I have put a link for these photos at the bottom of the blog. On print settings I selected certain pages and then on more settings I put 9 pages to a sheet to save ink/paper.
Gary and I looked at the photos and spent some time learning the names of each mini beast.
Gary had to find the correct mini beast when I said the name.
We also looked at the pictures and discussed the features of the mini beasts.
CHALLENGE: Can you name the different mini beasts pictured that you might find in your garden?
Gary sorted the pictures into mini beasts with wings and mini beasts without wings.
CHALLENGE: Can you sort the mini beasts into different groups?
How many different ways can you group the mini beasts?
CHALLENGE: Can you play pairs & Guess who with your adult?
All you need is a circle cut from red paper/ white paper coloured in red, pieces of paper with numbers 1-10 and little black paper circles.
CHALLENGE: Can you tell your adult which side has MORE spots?
All I used were pegs with sounds written on them and some black circles with sounds written on the sides.
Gary also said that next time he wanted me to time how quickly he could do it and he would try each day to beat his score!
CHALLENGE: Can you practise the sounds with your sound spider?
He got his recording table ready to take outside with him. First of all we talked about what day of the week it was. After singing the days of the week song together Gary worked out that it was Thursday today.
CHALLENGE: Can you discuss the day of the week and what the weather is like with your adult?
CHALLENGE: Can you count the mini beasts you see in the garden and record them in a table?
Gary made his own slimy snail trail on the floor.
All Gary used was water and a paint brush.
CHALLENGE: Can you write letters and your name in the snail slime?
CHALLENGE: Can you plant some flowers to attract some butterflies /bees?
