Maths

Today we will be practicing our counting.  Start by watching this numberblocks video

Then see the below for some counting activities and today’s lesson.

Since it has been such nice weather, why not make some ice lollies to keep you cool.  A fruit salad would also be lovely in this weather!  If you make any of these send me a picture.

Sign of the Day

Remember to watch Lorna’s sign of the day!  What will we learn today?

 

Art

Lets make some pictures using lego and paint to print!  Use lots of different colours  to brighten up everyone’s day.  What can you make?  If you don’t have lego what else could you use to print?  THIS SHOULD BE A LOT OF FUN!! 

some ideas

  • sponges (cut into shapes)
  • pasta
  • marbles
  • apples/potatoes

Go outside and enjoy the sunshine.  Why not have a picnic lunch outside?  While you’re outside why not have a a go at drawing some animals using the sun and the shadows and tracing the outline?
