Week commencing 25th January 2021

Literacy

This week we are reading The Gruffalo’s Child by Julia Donaldson.

📖 As you listen to the story can you spot the parts that are the same as ‘The Gruffalo’ story we read last week?

✏️ Can you draw a picture of a fox 🦊, a nut 🌰, a log 🪵 and a twig and write a label for each?

The Gruffalo’s Child found lots of footprints in the snow...

In your garden or on your daily walk can you find any footprints 👣 🐾? The Nature Detective website has a good guide for prints you may find (click on picture below to take you to the website).
Put on your wellies and tread in a puddle and make wet footprints on the path.
Ask an adult to help you with foot painting 👣 🎨
Look at pictures of animal 🐾 footprints, can you have a go at drawing/painting or making them out of playdough.

Make your own Gruffalo’s Child, click on the photo to take you to the website.

On Purple Mash a 2Do has been set for you to draw your own Gruffalo taking a walk through the deep dark woods. Can you draw a Gruffalo’s child too?

This week we are continuing our train adventure 🚂! We will be practising some special train moves. We will be practising the following movements:

Stand on the spot and move your arms forwards and backwards keeping your body still and straight.
March on the spot lifting your knees up high.
See if you can march on the spot whilst moving your arms forwards and backwards at the same time!
Try to walk forwards and backwards in a straight line with your eyes open, then try it with your eyes closed!
