Harold's Wash up and Brush up

Thursday 25th February

Children will be able to:

• Recognise the importance of regular hygiene routines;

• Sequence personal hygiene routines into a logical order.

Introduction

Start by telling your child n a funny story about your morning routine. For example...

“Every morning, as part of my daily routine I set my alarm to wake me up, I get up, have a shower, get dressed, brush my teeth, have my breakfast - I always have toast and orange juice, then put on my muddy outdoor shoes and I walk my dog. On week days, when I get home I change out of my muddy shoes and put on my shoes for school; I always leave these at the back door of my house. Then I come to school. But this morning, just as I was changing my shoes, the doorbell rang. It was the postman delivering a parcel that was too big to fit through my letter box. I had a quick chat with the postman and then realised the time… I was going to be late for school! I quickly put on my coat and left straight away. It was only once I got to school and the other teachers were giving me funny looks that I realised what I had done…I had only changed one of my shoes!”

This story can lead to the fact that there are some things that we do every day and that we are responsible for doing. Encourage your child to talk about things that they do every day.

“Why do you think it so important that we have daily hygiene routines?”

If your child hasn't heard of Harold the giraffe before, explain that he is a very healthy, happy giraffe. You can model good practice - e.g. correct hand washing and tooth brushing techniques - and the children can join in. Go through Harold's morning routine below, with your child.

1. flush toilet

2. wash hands

3. go downstairs

4. open cereal packet

5. pour on milk

6. eat cereal

7. go upstairs

8. brush teeth

9. sneeze

10. blow nose

11. wash hands again

Activity - Harold's daily morning routine

Give out the Harold's morning routine Activity sheet, from the PSHE folder below and a long strip of paper.

Encourage your child to try to remember the order of Harold's routine then cut out each of the 6 squares, sequence them and stick them onto the long strips of paper.

Ask your child to draw 2 additional things that Harold might do before he goes to school. e.g. choose something for his lunch box or get his schoolbag ready. Children can add things that they do in the morning.

Plenary

Share the finished sequencing sheets. Allow children to tell you about the other routine items they added. Ask your child if they have any ideas why it is important to:

• wash hands

• brush teeth

• eat breakfast etc.

Remind your child that these are things that they are now old enough to take responsibility for doing themselves.

Please remember to email me any work or photos of the work you complete at home, thank you, Mrs Makda :)

Over the next few weeks we will be focussing more on our art work.
We will be carrying out an art project called ‘A View from my Window.’

I want you to create a piece of art work that represents a view from your window.

Please complete the tasks below each week.

To be completed at the start of each art activity
Task 1: Complete one the drawing warm-up activities from the art folder below.

Week Beginning 1st February
Task 2: Look at all the different artists and their work in the art folder below. Choose the one you like the most and find out some interesting facts about the artist. Complete the artist facts sheet in the art folder.

Week Beginning 8th February
Task 3: Look closely at a piece of work from the artist you like the most and have a go at copying it.

Week Beginning 15th and 22nd February
Task 4: Now look out of a window of your choice. What can you see?

• The actual view from your window?

• An imaginary view from your window? (e.g. a window into your dreams)

• The view you want for the future when you look out of your window?

It is completely up to you what you create. You can use any materials and resources in your house. This could include, crayons, paint, paper, fabrics. It is your art work so be as creative as you can.

I would like to see your amazing art work by 26^th February 2021. Good Luck Year 1! :)
