This week our learning activities are all based around the story Arabella Miller’s Tiny Caterpillar. We can’t wait to see which three learning activities you chose to share on Tapestry.

Today’s activity is one to help you get your hands nice and strong. You can use the play dough that you made on Monday, but don’t worry if you haven’t got any, there are other things you can use.

Join Mrs Spicker and Sweep to do some maths. You will need a teddy or puppet, some counters and a pen/pencil and some paper. You could use raisins, pieces of fruit, pieces of cereal etc. I have used chocolate hoops.

Join Mrs Spicker to have a go at some homemade Batik art.

Sistema, our music provider, have put together a virtual music lesson for you. Click here to join in.

Hello Reception,
We hope you are ready for another week of fun learning activities.
Keep up the super work, we are all loving seeing the work that you are uploading online.
Keep safe,
Miss Butcher, Miss Smart and Mrs Spicker 🙂

Join Miss Butcher for some of this week’s literacy activities:
⭐️ Can you write a food diary a little bit like the Very Hungry Caterpillar’s? You can use the CBeebies days of the week songs to help you remember the order of the days of the week.
⭐️ Make some play dough and use it to create some curly caterpillar letters.
⭐️ Can you use toys, puppets, pictures or just your imagination to think of the next thing to happen to the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood?
⭐️ Write and follow your own instructions to make a sandwich.
⭐️ Draw, paint or collage a picture of part of the Little Red Riding Hood story. Charlie’s challenge this week is for you to write a sentence independently using your phonics and sounds that you know.

Have fun and we are looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Join us for our virtual cafe. We are going to read a story and then do some fun activities! The instructions can be found on Tapestry or in your paper pack if you have received one. Don’t forget to show us the final product on Tapestry! You could always call a friend and do it together, just like you would do at school.

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.
