Morning Everyone!

It is the weekend tomorrow!

Today's Activities

Today you are going to practice writing your full name. That is both your first name and your last name.

Try writing it in different colored pens!

Now we are going to practice the Tricky Words using the songs on YouTube. Click on the ones you would like to have a go at. Remember to sing along!

Challenge: If you can, try and write the words as the song plays. You can pause the song if that helps!

Maths

Lay the table for 4 people.

Choose some food to share e.g. grapes and share them equally between the 4 plates. Make sure that it is fair! You all need the same amount.

Look at the sharing PowerPoint and see if you can answer the questions.

Today's job is to sing the alphabet song using your alphabet strip to help you. Make sure you point to each sound as you go along.

Today, we are going to be looking at ‘sharing’

Sharing is different to halving as halving is between 2 toys and sharing can be between more than 2 toys.

Look at the life cycle of a butterfly PowerPoint again and focus on the facts at the end. Use some of the facts to write a sentence about a butterfly.

Today we are going to continue our alphabet strip.

Take the alphabet strip that you started yesterday.

Today we are only going to write the upper case letters from A - Z underneath the lower case letters we wrote yesterday. 

E.g. a  b c d

      A B C D

If you have room, you could even draw a picture of something beginning with that letter.

Maths

Collect a group of objects or food and choose a favourite teddy.

Halve the food between you and your teddy, so that it is fair. That means that you both have an equal (the same) amount. You have half each!

Jerry the Sheep and Matthew Mole had 6 tea cakes to share.  They halved the 6 tea cakes. How many did they each get?  Half of 6 is 3!

(Don't worry, Mrs Clarke had a word with them about healthy eating and not ending up feeling sick like the Hungry Caterpillar!)

Extra Activity

Look at the Hungry Caterpillar. He is feeling a bit sick!

Write a sentence about the Hungry Caterpillar.

E.G. ‘He is sick because …’

Don’t forget to count the words in your sentence on your finger. Then use a capital letter, finger spaces and a full stop. 

We hope you are all well and keeping safe!
