Hi everyone,
I am so pleased the lovely weather is back and I hope you enjoyed the long weekend. As it is a short week, I have included a few new activities but also want you to go back to the previous weeks and revise your keywords and sounds. Please get outside this week and enjoy the sunny weather as I think it has to be really warm by the end of the week!!
Miss you all,
Mrs Blaney x
Literacy
*I haven’t included any new words this week to allow others time to catch up and for some of you to revise. Remember you can use the blank board games to practice the words. Maybe you could play bingo this week or use chalk to draw a hopscotch board in your garden and say the words as you land on a square. Here is a reminder of the words you already have:

*I have attached a link to a story that my wee boy enjoys listening to. Click on the link and listen.
I would like you to discuss the story with someone in your house and think about all the colours your hair has been over the past weeks (my hair has been a lot of these colours!!) Can you choose 2 colours that you feel your hair has been and write about both of those colours and why you have felt this way. Draw a picture to match what you have written about.
*Remember the David Walliams website has stories you can listen to. Why not listen to a story while you chill out in the sun?

Maths
As the weather is going to be lovely this week, I have included some activities that you can complete outside.
*Click on the link below and you will see a copy of a scavenger hunt that you can use in your garden or when on your walk. You do not need to print this; you could ask an adult to copy it on to paper for you.
*When I was a wee girl, I loved to make daisy chains. Can you make your own daisy chains? Here are a few ideas of how you could use them:
-Make chains of set numbers of daisies; 10 daisies and count how many groups of 10 you can make
-Make a chain as long as you can and use it to measure objects in your garden. Can you find things that are longer, shorter or the same length as your daisy chain.
-Challenge a member of your family and see who can make the longest daisy chain in a set amount of time.
-You could use the chains to make numbers and letters
Symmetry outside. Watch the video below and have a go at making your own symmetrical pictures. The video shows using leaves and twigs but you could have a go at making a picture using any objects from your home or garden. (Adults, remember Art Attack??*)
