Hello everyone!
Did you enjoy the weekend? the sun shone so I hope you were able to spend time outside? I did some gardening: some digging and moving very big stones and I also planted some seeds. I noticed how tiny the seeds were I was sowing in the trays. At lunch time I cut up an avocado and was amazed at the size of that seed stone!

- advacado seeds
Did you notice the different sizes of seeds? Kieran has sent me some photos of his learning and he had a space theme going on at home and he found and ordered some stones which he calls his moon rocks! Thank you for sending me your photos they make me smile!
Today’s story has a space theme and is called “Papa get the moon for me!” this is another Eric Carle book so I hope you enjoy it?
Can you take a circle piece of paper or perhaps a paper plate and cut it to create the different sizes of the moon? If you add string you could create your own moon mobile!
I thought that the bubble foam was such great fun and it reminded me that you could have ago at making some corn flour slime either in your outside space or if dull and chilly inside(mummy’s and daddy’s this slime sweeps up easily!) you need a big bowl, some corn flour and water and food colouring if you have it?
- add the corn flour to the bowl
- add water slowly
- keep mixing and adding water until the mixture looks like you can pick it up (if too stiff add more water/if too runny add more flour)
- add food colour if you have it
- Play with the slime
If you do not have any corn flour why not try a squirt of baby lotion on a tray and explore this with your fingers or your toys. This fun activity will develop all the muscles in your hands and arms and shoulders which you will need for writing!
Please continue to send pictures of your learning we love to see them and we always write back to you. Remember we have a 2 days left before Captain Tom is 100 years old so any happy pictures you have done please send them so we can print and add them to his card
Thank you
