Morning Story Time
Mrs Papillo reads a book by Mem Fox called Early One Morning. What have you eaten for breakfast this morning? Have you ever visited a farm? You can tell me about somewhere you once visited by making a book. Recently, two of the children from our class went to Mount Gambier. You could make a book about something you did one day – a visit to the dentist, a walk through the park, a car drive with you family…
English and Art
My pet Tommy
I would like to show you a picture of me and my little dog Tommy. He is a Tenterfield Terrier, is about 30cm tall, likes food (especially chicken), chases birds and enjoys having a doggy bath in the backyard. Tommy has loved having all his family at home during the lockdown. Can you share a picture of your pet? If you do not have a pet, please share a picture of your favourite toy. You can draw a picture or take a photo. Mrs Papillo will also draw a picture of Tommy and label it, just like a diagram.
Now I have added some labels to my picture of Tommy.
Revising the letter Aa
After you have viewed the videos please practise writing the letter a in your Home Learning books and come up with a list of words containing the letter a. I bet you can write at least 2 sentences as well. Happy writing!
Maths and counting
Here is Tommy with his toys, can you count his toys? How many toys do you have at home? Go and count them and record the number of toys you have in you Home Learning Book.
Tommy has 9 toys altogether.
Next, you can use the picture below to make some of your own caterpillars. You can make the caterpillars as long as you like and then write the number next to each one when they are finished. You can use pencils or paints to make your caterpillars.
BRAIN BREAK ACTIVITY

Hop on the other leg 20 times.

Balance on the other leg for 5 seconds with your arms out wide. Hold very still.
Today’s suggested daily fitness activity its involves yoga. As Cosmic Kids Blog identifies, Yoga has many benefits for children including:
Today’s yoga adventure is called ‘Betsy the Banana’. A kids yoga adventure about Betsy, a banana, who has 3 wishes. What dreams does Betsy have? What dreams do you have? What do you wish for others? What do you wish for planet Earth and the other animals?
Mindfulness Activity: Draw a banana and write your three wishes on it.
Today we are going to listen to a story called ‘Hairy Maclary and Zachary Quack’ by Lynley Dodd. Please click on the link for an introduction by Mrs Papillo. Happy reading!
Hairy Maclary & Zachary Quack intro
Here is a great website for you to explore with an adult:
https://kids.nationalgeographic.com
You may like to choose an animal from the videos, watch it and try to remember 3 facts about that animal that you can tell an adult. Try drawing the animal and the place it lives (its habitat).
Come Read With Me
Choose one of you readers to read out loud to an adult. What is your favourite part? Why?
Now, draw you favourite part from your reader. You can write some labels for the picture you draw or have a try at writing a sentence.
The page below is from a book I have just finished reading about crabs. The crab is stuck and if he does not get out in time he may get eaten by a large bird.
Prayer for the end of day:
Have a lovely weekend and keep safe.
