This week our story is ‘A Squash and a Squeeze.’ Miss Wright needs to find a container that will hold more food for the old lady’s animals. Can you count with Miss Wright? Which container holds more?

Can you try this at home? You will need some different containers and food such as pasta or rice. See if you can write the number using our number rhymes- for example “down across then down some more, that’s the way we make a 4!”

Charlie Challenge- let’s estimate how many cups of food we will need to fill the container. This means that we need to look at the container and guess a number before we find out the answer! Was your estimation correct?

We’d love to see some of your pictures on Tapestry!

Listen to Mrs. Sheppard as she reads a story all about feelings. The book describes and explores the many feelings children experience in their life.

Hi everybody,

Have a look around you while out and about for your daily exercise. What different houses can you see? Do they look the same? When you get back, have a look at your home. Does it look like the others you have seen?

Can you follow Miss Wright’s instructions to make a junk model of your home? You could use recycled boxes, wrapping paper, tubes, bubble wrap or anything else you can find!

We’d love to see your creations on Tapestry!

Have fun 🙂

Lyrics

What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, sayin’, “How do you do?”
They’re really sayin’, “I love you”I hear babies cryin’, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more, than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

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!

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!

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?
