Wow it looks like you had a lovely time celebrating VE Day and enjoyed the bank holiday weekend. Don’t forget to send me any more pictures today of your making, creating and celebrations over the weekend. Here’s a few pictures to share with you. Also don’t forget your diary page for the school display (see Thursday 7th May blog post), there are a few below for you to have a look at.

Here’s a Cosmic Kids Yoga story to start the day. Have fun joining in and listening to the story.

Spider week

Following on from The very Hungry Caterpillar, we are going to start with a story by the same author Eric Carle. Listen and watch the story below.

Activity 1

Activity 1 – Can you make your own web? Have a look at the ideas above, you could draw your web using the pictures to help you then you could make your own 3D web. You could use cello tape, masking tape, string or ribbons.

Activity 2 –

Activity 2 – Now that you have drawn/made your web, can you make your own spider word web? This would look great drawn on paper, I have also added some ideas below and attached some resources if you can print and wish to. Choose the activity that suits your child.

FS1 – You could start with the sound ‘s’ for spider, then go through the letters s-p-i-d-e-r, how many words can you think of that begin with these sounds? Have a go at writing the sounds or copying the words your grown up writes.
sit, sat, sock – pit, pat, pin – igloo, in, it – dog, dig, dip etc.
FS2 – Can you write words to go around your web? You could use the sounds in ‘spider’ too or use your phase 3 phonics to practice writing words with our sounds.
Challenge – Can you then choose a word to write a sentence about a spider? Remember to use your phonics to sound out carefully.

Have a look at the blog this afternoon as we will have some spider maths fun later after lunch.
Purple Mash – I have set 3 spider web 2Do challenges for you to have a go at this week.

Enjoy web making and have a great day. Miss Mc.
