Learning for Thursday 7th May

Ko  Rāpere tenei ra.  Today is Thursday 7th May Do what you can...enjoy your learning today!

To begin each day, let’s start with the karakia  Can you read our karakia with me… Activity 1:  Bugs, Bugs, Bugs… Rhonda shared this great activity with me... Bug Hunt Going on a Bug Hunt! Today's challenge is to go on a bug hunt. Go outside and have a think where you might find a bug. What kind of bug do you think you might find - a spider, a cricket, a praying mantis? When you have found a bug, draw your best quality work picture of it. Then record yourself telling me all the cool things about your bug - How many legs does it have? What colour is it? How many eyes does it have? What do you think it eats? I can't wait to see your bugs, I'm going to try and find one too!

Activity 2:  Rats, By Gavin Bishop    Listen to the story ‘Rats’, by Gavin Bishop…  Retell the story to someone in your bubble… I really like the illustrations in this story.   My favourite part is when the illustrator (person who  did the pictures) draws the rats hiding in places,  a bit like an ‘I Spy’ book… Can you draw a picture of the rats hiding in all sorts of places in your picture...

Activity 3:  Number recognition:  Warm up... I know you are all familiar with the numbers 0-10...can you remember how to write them?   Writing Numbers 0-10 - this link gives you instructions of how to write numbers.  Have a go… See if you can do a whole page of numbers:  Here are the first 3... 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 22222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222 33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333
