Hello my lovely Lion Class!

For the rest of this week, you will be staying at home with your parents and carers. Last week in school, we have been reading a new  story called: 'The Gruffalo's Child'. I have added a variety of different teaching and learning activities related to this story in this section for you to complete over the next few days. Hope you enjoy them!

It would be great if your parents/carers could email me some photos of you completing these tasks.

Shake your sillies out!

Each day, before you begin your remote learning, listen to this fun song called: ‘Shake your sillies out!’ Have a little dance with your child and encourage them to move their arms/hands and legs.

The Gruffalo's Child - Read by Alan Mandel

Let your child listen to this story? Do they recognise the familiar characters? e.g. Gruffalo, mouse, owl, fox, snake

Look closely at the characters in the story. Show your child each picture in turn. Name the animal and try and make the sound that animal would make e.g. owl - hooting, gruffalo - growling, mouse - squeaking etc. Encourage your child to name the animal and imitate the sound it makes.

The Gruffalo's Child Music - Deep Dark Woods

Let your child listen to this song.

Can you create a foot print of the Gruffalo and the Gruffalo’s Child? Maybe your parent or carer could create the Gruffalo with their foot and you can create the Gruffalo’s child. Hope you enjoy this creative activity!

This week is 'Children's Mental Health Week 2021'. The theme is 'Express Yourself' Please support your child in doing something they really enjoy at home. Please take some photos of your child and email me them.

Identifying Characters

In your child's remote learning pack this week - there are some pictures of the characters. Show your child these characters one by one – naming each one in turn. Encourage your child to repeat the character's name. Encourage your child to make the sound of each animal e.g. mouse - squeak, snake - hiss, owl - hooting, Gruffalo - growling etc.

From a choice of two characters – Can your child find a specific character using their eyes?

E.g. Can you find the Gruffalo?

Can you find the Gruffalo's child?

Can you find the snake?

Can you find the big, bad mouse?

Can you find the fox?

Can you find the owl?

Can you find the cave?

Science - Look back through the PowerPoint of 'The Gruffalo's Child'. Look closely at the illustrations - what other animals can you see hiding in the forest? If possible, go out for a little walk to the park or to the woods, what animals can you see?
