New Theme: Adventure

September 7, 2020

This week’s theme:

Our New Theme: Adventure

This week’s colouring in sheet:

Download and print this week’s colouring sheet here.

 

Activities for the week:

 

Fact of the week: An adventure is defined as ‘an unusual, exciting, and possibly dangerous activity, such as a trip or experience’ – we’re going to be going on lots of adventures this year!

 

Activity 1:

Our new theme for 2020-2021 is ‘Adventure’! Learn the new warm up dance – it’s filled full of songs about Adventure. Do you recognise any of them?

 

Activity 2:

What’s the best adventure you’ve ever been on? Where did you go, what did you do? Draw your memories from your adventure. Act out any particularly good memories.

 

What’s your favourite adventure film? Is it The Goonies/Hook/Back To The Future/Star Wars/Indiana Jones/Lord of the Rings/Jumanji/Wizard of Oz, or something else entirely? Draw your favourite parts from the film, or act them out.

 

Activity 3:

What things do you think we’ll need to pack in our adventure rucksack for the year ahead? What things do we need at Purple Patch? Can you find/draw these things? It might be a paint brush, a cup of tea, and a musical instrument!

 

Activity 4:

Colour in the ‘Adventure’ colouring page that you can download for here. You can also colour in our new colouring page that marks the start of our new Purple Patch Adventure year too.

Find them online here.

 

Activity 5:

Learn the new Cool Down signed song. This year the song is called ‘Anywhere’.

The lyrics to sing along to can be found here.

 

Homework:

Try practising the warm up and cool down signed song all this week, we’ll need to get good at them as we’ll be doing both every week at Purple Patch!

 

Why not take a photo of any of the activities you’ve tried this week and share it with us? You can share it on our Facebook, Instagram or Twitter or send it to melanie@purplepatcharts.org and we’ll put it online for you!

I’ve learnt lots of new things, and I look forward to what we’re doing each week. I’m happy that I’m part of a group and am able to be myself at Purple Patch.

The best bit is seeing a sense of achievement in the participants as they learn, have fun and become more confident and independent.

If I didn’t have a bursary I wouldn’t be able to come, and I’m so glad that I can. It makes me happy to be part of the group.
