Daily Challenge

We are going to be posting a little challenge daily that will hopefully help with your home learning. Thank you so much to all who have posted their challenges and other lovely learning on Tapestry.

Please keep posting any lovely learning and play that you are doing together. Your teachers miss seeing all of you everyday, and these pictures keep us smiling.

Minibeast Mondays

This week's minibeast is ants! Watch the video below and use the information to create a fact-file all about ants. We want you to write about what they eat, where they live, and what they look like. We would love you to do some drawing in your fact-file too!

Feelings friend

As it is children’s mental health week, we wanted to give you a challenge that focuses on how we feel. Today we would like you to make a feelings friend- Mrs Clark made one at home so that you can see the steps.

You’ll need a box, some paper, scissors, glue and things to decorate your box. Draw your ‘friend’ and cut it out- it needs to have a big mouth so that it can gobble up your feelings. Stick your ‘friend’ to the box and cut out the mouth (you might need a grown up to help with this bit). Decorate it some more- Mrs Clark added a bow tie and some hair to hers.

You can then write down how you are feeling and feed it to your new friend.

We will also be adding some books to the storytime page that look at feelings.

Wednesday 3rd February

Repeating patterns

Can you use different resources from around the house to make a repeating pattern? See if you can start a pattern and then get your grown up to carry it on.

In my patterns, I used pasta and coins; but you can use anything!

Spicy challenge 🌶 Can you try and use 4 different things to make your pattern?

We can't wait to see your patterns on tapestry! If you choose to draw a pattern, we could share these during our live maths meeting at 1:45.

Thursday 4th of January

What is outside your window?

Have a look outside through any window in your house. Can you tell your grown up what you can see using lots of different adjectives? For example, "I can see the wet green grass, and our shiny car".

When you have used your words to describe what you can see, can you draw a picture? Think of what colours you will need.

Spicy challenge 🌶 Now that you have drawn your picture and used your words to describe, can you write down what you can see. You will have already built a sentence during the first part of this activity. Remember finger spaces, Fred fingers, and a full stop.

Friday 5th February

Make your own jigsaw

Can you use some cardboard or even paper to make your own jigsaw?

Start by drawing a picture and then stuck it to a piece of card (make sure you cover the whole thing in glue).

Turn your picture over and draw out a pattern of your puzzle pieces.

Cut out carefully.

You now have your own puzzle!
