F.S. Blog

Watch the video below and see if you can add with a pirate. There are lots of number adding challenges – (adults – you will need to pause the video before they reveal the answer) see if you can count all the pirate objects to find the answer – you could write the answer or the whole number sentence. There will be more pirate maths challenges tomorrow.

I have loved seeing your house drawings and photographs. Well done for adding labels and those that wrote a sentence telling me about your house. There was also some fantastic telescopes created -great patterns and creativeness.

Pirate week

This week we are going to be making and creating lots of pirate themed objects. All of these will come in handy for ‘Pirate day’ on Friday. On Friday let’s have a pirate dress up day. Start having a think about what you might wear, please don’t buy or order anything new – this could be jeans and a stripy T-shirt. Most of the pirate accessories we are going to be making and creating this week.

This morning we are going to hear the beginning of the story again and a little bit more, this time read by me ? please excuse the first video attempt (I will keep practicing).

There are 2 activities today – you could choose 1 or have a go at both of them.
Activity 1 –

If you can’t find anything to make your pirate ship with don’t worry – why not have a go at drawing and designing your own pirate ship on paper – think about what materials would be best if you were to make one.

Activity 2 –

Extra phonics challenge – In the story so far there are a few rhyming words – did you spot any of them? Tell an adult or see if you can copy them from the book and write them down to show me.

If the link doesn’t work above watch the story again – this time please only watch up to 2 minutes 9 seconds.

At lunch time I will post a maths addition challenge if you fancy trying some Maths this afternoon.
I look forward to seeing your creations today.
Have a great day.

I have seen some fantastic house drawings, pictures and amazing telescopes so far. I also made my telescope this morning – can you describe my repeating pattern?

Why not watch this tea time number song and have a sing song before tea.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. There was some fantastic Supertato work and activities completed last week – take a look back at the blog to see all your fantastic activities. You have also been busy on Purple Mash exploring some of the paint projects and well done to those that completed the 2Do veggie challenge.

This week we are going to have a ‘Pirates’ week ?‍☠️

To start today have a read and listen to the story ‘The Night Pirates’ but parents please only read/listen up to 1 minute 34 seconds on the video then pause and stop the video. I had wanted to read this to you all but all my books are at school in the classroom and unfortunately I can’t access them.

At the beginning of this story someone steals the front of Tom’s house. We find out that it’s PIRATES! Not only pirates but little girl pirates.
There are 2 activities today, you could complete both or just choose 1 to do.

Activity 1 – What do all pirates need to be able to keep a look out? A telescope ? of course. Can you make your own telescope? You could use a kitchen or toilet roll tube or paper or card rolled up.

Activity 2 – The pirates steal the front of Tom’s house. ? Can you draw the front of your house? Go outside find a comfortable seat in front of your house and see if you can draw it. What else can you see at the front of your house? Can you count the windows? The pipes? Anything that’s unusual?

FS1 tell a grown up what you can see and they can add labels to your picture. Can you see anything that begins with the ‘s’, ‘a’ or ‘t’ sounds?
FS2 Can you label your picture? Use your phonics to add labels. You could write a sentence to tell me about your house. What colour your front door is or how many windows are on the front of your house.

You could also take pictures on a tablet, iPad or phone and add your labels using the pic collage app.

Purple Mash
I will be setting different 2Do’s throughout this week so remember to check each day what the Purple Mash 2Do is. Today’s is designing your own pirate.

Have a great day – I look forward to seeing some of your activities later.
