We're having a budding time with our New Life theme this term.

​

Below, you'll find our home learning Bingo Board to choose activities to do with your children at home.

​​

This board is filled with a variety of fun, engaging, and meaningful activities designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and conversation at home. Each activity has been thoughtfully chosen to support your child’s development in a playful and low-pressure way.

Participation is completely optional, but we highly encourage families to explore the board together. Whether it’s baking, building, reading, or exploring nature, these activities are a great way to create special moments, strengthen bonds, and make lasting memories.

Spring 1 Theme: “New Life” – How You Can Support at Home

This half term, our theme is “New Life”, which focuses on growth, change, and the wonders of the natural world. This is a lovely opportunity to explore simple, sensory-rich experiences that connect with the idea of new beginnings. Here are some ideas you can try at home or in the community:

Sensory and Practical Activities

• Planting Seeds Together
  Use easy-to-grow seeds like cress or sunflower. Let your child feel the soil, sprinkle seeds, and water them. Watching plants grow is a great way to experience change over time.

• Exploring Baby Animals
  If possible, visit a local farm or petting zoo to see lambs, chicks, or other young animals. Talk about how they are cared for and what they need to grow.

• Nature Walks
  Go for a walk and look for signs of new life—buds on trees, early flowers, or birds building nests. Collect natural items like leaves or twigs for sensory play.

Sensory Play at Home

• Water Play
  Use cups, spoons, and containers for pouring and splashing. This links to caring for plants and animals.

• Soft Toys and Role Play
  Use toy animals or dolls to explore gentle touch and caring routines like feeding or wrapping in a blanket.

Communication Opportunities

• Use simple words or signs like “grow,” “big,” “small,” “baby,” and “new” during activities.

• Encourage choices: “Do you want to water the plant or touch the soil?”…use visuals

Community Ideas

• Visit a local garden centre to look at plants and flowers.

• Check if your library has books with bright pictures of animals and plants.

These activities are designed to be hands-on, sensory, and language-rich, supporting the developmental needs of our pupils while making learning fun and meaningful.
