Good morning everyone. 

Welcome to another new week.

This week we are going to be talking about 'Babies and Growing' and remembering how much you have grown since you were a baby.

Lets sing a few songs to start the day:

Language and Literacy

Talk about the baby pictures below. Try to encourage your child to tell you a sentence for you to repeat or write in your child's 'Busy Book'.

Tip: if your child says, "cry," you could encourage them to say a sentence by agreeing and extending what they have said.

For example, "yes, the baby is crying."

Today is 'Make-it Monday'.

you could make a fun 'peekaboo' mask to entertain a baby or someone else in your family.

Remember babies like bright colours.

Don't worry if you don't have card, you could use the inside of a cereal box.

Mini Maths

Try to introduce counting around the house today:

• counting as you climb the stairs
• counting when you are putting out cutlery for your family
• counting your socks as you put them on
• counting as you jump up and down
• counting slices of apple or biscuits to share with your family

Challenge- collect a group of objects (pencils or toys or socks or uncooked pasta shapes). Count out 10 objects.

Play a counting game- removing a few, then count how many are left.

Add a few more and count again. How many now?

You could make this a shopping game and pretend to buy objects from your 'shop'.
