This week’s theme is 'Teddy Bear’s Picnic'

Friday

Good morning everyone! Today is the day of your teddy bear’s picnic!

Before you enjoy your picnic, you need to make sure that all of your favourite teddy bear’s and soft toys have a name tag.

Writing

Create a name tag for yourself and for each of your teddy bears. Write your name, and the names of your teddy bears, on a piece of paper. Cut them out and stick them to your clothes and your teddies using sellotape.

When the time comes (the time that you wrote on your invitation), you are ready to enjoy your picnic! If you have a picnic blanket (or any type of blanket) at home, lay it out in your garden or wherever you would like to have your picnic. Sit your teddy bears and soft toys on the picnic blanket.

Maths

Whilst you enjoy your picnic today, we would like you to think about sharing. Sharing is when we make things fair and equal.

Here is a video of Elmo and The Cookie Monster learning about sharing to watch as a starter - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTFJ9gjfAXg

As you can see they had 2 cookies and then shared them so they both had 1 each, which is fair.

Whilst you are enjoying your delicious picnic today, if you have any delicious snacks such as orange segments, grapes, apple slices, raisins or sweets, practise sharing them equally with one of your teddies. Remember to do one for you, one for me, one for you, one for me and so on… this way by only doing one at a time you will make sure it is equal and fair!

Challenge – Talk to your grownup about what half looks like. This is when we share between 2 people and they have exactly the same amount. After this, talk to your grownup about what quarters look like. This is when you share between 4 people and they have exactly the same amount.

Topic

 Whilst you are enjoying your picnic today, you may want to sing a few songs about teddy bears. Here are some below:

• Teddy Bear’s Picnic
• Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, Turn Around
• Round and Round the Garden, Like a Teddy Bear
• We’re Going on a Bear Hunt

We hope you enjoy your picnic today! Don’t forget to send us some pictures!

Parents/Carers – If you email a picture of your child having their picnic, please let us know on the email if you are happy for these pictures to go on the website or not.

Thursday

Maths

Today we are going to practise adding with your teddies or any other toys you would like to use to help you count. Use them to help you solve some number sentences. Here are some that you can try:

2 + 3 =

3 + 4 =

5 + 2 =

5 + 3 =

7 + 3 =

8 + 4 =

9 + 3 =

Challenge – Now try to write the completed number sentences down in you book.

Reading

Here are some examples you might want to read:

• In your exercise books or on a piece of paper, write down the foods that you have chosen.

Remember to:

• Think of the food
• Speak the word carefully
• Listen for the sounds you can hear

Write the sounds down carefully

Make sure you write your items down one below the other as a list. You may want to number each item for example:

Now keep your shopping list safe until you go shopping!
