Good morning!
Did you make a rainbow yesterday?
Here are some suggestions for today:
- Read ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’, find a version on YouTube https://youtu.be/0oUP2PFeOi8 or download the BBC Sounds app, go to ‘Children’s’ and listen to the story there.
- Find different bowls and spoons and decide which would be best for each bear. Compare the sizes and put them in order using language such as bigger/smallest/more/less.
- Set the table for the three bears/your family.
- Find other items around the house/garden that come in different sizes. Talk about their different properties and which item is best for a given job e.g. little bucket for sandcastles as it’s not too heavy but large bucket for cleaning as the mop needs to fit etc.
- Find some toys to represent the characters and act out the story.
- Use Lego/household items/blocks to build beds/chairs of different sizes for each bear.
- Find a space to do so safely and play a game of musical chairs (or bumps)
- Make some porridge together and try it with different toppings. Which did you like best? Could you draw/write the list of ingredients or the recipe?
- Write/act out your own story using your own name and your favourite animal or mystical creature e.g. Rosie and the Three Unicorns or Zia and the Three Tigers. Draw/paint pictures or make models to accompany your story.
- Find other stories about bears and read them together.
- Talk about who is in your family and how all families are different. What makes your family special? What do you like to do together? What is the same about people in your family and what is different?
- Make some bear toast.
Have a lovely day!
