Here is your maths challenge this week. Can you make 2D and 3D shapes out of cocktail sticks and marshmallows? You could also use pipe cleaners or straws with blue tack or playdough.

Miss Wright’s bean plant has been growing for 3 weeks now. She has noticed lots of changes. The stem is a lot taller now and the bean plant has two big leaves!

Have a look at your bean plant. Has it changed? Can you draw it in ‘week 3’ of your bean diary?

Charlie challenge: can you think of a word to describe the bean plant? Have a go at writing the initial sound next to your picture. Miss wright has written “b” for “big” leaves.

Please upload a picture of your runner bean diary to Tapestry and come back next week for an update on Miss Wright’s runner bean plant!

Can you develop your fine motor skills this week by making some delicious healthy snacks? By peeling and cutting (with supervision) fruit you’re working the small muscles in your hands and fingers. Persevere and don’t give up!!
Join Miss Butcher and see how she completed the fruit salad learning project this week.

We hope you all enjoyed listening to the ‘Superworm’ story on Monday. Can you have a go at making your own sock Superworm?

You will need:
– old socks
– newspaper/tissue paper
– string or elastic bands
– googly eyes or paper
– glue
– pens/paints

1. Scrunch up your newspaper/tissue paper/old socks and fill one sock until it is firm.

2. Seal your worm by tying with string or wrapping an elastic band around the end.

3. Stick on googly eyes or draw your eyes and cut them out. Stick your eyes on one end with glue.

4. Decorate your worm with felt tip pens or paints. You could give your worm spots, stripes or even zig zags!

As well as your daily phonics learning, this week we are reading the tale of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ by Eric Carle.

The literacy activities this week are:
1. Can you hear and say the initial sounds in some of the foods that the caterpillar eats. Do any of the foods start with the same letter? i.e. pear and plum. Challenge: can you you have a go at writing some of the sounds in the words.

2. Can you draw and label the life cycle of a butterfly?

3. Can you research and find out which other types of animals hatch from an egg and have a go at drawing them and labelling them?

4. Can you choose a different life cycle/animal to retell your own version of the story? I have used a baby dinosaur hatching from an egg. You could do a frog, dragon, chicken etc.

Happy Monday everybody!

Our new story this week is ‘Superworm.’ Watch him wiggle, see him squirm, hip hip hooray for Superworm!

Watch Miss Wright read our story this week and listen carefully for our new words: ‘superhero’ and ‘power.’ Can you tell your adult what the words might mean?
