Home Learning for our Nursery Children
A Special Selection of VE Day Activities
Paper Aeroplanes
Make a paper aeroplane by folding paper. Once you have made your plane try using felt tip pens or crayons to decorate it. You could make it look like a Spitfire!
Poppies
Use a range of things around your home to make your own poppy picture. It could be pasta, ribbon or packaging used to make a collage. You could draw or paint a poppy or maybe even chalk one on the driveway. Put them in your window to help celebrate on 8th May.
Medals
Make your very own medal. This could be using a jar lid, or cut out cardboard shape, decorated with things glued, drawn or painted on. Attach a safety pin so you can wear it proudly on 8th May and remember others.
Bunting
Make bunting in red, white and blue. You could use paper or fabric if you have any at home. Why not cut up empty cereal boxes to make some bunting? Decorate with felt tip pens, paint or collage. Hole punch the top of each triangle and thread ribbon or string through the holes. If you don’t have a hole punch you could tape the decorated piece onto string.

Action Rhymes Ideas
Action rhymes involve the use of rhymes and body movements that promote the development of oral language. While engaging in action rhymes with adults or other children, toddlers hear and begin to understand that certain words sound similar. This is an important step in phonological awareness.
