

1) When giving instructions try not to give too many at once. Increase the number gradually and keep them simple. 2) When asking a questions be sure to give your child enough time to process what is being asked and to answer. 3) Have dedicated talk time at home, perhaps dinner time, where there is not TV or electronic devices to distract you.

4) When talking model looking at the person who is speaking and responding with non verbal cues, for example nodding your head. 5) Share books together; books with flaps or interactive pages are lots of fun to share together. 6) Think out loud; talk to your child about what you are doing, when and why to model your thought process. 7) Encourage turn taking by playing lots of games together and most of all have fun!

Fun and Games for All the Family Freeze and Balance!

Between running, jogging, hopping and skipping, all weaving in and out of each other, the adult calls out a body part and everyone must stop moving and balance on that exact body part. You can even make it more challenging by adding to the number of body parts! There will be lots of laughs when the little ones are in the middle of skipping around and need to drop to the floor, land on their hands and knees, and touch the floor with their ear!
