Hello – “Bonjour”

Life Skills

For the rest of the week I am setting you a challenge to see how many of these activities you can complete throughout the week. Let me know how you get on.

Literacy

Today we will be listening to the story of Dr Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham

There are lots of different ideas you can do with this story.

Upper and lower case letter matching – Can you make some green eggs from paper and on the back write the letters of the alphabet. The write one letter on a paper plate or a piece of paper and place in a bowl or on the ground spaced apart until you have all the letters you want. Decide for this game what letters you are focusing on – all the letters of the alphabet or just the SATPIN letters and maybe add in the letters of your name. Have the egg facing up (letters hidden). Use a fish slice or your hands to turn them over one at a time and match the to the same letter on the paper plates/bowls/tubs/paper by placing on top/in the tub/bowl. example found here https://thehomeschoolden.blogspot.com/2011/06/green-eggs-and-ham-preschool-activity.html
Letter sound and picture matching – an alternative to the above can be found here (printer required). Matching the picture to the sound. http://www.makinglearningfun.com/themepages/DrSeussGreenEggsHamBeginningSound.htm
Food Tasting – We all know our kids can be quite fussy eaters. Why not try the fun activity to get them to taste new foods and rate them i sent to you by email (would not let me upload to the blog).
Green eggs and ham cookies – You could try baking some green egg and ham inspired cookies. They look super yummy an easy to make. Maybe you can link this to the above food tasting activity. Get the recipe here. https://www.myjoyfilledlife.com/green-eggs-and-ham-cookies/

Movement

I think after all that work you deserve a movement break.

Wendy from the Pink class had this great idea and I thought I would share it with you. Can you make a colour wheel? Send me your pictures on here so we can share our learning with everyone at Pinewood.
