Thursday 

Happy sunny Thursday nursery children!

I hope you have a lovely day. If you are spending time outside, do stay safe in the sun on this very hot and sunny day.

If you do any of today's tasks, don't forget to share it on our Twitter page at https://twitter.com/ and tag @StMariesKirkby so I can see!

Take care,

Phonics 

• Practise saying and writing some of the sounds that we have already looked at  (m,a,s,d, t, i, n, p, g, o, c, k, u, b, f, e, l, h, r, j, v, y, w, z, qu, x, sh, th, ch ng and nk)

• Play, ‘Pick a Picture’ here:https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/PictureMatch.html. You can orally sound out the word for your child for them to blend together if they are not yet at the stage of reading independently.

Maths

• Ask your child to use Lego, blocks or cardboard boxes to build a tower that is the same height as them, taller than them and shorter than them. 

Writing

• Write an invitation to the alien to invite them to your very own space party
• Your child can draw out or write their own menu for an alien. What does an alien eat? Moon-burgers, star biscuits or fruit rockets? Search here for more ideas: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/lars0508/space-party-foods/

Have a Space Themed Party/Picnic

● Support your child to use tin foil to create shiny space suits for their teddies and dolls. They could have a space-themed teddy bear’s picnic afterwards where they share the biscuits in the next activity!

● Make yummy star biscuits to share at the picnic. Look here: http://saucepankids.com/recipe/simple-shortbread-biscuits/to find instructions on how to support your child in making simple star biscuits. They could share them at their space themed teddy bear’s picnic. Share photographs of your space themed picnic on Twitter.
