Buenos dias!
We hope you had a restful weekend and continued to play safely outdoors. Did anyone take part in the City Nature Challenge? I wonder what creatures you found…
Here are today’s suggestions:
- Do you have any toy cars and other vehicles like trucks and diggers at home? Can you collect them and find out how many you have altogether? How could you sort them into groups? By size/colour/number of wheels???
- Make a pictogram with all your cars – just like Lewis did last week – and take a photo. Which type of car do you have the most/least of? Are you surprised?
- Do any of your cars need cleaned or repaired? Could you build a garage to fix them? Or a car wash in the garden? If you don’t have lots of cars perhaps you could create a repair shop for other toys.
- Attach a mark maker to the back of a car, go for a drive on a big piece of paper and see what happens! You could also try this with chalk outside.
5. Use Lego, recycling junk or other materials to build a car or other vehicle. What is it called? How fast can it travel? Does it need petrol, batteries or other fuel? What special features does it have? I think I would build a car that could wash itself.
6. Find a book about cars or other vehicles and read it together.
7. In the Disney films the Cars are all different and come to life. Can you draw your favourite character from the movie? Even better, can you create your own character, choosing what they look like and a name for them?
8. Listen to and join in with this song then talk to your family. Which vehicle did you like best? Why? Which ones have you seen/travelled on before? Who would use each of the different vehicles?
9. Create interesting roads for your cars!
10. When you are out walking look at all the different cars and describe what you see – shape, length, height, colour, maker’s badge. Which colour was the most popular? Rare? How many very dirty cars did you see? How many sparkly shiny ones?
11. Help your adult to clean and tidy the inside of your car or to wash the outside. How will you reach the very top?!
12. Ask an adult to show you all the hidden part of the car under the bonnet. What do they all do?
13. Join Jaime and Diggory the Dumptruck for yoga
14. Every week you will see and hear the rubbish being collected. Some of the vehicles will take items to be recycled. Do you know what this means? Help your adult to tidy and sort items for recycling, talking about the different materials.
