Daily Challenges: Thursday 14th May
Who will you thank today? or what have you got to be thankful for?
Hello Team Spurrier...
We hope you had a lovely day of home learning yesterday and it is Thursday today. That means that we clap for the key workers at 8pm. who has been doing this so far? It makes me feel like there is a real sense of community :) Who could you thank today? What/who are you thankful for? Take a minute to reflect and think about this :) Maybe you could make a poster or picture to hold up during the clap? Or put in your window? I have attached some colouring and display lettering below that you may want to use or cut out.
Thank you to those of you who have sent their rainbow photos so far. Remember it is a picture of you in your school uniform, holding a rainbow. we will put them together and make our class photo for the year and remember the times we did have together.

Continue the pattern learning from yesterday but exploring with shapes...
Use the shape pattern photos attached. Encourage children to say each pattern aloud (it’s a square, triangle pattern) and to create patterns around the edge of shapes as well as in straight lines.
Show children an AB and similar AAB pattern. What do they notice? What is the same and what is different?
Challenge: Can children make their own shape patterns. Ask children to describe their patterns. Can someone continue the patterns they have made?
Patterns could be made inside or outdoors.

Topic: Growth

Main: Mini beast hunt
We have been learning about mini beasts and where to find them. Recap: What is a mini beast? Where does it live? what is the special name for their homes? Today we are going to go on a mini beast hunt!
Extension: Go on a walk with your family or look in your back garden for mini beasts. Where do you think you might find them? Use the checklist attached below to see what you might find. Remember, do not take the mini beast out of their habitat. You can pick it up gently to look at it but please put it back. Maybe take some photos to post on the Padlet of what you found.

Martyn Harvey, the author of The Boy with The Sauce Pan Hat, has very kindly given us special access to his poems, before they are released to the general public!
Day three's videos are below:
Remember, the competition will be formally launched on Friday, so sit back, put your creative hats on and enjoy the videos throughout the week.
