Today we are going to focus on another rhyme. As Miss Inman stated last week rhyme is really important to your child’s overall  language development. This week’s rhyme is “Mary had a little lamb”

Click on the link above and read the rhyme. Ask some key questions. What was a fleece and where was it on the lambs body? What else could it be as white as? Why couldn’t the lamb go to school? Why did the lamb wait for Mary all day?

Practise the rhyme and it would be lovely to see you performing it for us to watch

Why not join Felix for some oral blending and segmenting

A few weeks ago the children were asked to complete some home learning about a particular interest which was very successful and the children seemed to enjoy it.

This week is book week so we are asking you to choose your favourite story and do a piece of project learning about it. Have a chat with your child about their favourite book and why they like it. Is it funny? Do they like the characters in the story?

Have a look at the world book day website. There are lots of things to explore on here.

I bet Mary loved snuggling up with her lamb on her knee and having him next to her.

Start by singing the bean bag song. You could choose your favourite teddy to put in the different positions in the song. Sing to the tune of “If your happy and you know it”.

Put Your Beanbag Song

After singing the song play the game. Look at the picture of a farmyard and answer the position questions.

One of them is “peace at last”. Poor Mr Bear I felt so sorry for him. All he wanted was a good night’s sleep.

Click on the link to take you to the song “Mary had a little lamb”. Join in with the singing and then try to make some actions to go with the rhyme. Let’s see who can come up with the most original actions. Maybe you could post on dojo.

As a follow on I thought it would be good fun to re-write the rhyme with our own name in it and your pet if you have one or a pet that you would like to have.

Here is my rhyme

Mrs Ross had a little cat, little cat, little cat

Mrs Ross had a little cat. It’s fur was soft and warm.

See what you can come up with and maybe video your version for us to watch.

As an extra challenge have a little go at writing the words for each picture

Phase One Odd One Out Rhyming Cards

It is time to continue with your project learning. There has been some lovely work put on dojo so I can see that some of you are having a go at producing drawings and you have talked to your grown up about why it is your favourite story.

Maybe you could draw a picture of something from the beginning, middle and end of the story that you have chosen.

Today we are going to continue with our work about positions but first as a little warm up I would like you to have a go at the counting I spy

Think back to Tuesday when we did our first bit of work about positions.

After completing this click on activities and scroll down to “Where is it?”. This  will take you to an image of some shelves. The children will be asked some questions about different things on the shelves.
