Hold the sentence: Park the car.
Number –today the children will make a number game.
Get out your board games.
Look at the patterns of numbers. You might just want to have a snake of squares 1-20 with special messages if they land on it like, miss a go, go backwards 3 jumps, have another go. You could make an alternative snakes and ladders?
If you like to be creative you might even decide to swap your games with your penpal.
Topic
African patterns are just amazing. They are influenced by their surroundings.
Watch the powerpoint (if available) then go outside and see if you can find patterns in nature in your own garden.
You can then do a pen and ink picture as the one below using patterns you have seen or something creative.
You might add colour or make another mosaic with the patterns in mind.
Thank-you for your photos and support.

Hold the sentence. E.g Look I can read a book. Look I can cook. or Look I can read a book and cook.
Number – Counting backwards
Quick quiz -Re-visit shapes. Ask you child to point to a square, circle, triangle, rectangle and tell you something about the shape. E.g it has 3 sides.
Practise counting forwards and backwards to 20.
Can we count backwards quickly from 7/9/10 to 0 ?
From 5-3 and 8-1
Now 25-23 and 55-53
and then
28-21 and 58-51
Repeat until they have got it.
Try counting back one from 20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90. e.g 20, 19 30, 29
-My favourite activity for this is the backward dot to dot if this is available. You can easily make your own. Just complete a dot to dot sheet but backwards by starting at the largest number. Look at the patterns of numbers going backwards.
Maths seeds is also available.
TOPIC
African animals
Look at the PowerPoint or research what different animals they have in Africa.
Have a go at a mosaic college of an animal. If you have a magazine or newspaper these make a great effect if you cut them up into little squares/ sort them into colours and off you go.
If this is not available you might just want to choose your favourite animal and look at the shapes involved to draw it and have a go.
Underneath write your sentence.
My African animal is a ………... It has a trunk. Its has 4 legs. It has thick skin.
Good work.
On Friday we are looking at the production of chocolate. I will put up some simple chocolate recipes tomorrow in case you want to get the ingredients so you can make something.
Thank -you for your support.

Below is a link to a clip of a child talking about living in Kenya.
What is daily life like in urban Kenya?
A child living on the outskirts of Nairobi is followed through a typical school day. Nana describes her day, from breakfast time through to the evening.
