Sing Up Song of the Week

This week’s Sing Up song of the week is called ‘Wiggle Jiggle’ and it is great fun! Not only does it involve singing but also some body percussion. Why not have a listen and sing along with your family!

Miss Wright’s challenge! Is it “heavy” or “light”?

Can you try Miss Wright’s challenge and go on a “heavy” or “light” hunt? See if you can write a “h” for the “heavy” objects and an “l” for the “light” objects. You could use kitchen scales, or you could have a go at making your own scales!

To make a set of DIY balance scales, all you need is:

– A children’s clothes hanger with notches – 2 x paper cups – String – Scissors

1. Cut two pieces of string equal in length.

2. Make two separate holes in the cups and tie the string through the holes to create a handle.

3. Hang the cups over either side of the clothes hanger.

4. Hang your scales from somewhere that they can swing easily.

Don’t forget to take a picture of your hunt and put it on Tapestry!

⭐️ Draw a picture of a whale or snail and write sentences inside with the things they saw on their journey.

⭐️ Design a rescue poster for the whale. Make sure to include where the whale is, what the problem is and whether the people will need to bring any tools. You could add a picture at the top.

⭐️ What animal would you want to travel on? Draw a picture of it and then label why it would be good to travel on. Challenge: Write about your animal using full sentences.

⭐️ There is lots of rhyming in the story. Can you find the rhyming words? Challenge: Can you think of other words that rhyme with the words from the story?
