Literacy
Look in your lockdown packs at all the “s” sheets. This was one of the first sounds we learnt. These can be completed during literacy time this week. For the blog activity I would like you to go on a sound hunt. Find things that begin with “s” in your house. It could be a sock for example. You could even make some literacy stew – get a big pot and place some items inside the pot, have some fun mix the items using a wooden spoon. If you have some magnetic or play letters you can add them too. Pull each item out does it begin with the letter “s” (or you can chose a letter) if it does put it in one pile of it doesn’t put it into another pile. How many items came out of the stew that began with the chosen letter? Did you have fun?
I found a spoon, sock, story, stamps and a soldier in my house. What did you find?
Numeracy -Number work
This week is all about numbers. Get a grown up to write numbers to 10 on paper – you can help too. Then place the correct number of items on each of the pages – you could even use pegs and peg the correct number of pegs to the page just like we do in class with out giant numbers.
Health and Wellbeing – make a sandwich
This week your challenge is to help make a sandwich. You can choose a filling that you will like. Lay out all the ingredients you will need and remember to wash your hands before you start. Focus on spreading – making sure to be safe when using a knife.
What type of sandwich did you make? Did you eat it all?
Science – floating and sinking
This week have fun experimenting with floating and sinking. Fill the sink of a basin with water and place different objects in the water to see if the object floats at the top on the water or sinks to the bottom. You can even make a predictions sheet and have members of your family guess. Will it sink or float? The conduct the experiment and see who was correct.
Have fun and don’t forget to send pictures to kayleigh.hill@eastayrshire.org.uk. I can then post pictures to share with your friends.
