(If you don’t have any instruments, you could make some by filling empty pots and bottles with rice or pasta and hitting empty tins with spoons). Ask a grown up to make up a simple rhythm with one of the instruments. (One or two beats). Can you copy the rhythm? You can then swap over and make a rhythm for the adult to copy. Continue this making the rhythm more difficult each time! Hide the instruments behind a screen or a large book. Can you guess which instrument is being played? Sing Hickory Dickory Dock and play your favourite percussion instrument along to the beat of the song. In mathematics we are going to be busy sorting different objects and talking about how many we have. Can you help a grown up sort and match some mixed up pairs of socks. Once they have been sorted you can count together how many socks and how many pairs altogether. Find 4 or 5 different lids (bottle, pringles, plastic containers).

Friday 17th July Hi there everyone! I hope you have enjoyed the story ‘The 3 Little Pigs’ this week! Today’s challenges Just in case the Big Bad Wolf ever comes back, could you make a wolf trap? Use some of your construction sets or junk boxes and see if you can make a trap. How does it work? What should we do with the Big Bad Wolf when we have caught him? In our story, the Pig rolled down a hill in a barrel to avoid the Wolf. A barrel is a cylinder shape. Can you find some objects that might be good at rolling down a hill and some objects that night not be good at rolling down a hill? Use a plank of wood or a large book to make a hill and test your objects to see if they roll or not. Which shape worked the best? Why do you think that? There is a song called Huff Puff which you can learn to sing. I have attached the words in a photo below and they are sung to the Hokey Cokey! Remember, have fun, be kind and helpful! I’d love to see and hear how you get on at Nursery@horncastleprimary.co.uk You can also contact me on this email if you have any questions or concerns. I hope you have a lovely weekend. Mrs Craigs x Thursday 16th July Hi there everyone! Keep sending in your super pictures! I love seeing what you have being learning and creating at home! Today’s challenges Go to Education City and you will find a folder called sounds. Inside this folder, there are a couple of games to practise listening for sounds. If you need help with your log in, then please email me. After the pigs got rid of the Big Bad Wolf, they all decided to live together. However, they needed a bigger house. Can you use your bricks or Lego to build the pigs a bigger house? Which is your favourite character from the story? You could make a mask of that character. Using the sheets below, print out the mask (or draw a mask if you don’t have a printer). You can use collage, paint or coloured pens to decorate the mask (try to use the right colour). Cut out your mask and ask a grown-up to help you with the eyes. You can tie elastic or string onto the mask so you can wear it. Remember, have fun, be kind and helpful!
