You could film them making it like my world kitchen (or just watch some of these for inspiration....who doesn't love Ainsley Harriet!) Unfortunately, she forgets to write the name of the animal next to the measurements, but she does remember some facts about each one. Look at the illustrations of Heather when she is turning her torch on and off. How is she feeling? How can you tell? Can you think of different words that can describe emotions? Can you Invent a New Olympic Game?- Challenge your child to invent their very own game for the 2021 (2022) Olympics. Look at a list of all of the sports that already compete in the summer Olympics here. Can they write a set of instructions for the new game or draw illustrations. Why not test the game out as a family? A range of openers: Dad decided to..... Just then, Next, Then, When, If, While, At that moment, In the morning, etc.

Remarkable Routines- Can your child create their very own simple routine, just like a gymnast, dancer or synchronised swimmer?Traditional celebration: Talk to an adult and ask about any traditional celebrations you may have as a family. Why do you celebrate them? How do you celebrate them and when? Do you have to wear different clothes and eat different food? Could you record this in a picture or piece of writing

Draw a picture of your street. Support your child to take a look at the street and buildings around where they live. Encourage them to think about the shape of the buildings and the different heights. The illustrations are gorgeous, first and foremost. I loved the play with the flashlight, the softness of the nighttime forest, the colors of the spaceship. If for no other reason, read this for the pictures. Saw one review here talking about how the text actually detracted from the story, and I can see that. This could have been a great wordless picture book too - the illustrations carry that much of the story. I have added more activities to Mathletics to support your maths learning this week. Please keep up the brilliant work on there.

You could make a calendar for the next week or for the whole year 2020 to practise. This could include drawing or paintings of each season/day. I have set maths challenges using Mathletics today as I wanted you to have access to measuring lessons that wouldn't necessarily need a ruler. These activities will be ongoing and have been set for a week. I will still post more maths activities here for those of you who cannot access Mathletics but I do not expect you to do both. Noun Phrases (2 adjectives to the noun): grubby, dirty rabbit, bright, warm day, cheeky, speedy bunny. What follows in the second half, is both a passing of time and perhaps a passing of innocence. Heather is now grown up, with her own family – yet something within her still yearns for Outer Space. A weighted sadness/sense of melancholy appears in the second of the panelled spreads. Interestingly, the picturebook structure acts almost like a mirror here, reflecting the panels and semiotic choices seen in the first half of the text.

Could you planthe sequel to 'Do Not Wash This Bear' based on the end of the book from Monday's bedtime story? Mathletics measuring work is still on line and LOADS of you have logged in to have a go! Well done all of you! I will be adding more to have a go at but whilst the others log in you could try some of the mathletics games. Start by watching a video of a routine together, here are some suggestions: men’s gymnastic routine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drvXbzZHV9I,Today guys we are working on fractions- finding 1/2 or 1/4 of a set of things is an easy way to do this at home.Use anything you have that are the 'same' like pieces of pasta or pens. Have youever taken part in an ‘Egg and Spoon Race?’ Find some family members to take part. (The rule is to balance an egg or similarly shaped item upon a spoon and race with it to the finishing line) Your grown upscan decide on the prize: it could be an Easter Egg or a day of wearing PJs all day! Flags- ​Look at ​flags from around the world​ with your child. Discuss which are your child’s favourites and why? Ask your child to recreate their favourite; this could be through drawing, collaging etc. The word ‘sport’ contains the sound ‘or’. Ask your child to list as many words as they can containing the ‘or’ sound. Your child might identify words that contain an alternative spelling for ‘or’ such as oor/ore/aw/au. The Queen: Then and Now- What was life like for Queen Elizabeth I? This video may help your child to understand. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zkrkscw/articles/zkh7bdm
