What are you thankful for?

morning register

Do the morning register - look at what day it is and see if you can find your name and practise writing it.

You can either ask mum or dad to print a copy for you to write on, or you can make your own register to use at home.

Gerald Giraffe is helping me make his bed today.

Do you make your own bed?

Can you help your parents by keeping your room tidy?

Riddle of the day;

What's worse than finding a worm in your apple?

Finding half a worm.

Do you remember when we pretended to go to the airport?

Do you remember what Miss Anre did with your passport?

Can you remember what was in your suitcase?

The Little Red Hen

Today we have another turn to listen to Ms Anna read the story of The Little Red Hen. Make sure you are sitting comfortably, close your eyes and listen to the story.

Can you imagine what the farm might look like?

What does the little red hen look like?

Use your imagination to create your own pictures for the story.
