foot
book
look

hook
cook
Hold the sentence. E.g Look I can read a book. Look I can cook. or Look I can read a book and cook.
Number – Counting backwards
Quick quiz -Re-visit shapes. Ask you child to point to a square, circle, triangle, rectangle and tell you something about the shape. E.g it has 3 sides.
Practise counting forwards and backwards to 20.
Can we count backwards quickly from 7/9/10 to 0 ?
From 5-3 and 8-1
Now 25-23 and 55-53
and then
28-21 and 58-51
Repeat until they have got it.
Try counting back one from 20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90. e.g 20, 19 30, 29
-My favourite activity for this is the backward dot to dot if this is available. You can easily make your own. Just complete a dot to dot sheet but backwards by starting at the largest number. Look at the patterns of numbers going backwards.
Maths seeds is also available.
TOPIC
African animals
Look at the PowerPoint or research what different animals they have in Africa.
Have a go at a mosaic college of an animal. If you have a magazine or newspaper these make a great effect if you cut them up into little squares/ sort them into colours and off you go.
If this is not available you might just want to choose your favourite animal and look at the shapes involved to draw it and have a go.
Underneath write your sentence.
My African animal is a ………... It has a trunk. Its has 4 legs. It has thick skin.
Good work.
On Friday we are looking at the production of chocolate. I will put up some simple chocolate recipes tomorrow in case you want to get the ingredients so you can make something.
Thank -you for your support.

LITERACY
Recap on the story and note which animal takes which fruit.
Today we are going to use the 00 sound to write a few sentences at least 3 with the 00 sound as in 'took'
Talk about capital letters, finger spaces, and full stops.
e.g
The monkey took the banana.
Or
The monkey took the soft yellow banana. Whichever is right for your child.
The elephant took the red mango.
Or
The elephant took the ripe red mango.
Don't worry if they spell orange as orinj or elephant as elefant but I would like to see 'sweet' 'round' 'green' words spelt correctly as they should be familiar with the ee and ou sounds. Gently remind them.
Draw a picture to finish off your favourite part of the story.
Break
NUMBER Ordinal numbers
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zhsspg8/articles/zn4ynrd
See if your child can see any numbers as you go on your daily walk?
Ask the question which colour car is 3rd in the line or point to the 2nd tree.
At home on your stairs/steps ask your child to place their teddy on the 4th step 10th step etc. Then you place the teddy on a step and your child has to tell you which step it is on.
Mathseeds is always available and here are a few practical ideas.
TOPIC
St Georges Day if you want to find out more about this day click the link below.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/lets-celebrate-st-georges-day
Today is the start of Ramadan which is part of the Islamic faith. During this month Muslims won't eat or drink between dawn and sunset. This is called fasting.
Fasting is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, which form the basis of how Muslims live their lives. The other four pillars are faith, prayer,charity and making the pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca. (find it on a map) Remind your child that Amir's mummy came into school and talked to the children about the faith.
Here is a short clip to watch.

Here is a short quiz about Ramadan.

LITERACY
Act out a story or sing the song from Wednesday. You should be familiar with this now.
Use your instruments to tap out the beat.
Have a go at filling in a story map. This is just the sequence of events that happen in the story.
Use the mathematical language to order the story;
1st was the monkey and banana, 2nd Ostrich and guava, 3rd Zebra and the orange, 4th Elephant,and the mango, 5th Giraffe and the pineapple, 6th Antelope and the avocado, 7th Parrot and the passion fruit.
You can draw your own map on a piece of paper and label what happens on the way.
Here is a map you can copy or print off if this is available to you.
NUMBER
As they are getting dressed your child can say in what order they are putting on their clothes. e.g
First I will put on my T shirt. 2nd I put on my jumper. etc.
You can sequence any event or routine in the day.
1st exercise, 2nd phonics, 3rd break, 4th number, 5th lunch.....
Outside hold races and give prizes. Create a track. You could play yourself or use objects such as cars, teddies during imaginative play.
If you make a podium and medals this can be fun.
TOPIC
If you haven't already done so, make a fruit salad and talk about where the fruit has come from and what else can grow in this country.
Thank-you for all your support. Everything you do really helps.
Have a good weekend.
