Here are a few activites for today

This is one of my favourite songs about a caterpillar, it explains the life cycle really well.

Maths: National Oak Academy: Investigating Counting in Pairs

P4C

P4C means 'Philosophy for Children' and is "An enquiry based approach to open up children's learning through the exploration of ideas" (Philosopy for Children Website).

What it means is an opportunity for children to develop and explore ideas and their speaking and listening skills.

Once we are in the Summer term in Reception we usually reduce our 'Show and Tell' slots and develop P4C in our 'talk time' sessions.

In Reception children are given an open ended question or statement and given the opportuntiy to discuss what they think and feel about it.

There are no right or wrong answers and children are encourage to be respectful of the opinions and views of others.

To start with answers may be very short or your child may say 'I don't know' but as they have the opportunity to do it more and more than the will become more confident.

This might be an activity you do together with the family, especially if you have older siblings.

Question cards

In the home learning pack that you may have collected last week were some question cards which you can also try as and when.

Pom pom race track

Nature Wand

This looks good to make if you have some wool or string. The rest depends on what you can collect.

Have a great day,
