Phonics

Remember to keep practising sounds and story green words and speedy green words. You don’t have to do all at once, just the ones you need the most practise with.

Day 3 Handwriting You’ve got this!

Literacy

Today we are looking at the lifecycle of the butterfly. Watch the video or read the story again and talk about what happens throughout the week. Look at your worksheet below and talk with your adult about first, second, then and last. Write a short sentence in each box, e.g. first - a little egg on a leaf, second – becomes a caterpillar, then – builds a cocoon, last – a beautiful butterfly. Prompt your child to come up with their own sentence.

Maths

Day 3 The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Read through the PowerPoint for different activities. There is a variety of activities that can be completed in relation to the story. You don’t have to complete them all. Chose the ones you think are easier to complete at home.

UtW/PD/EAD/PSED

Illustrate the butterfly’s life-cycle using modelling dough/ clay. Model how to start with an egg shaped piece of dough on a leaf.  Model making a caterpillar hatching from an egg by pulling the dough into a long caterpillar shape. Model creating a cocoon shape and finally, mould an adult butterfly. Encourage and model how to create symmetrical patterns using a variety of tools onto the butterfly’s wings.
