The North Wind Doth Blow, and we shall have snow, and what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
He'll sit in a barn and keep himself warm and hide his head under his wing, poor thing!
This week we have been continuing to think about the weather, especially the cold windy weather we have been experiencing this week. We have made streamers and kites to investigate what happens when the wind blows on them
Making snowmen
We have been counting spots and matching them to dots on our ladybirds, making sure there is one spot to each dot.
We also split 6 gems between 3 plates to find out all the different ways we could separate them, remembering that there are still 6 each time and that the total does not change.
We read the poem The North Wind Doth Blow and decided that the birds would be hungry while the weather is so cold, so we made some bird cakes and will put them in the trees later this week.
We read the book Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson.
We used our imaginations to make our own magic potions in our outdoor area.
We thought about what our magic potions would do. Here are some of the children's ideas:
"Make dinosaurs" "Make me into a fairy" "Turn you into a frog"
If you would like to help your child at home, you could try some of the phonic games that were sent home with your children or the maths games from the sheet you received. Remember to keep them short and only try when your child is in the mood.
Next week we will be focusing on traditional fairy tales starting with Goldilocks.
