Group 5 Story Time Wednesday 1st April
Hi everyone,
Today’s story is the Gruffalo. I don’t have a copy of this at home so this is a youtube link which will take you to someone else reading the story. I hope you enjoy it!

Tomorrow’s story choices are …
In this book we meet What-a-Mess, a small Afghan hound. He does have a proper name but he has forgotten it because everyone who sees him always says ‘What a Mess!’
Or …
In this story Slinky Malinki (a cat) goes out to meet his friends. Find out what they get up to and where they all settle down at the end of the night.
Let me know which one you would prefer by replying to this post.

Make your mental health a priority today – things are only getting harder the longer we spend at home.

Or try some sensory time!
Take care and keep safe x

Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is well and is having a good day. Here are your suggested Science activities for the day.
Group 3 – Please could you continue with activities listed on Science at home sheets that were included in your take home packs. Why not try the bodies activities and watch an episode or two of Operation Ouch.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b03cdr8s/operation-ouch
Let me know what you found out.
Groups 4 and 5 – Go outside and try to find 5 different flowers. Take photos or draw them. Try to find out what they are by asking your family or looking online.
Watch this video clip of different Scottish plants to see if any of them are the same as the ones you found.
Let me know how you got on.
Groups 6 and 7 – Try this pet shadow matching activity and as you do say whether the animals are mammals / amphibians / birds / reptiles or fish
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/go/resource/pets-shadow-matching-activity-tg-443
Then go outside and see what animals you can spot
If you found that easy, try to find out what the difference is between a vertebrate and an invertebrate and then try this power-point activity:
https://www.ecosystemforkids.com/vertebrates-and-invertebrates-powerpoint.html
Then make a list of 5 more vertebrates and invertebrates.
If you want a challenge, try to find out what an exoskeleton is and what animals like Octopi have instead of a spine.
Let me know how you get on.
Group 8 – Please could you continue with activities listed on Science sheets included in your take home packs. Why not try the senses activities and then have a go at learning this senses song:
Groups 9 and 11 – Please carry on with your topic work. Remember we talked about this in school and I described the activity in last week’s Science post. I would really like to know how you are getting on so please reply to this post to tell me something you have found out. I can then share the information with the rest of the group.
Group 10 – Please could you continue with activities listed on Science sheets included in your take home packs. Why not try the forces activities and then have a go at learning this forces song:
I hope you enjoy the activities. Please keep in touch with how you are getting on.

Making instruments at home
We’re going to make some musical instruments from things that you might find around the house.
You probably saw the video that Connie and I shared. Take a look at it again and remind yourself of the different ways of making sounds from household objects:
We can also find things in our recycling that we can use to make instruments. Get help from a grown-up in case there are any sharp objects.
Now watch this video and see what you can do to make an instrument to shake or tap.
What can you find that can make a good noise? Can you make a shaker or a rain stick? Or a type of drum? Ask a grown up to help you. Maybe you would like to decorate it as well.
You can then use these instruments any time and also in some of the Music activities. Have fun!
Looking at texture – rubbings
Using pencils or crayons can you create some rubbings from items you have in the house? Place the item underneath a sheet of paper and rub over the top.
Some good things to use are coins, keys and Lego. Leaves also give a good effect.
