Monday 29th June

Good morning
I trust that you are all well and looking forward to a new week.  Please say hello on the blog or through email if you haven't been in touch for a while. Here are today's activities.  Have fun and keep sending through your fabulous work.

Warm up – Go noodle

Activity 1
English: Our new story this week is called ‘Handa’s surprise’


Encourage children to look at the cover and to talk about the characters and what they think is happening. Have they seen food being carried like this? Then read through the story, pausing to talk about the pictures and what will happen next. What would they like to happen in the end?
Join in As you read and reread the book, encourage children to join in where they can. Their confidence and enjoyment will build as you revisit the book together and children become more familiar with the story and story language.
Talk about the story Talk together about which part of the story children like best and why. What do they know that Handa doesn’t? How would they feel if they discovered all their fruit had gone? Why do they think the book is called ‘Handa’s Surprise’? Is there more than one reason?
Activity 2
Maths: Solving word problems

Activity 3

Art: Draw a fruit

 Children can choose one of the fruits Handa carries to her friend and draw it in as much detail as possible, choosing colours carefully and noticing  patterns and textures. Children can peel or cut into the fruit to see the shapes and seeds. Afterwards they can eat it!

Reading and phonics: Read your level book in the garden.
