It’s been another lovely week in Antarctica! Thank you so much for your support with keeping toys/special items at home and using Tapestry instead. It makes a big difference. Here are some things to ask your child this weekend:

• We have been learning about the story of Noah’s Ark this week. What sort of vehicle is an ark? 
• Why did Noah have to build an ark? 
• What did he take with him on his boat? 
• How long did it rain for? 

• We made our own boats this week to see if they could carry any animals across the water. What did you use to make yours? 
• Did your boat float? 
• In forest school we made self-portraits, can you remember what was special about the playdough that made it safe for the animals? (no salt) 
• What did you use to make your self-portrait? 
• We have been learning to add this week. When we add, do numbers get bigger or smaller? 

• Can you draw an add sign or make it with your fingers? 
• Can you draw an equals sign or make it with your fingers?
• In music we have been learning a song about vehicles. Can you remember any of the instruments we used to make vehicle sounds? (triangles for bus bells, giro’s for sports car) 
• Can you sing the chorus?
• How many emergency vehicles can you name? 
• What sounds have we learnt this week? Can you write any? (x,y,z,qu)
