George Saves The World By Lunchtime (George and Flora)

Product Information

Hello children. What wonderful weather we have been having. I do hope you have all had chance to go on a daily walk over the last week to enjoy the sunshine. I have just finished a week in school with our Keyworker children. We drew pastel spring flowers and did lots of gardening. We planted pumpkins, so hopefully when you are all in Reception next year we will have our very own to make pumpkin soup in the Autumn! Did any of you start to grow a plant at home? Do let me know.

The PowerPoint introduces the book, covering author, title, illustrator, blurb, pre-reading questions, post-reading questions. The PowerPoint also highlights possible unfamiliar vocabulary and offers an idea for a writing activity. Level 2 – naming characters, sequencing days of the week, initial sounds, a missing words activity, labelling pictures, sorting out muddled sentences, matching halves of sentences, a yes or no activity, sequencing pictures and writing captions for pictures. If you have access to the internet look up the lovely story by Eric Carle, 'The Hungry Caterpillar' Watch the life cycle from egg to caterpillar to cocoon to butterfly! Why not have a try at growing a sunflower plant beanstalk! If your grown ups can get hold of some seeds at the supermarket a pot and some compost (ordinary soil would do), plant your seed and watch it grow over the next few weeks. You could keep a diary drawing the different stages of growth.The Prime Areas are strengthened and applied in the next four areas which are known as the Specific Areas: Level 1 – identifying verbs, differentiating between fact and fiction, alliteration, using the past tense, counting syllables, writing questions, punctuating sentences, sequencing sentences, sequencing pictures and writing captions for pictures. Every Friday your child will receive a library book to take home and share with you. Please read this story with your child - sharing stories is important in developing your child's early reading skills. Your child needs to have their book bag in school. If they don't then unfortunately we are unable to provide your child with a book. Don't forget to keep singing Nursery Rhymes, clapping or tapping to the beat as you sing and keep reading and sharing stories.

Make a Handa's Surprise Wooden Spoon Puppet (see image below). Retell the story with your own puppets. All you need is a wooden spoon or two and some felt tip pens to draw on the faces and features of your character. You might want to get crafty and use materials to create the bodies...it's up to you! Good morning and welcome to another day of learning. Mrs Davies ison a course today and so our Phonics and Maths sessions are pre recorded. The links for these are placed within our daily guidance. UPDATE: We are aware of Mrs Davies' pre-recorded session not being able to be accessed. Please use the activities in addition guidance to continue your child's Maths Home Learning. I just wanted to let you know how much I miss you and am hoping that we get to see each other really soon. Whilst I have been at home with my family I have been doing lots of baking, did you see me on the staff video with my mixing bowl & rolling pin? I was making gingerbread men just like we did at school, but the real favourite in my house is carrot cake, yum.Hello children! I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe. Today would normally be the beginning of our Easter Holidays, so for the next couple of weeks the activities I am going to give you are mainly for fun and to help you to celebrate Easter with your families. Another week has gone by, we are all keeping safe and the sun is shining again! I look forward to the day we can all be together again. Our Keyworker children are going to follow the same learning as you, so do, do have a go, send me the pictures so we can share our learning with each other. Here are the suggested activities to do at home.
