Look at the activity below. Can you spot the words? Have a go at writing some of the other words too. It is important to keep practising writing too.
FS1 Take your mark making outside – if the weather allows! Grab a large roll of paper (leftover wallpaper works well), some paint and a variety of accessories – anything goes – and get mark making!
English
Today you are going to map the story. Can you remember how you drew a story map of the Three Little Pigs with a beginning, middle and end? Well, today’s task is exactly the same but this time using the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff.

Mathematics
FS2 Today we look at subtraction again. Watch the video and then try some of the activities. Don’t forget to use your equipment. Try not to guess, check to make sure you are correct and explain to someone else how you know. Don’t forget to count back from the first number rather than count how many are left.

Follow this link to Purple Mash to complete subtraction within 20. You will need to log in to Purple Mash first. Your log in was stuck in your yellow Home/School book. If you can’t find it please let me know. You will need to have your tens frames, number track or manipulatives ready to help work them out.

FS1 Have a look through your toy vehicles. Do any of them have 4 wheels? Count carefully. Do any of them have a different number of wheels?
Knowledge and Understanding of the World: The World
In the story, The Three Billy Goats Gruff went across the bridge to get to the delicious green grass. That is where they met the troll! I wonder if they could have got across the river in a different way at a different place and then they wouldn’t have met the troll. Could they have gone across the river on a raft? Your task today is to build a raft to take the Three Billy Goats gruff across the river. Experiment with different materials and see what you think will make the best raft. Test it out and let me know what you find out. Did it work? I wonder if you can explain why……
I can’t wait to see what you build. Enjoy your day and have fun!
