I always try to watch at least some of the live cams.  They are great!

Talking about great have a look at these great photographs of some professional cooking!

The sun is shining, let’s get outside straight away! Let’s go on a Minibeast Hunt.

I have an ant hotel in Animal Crossing.  Have you played Animal Crossing?

Time for some maths.  Today we are looking at money. Sorting coins is a great money activity to to keep your kids entertained! It’s so simple and an easy early learning activity.

There are two ways to do this: no-prep and low-prep. Take your pick.

The no-prep way: Dump out all your change on the table and have kids sort it.

The low-prep way: On a large piece of paper draw circles and label them with coin values and names. Kids sort coins accordingly. (See photo above)

There are even various ways to sort coins!

• By coin value. Pennies, 5p, 10p etc.
• By coin size. Line them up according to size.
• By colour. Pennies in one pile, everything else in another.
• By picture. Show your child the way not all coins have the same picture on the front.
• By country. If you have foreign coins, add some into the mix!
• By the date. A really interesting way to sort coins!

Depending on how hands-on you want to be you can turn the coin sorting activity into a discussion about coin values. For example, show them how 5 pennies  make a 5p.  Ten pennies make a 10p.  Two 5ps make a 10p and so on.

Reading Time!

It’s Friday so it is reflection time
