Ask your child to describe the shape to you. Ask them to look around your home/garden - Can you find another shape like this? How is it the same? Can you find a different shape? How is it different? Can you sort them into groups of the same? Why did you put these shapes together? How is this set different to this one? Is there another way we can sort them? Can you build a tower?

In school we use a yellow pen and the children trace over the top using a pencil – don’t be afraid to help them by holding their writing hand and guiding them – remember repetition is the key (practice makes perfect!) Multisensory writing- they could copy their name using lots of things you have around your home.

What are minibeasts? BBC – bitesize bbc.co.uk KS1Activity 1 – Mini beast home learning challengesFor every activity completed two dojos will be rewarded Activity 2 – Create A Bug Hotel Hi children, My name is Bertie Beetle. I live in a lovely garden under some smooth pebbles. Lots of my minibeast friends live in the garden too – my best friends are Billy Bee, Alberta Ant, Loretta Ladybird, Sammy Snail and Catrina Caterpillar. We all live in different places in the garden but yesterday, it was very windy, and our houses were ruined! I am writing to ask for your help. Please can you make us some new places to live? We need safe places to keep us warm and safe. You can find the things you need outside. You could use twigs, mud, soil, leaves, pebbles, fir cones and straw. My friends would like some flowers and plants too please. Thank you for your help.We are looking forward to seeing our new bug hotel! From Bertie Beetle MethodChoose either an area in your outdoor area or a wooden/plastic/tin container and place it on the ground.If the container hasn’t already got holes in, make some holes in the bottom. That will create drainage and let minibeasts crawl in.Fill the container with compost and fertile soil.Use your resources to build various places for minibeasts to live.Woodlice and beetles will like wood/sticks and if stacked, the minibeasts can crawl through them.Plants will attract the crawling bugs like caterpillars, snails and spiders.Butterflies and bees will like nectar-rich flowering plants.It’s up to you how much you put in your bug hotel.Observe the hotel over time and see which minibeasts it attracts.Can you find out which areas each kind of minibeast like best?Remember to take photos!Examples of bug hotels: Activity 3 – Become A Bug Detective Go on a mini-beast hunt. Explore the garden or go to a local park. Look closely around the plants and flowers, under rocks, stones and leaves, amongst the grass or by a pond. Use a magnifying glass to look closely. Count legs, wings etc. Can you name the mini-beasts that you find?How many mini beasts did you find? Can you record your findings on a table or by making a list. Which is you favourite mini-beast and why? Check out this tick sheet from the Woodland Trust - Did you spot all these mini-beasts? Creative Tasks Select and activity or two from the list and have fun appreciating these amazing little creatures by making images or models of them. Printing activities – The humble potato makes a great printing block, good for using up a tired spud that has passed its best. Ladybird potato stampsThis craft is ideal for small children.Cut a potato in half and poke a stick into the rounded side – this twig handle will be easier to hold when the potato stamp gets slippery.Help your child dip the potato in red paint and stamp it onto the paper. Let it dry.Paint a black line down the middle of the red splodge and add a black head at one end.To add spots, dip your child’s finger in the black paint and dab some dots on the body.Finally, add two eyes to the head.Look out for ladybirds. Keep your eyes peeled for their bright, shiny bodies. How manyspots can you count? Caterpillar potato stampsThe same technique is ideal for making potato print caterpillars. You may wish to use 2 or three different colours to create a repeating pattern. Cut one or more potatoes in half. Press a stick into the back to make a handle.Choose two or three different colours. Help your child to dip into the paint and stamp it into the paper.Choose a different colour and repeat. Print in a line, changing colours to make a pattern. (try not to overlap too much!). Your caterpillar maybe be ‘loopy’ or straight. You decide.Let it dry. Decide which end is the ‘head’ and make a ‘face’ using your finger or pens if you prefer. If you don’t feel like painting. Maybe you would like to try some peg art. Spiders have 8 legs, so you will need only 4 pipe cleaners, a wooden peg, some pens and googly eyes (optional you can draw them.)Colour your peg using felt pens. Open it and push pipe cleaners in between, so that legs look even. Bend the ends slightly, and make some space between each leg. Attach or draw on eyes. You can use the same technique to make a dragonfly, by adding wings instead of pipe cleaner legs. Wings may be made of paper, tissue, folded paper (like a mini fan), or material like ribbon or net. If you still have some pipe cleaners handy, you might want to add to your creature collection with some of these. Twig craft worms.Simple and fun. You need a twig, pipe cleaner and pom pom (or ball of paper or foil), a little glue, googly eyes (optional) Twist the pipe cleaner around the twig. Glue on the pop pom for a head. Stick on googly eyes. Hope you enjoy crafting! Literacy gamesGames and activities1. Rhyming gamesListen to and join in with rhyming stories, like Julia Donaldson’s The Gruffalo.Play rhyming games.Make silly rhyming jokes. For example: What do you call a smelly elephant? A smellyphant! What do you call an elephant watching TV? A tellyphant!2. Phonic gamesPlay snap or bingo with letters and sounds. Write letters on pieces of papers or cards, to create homemade flashcards. Make two for each letter. Use them to play snap. You could also create a bingo card with eight boxes – each one containing a letter. Put the flashcards into a pile, facing down and take it in turns to be the bingo caller.Play phonics fishing! Use homemade letter flashcards, add a paperclip to each, tie a magnet to some string and a stick and ask your child to ‘fish’ for a particular sound.Play ‘I spy’ games (for example, ‘I spy something beginning with a…’, using the letter sound) when you are out and about. For help with letter sounds, take a look at our sound chart.Activity: Vowel soundsPractise phonics by matching the pictures to the vowel sounds.Activity: Phonics guidanceLearn how to say all the phonics sounds (phonemes) and letters.3. Memory gamesPlay ‘Kim’s game’. Put a few items on a tray (for example, a crayon, an apple, a building brick, a toy car). Then look, cover, remember and check!Talk about, photograph or write out some ‘events’ from something you have done together – can your child remember the correct order?Go shopping – try to remember the list together!4. Listening gamesPlay games such as ‘Simon says’ – party games are often good ways to practice speaking, listening, and memory skills, without them even noticing!Listen to music and talk about the instruments being played – find pictures on the internet together.5. Action gamesMake a puppet theatre with cardboard boxes or a towel over a chair and encourage your child to make up or retell a story to you (or any willing family members!).Have lots of fun dressing up with clothes and props at home so that your child can dress up as a character and act out favourite stories. You can find lots of cheap props and clothes for dressing up in charity shops.Play games such as ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf?’, but write the times down for them to read instead of saying them.6. Tactile gamesUse magnetic letters to spell names and simple words on the fridge or radiator.Use modelling clay to make your child’s name or simple words like mum.Enjoy jigsaws together and chat about finding the right pieces!7. Screen gamesWatch TV programmes linked to books and then read the books afterwards. Little Princess, Katie Morag, and Charlie and Lola are good places to start.
