Good morning. 

Let's start today with a few familiar songs:

Today is 'Taste-it Tuesday'.

As the weather is so sunny and warm at the moment I thought it might be a good time to make some frozen ice lollies or ice cubes.

• Make some fruit juice or use fresh juice and pour into a small plastic cup/ or yoghurt container.
• Next, place it carefully in the freezer.
• When it is beginning to freeze, insert a lolly stick (if you have them) or a reusable straw or teaspoon.
• Leave to freeze for 3-4 hours.

It might be easier to make fruit juice ice cubes with, or without, the sticks.

Enjoy!

Making the fruit lollies or ice cubes provides an excellent opportunity for Mini Maths- 

• measuring the amount of juice - more/ less
• filling the pot or cup - empty, a little bit more, half-full, full
• counting how many sticks/ cups/ bowls you will need
• counting how many lollies you have made
• sharing the ice cubes between children's cups so that it is fair

Language and Literacy/ Phonics 

We started our new topic on 'Transport' yesterday.

Look at the pictures below and ask your child to match the correct name to each of them.

Next, play a game of 'I spy...' emphasising the initial sound of the word.

Storytime
