carefully cut bits of paper into different shapes to make up your picture of
a dragon and then glue them into place. Think about which shape you will use
for the head and tail. Can you make your dragon look like he is breathing
fire?
Task: Can you create
a paper dragon using different shapes?

Remind yourself of the days
of the week song that we used to sing in Year 1 to help you remember their
order.
Have a listen to the
voice clips of the days of the week and practise saying them. You could print
out the word cards and stick them on the fridge to help you practise.
Now have a go at the
worksheet. Practise saying the words, cut them out, order them and then think
about what you might do on each day.
Home/Life Skills
This week how
about helping a grown up do some tidying in the garden. Do you know which
plants are flowers or shrubs and which ones are weeds?
Can you name
any common weeds?
Could you help
to mow the grass or collect the cuttings?
What do we
need to remember when working in the garden?
Think about safety. We
must wash our hands after and never eat anything we find in the garden unless
a grown up says it is safe.
We need to handle tools
carefully and wear protective gloves if plants are prickly.
Task: Can you draw your
favourite plant or weed from your garden? Some weeds are just as pretty as
flowers! Use shading and colours to add detail.
