Literacy

What bug does the caterpillar meet?
How many shoes does the bug need?
What shoes does the caterpillar give?
Why does the bug need the shoes?
Remember your capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. Year 1 try and use adjectives in your sentences.
Maths

For today’s starter have a go at the Shape Patterns game on top marks selecting level 3.

Story Time
Today’s story is After The Storm.
Mrs Wilkes has also recorded a couple of stories for you all to enjoy, Hairy Maclary’s Bone and Slinky Malinki.
Challenge
Have a go at playing Kim’s Game. You will need a tray, several items and a tea towel.
Place all of the items onto the tray so that you can see them all. Have a good look at what’s on the tray. Cover the tray with a tea towel and try to remember all of the items, you could write a list draw them or tell a member of your family.
You can also play with somebody else. Place the items on the tray, the first person needs to close their eyes whilst the second person removes one of the items. The first person then has to look at the tray and work out which item was removed.
This game is a great way to develop memory skills which helps with the retention of knowledge.
