Hi everyone. Here are today’s activities for those self-isolating.

Maths

Can you remember what a repeated pattern is? Can you find three different examples of repeated patterns around your house and explain to an adult why it repeats? (Bathroom tiles or wallpaper may be quite good for this!) Can you make your own pattern? You may know a drawing app that you could use for this. You could also use household objects that you have plenty of, such as Lego bricks or pencil crayons. This is a fun game you could play where you need to use the right shape to complete the pattern: shape patterns

Today, we continued to rewrite the story of ‘Owl Babies’. How did the owlets feel when they woke up to find Mummy Owl gone? Where did they think she was? What did they decide to do? Please have a look at yesterday’s home learning post if you would like to watch the story again.

Write some sentences for this part of the story. This first sentence might help you:

One night they woke up and Mummy Owl was gone!

History/DT

We looked at different sorts of puppets today and talked about how puppets have changed over time. Have a read of the information on this website: puppets

Can you name three different types of puppets? How do they work?

Can you think of some ways that puppets may have changed over time? Watch a snippet of this old episode of Andy Pandy: Andy Pandy What do you think about this programme? How is it different from programmes today? Andy Pandy was a string puppet. Watch again and see if you can notice the strings helping Andy to move.

Now, have a watch of this clip from The Sooty Show.  Did you know that Sooty, Sweep and Soo are all puppets too?! What sort of puppet do you think they are? How are they moving?

Which show did you like best – Andy Pandy or The Sooty Show? Why? How were they different? Which one do you think is a more enjoyable show for children? Do you know any other children’s shows that have puppets in them?

Have a super day, everyone. x
