Numeracy
Shape
Recap the names of shapes. What is the difference between a square and a rectangle? Play the feely box game. (See yesterday's planning).
All Children- Draw/paint a shape picture.
Most Children- Find some shapes. For e.g.-picture frame, book, serviette etc. and sort them by sides. 4 sides and more, less than 4 sides. Which shape have you collected the most?
Challenge- Encourage your child to choose a shape and tell you about this shape. For e.g. This shape is a rectangle as it has 2 short sides, 2 long sides, it has 4 points and we use it on our table. (Table cloth).
Topic
Rationing food during the war.
A typical ration for 1 adult was 50g of butter, 50g cheese, tea 50g and 3 pints of milk. (There was a bit more but the numbers were too big). Can you support your child to weigh some of the ingredients and look carefully at the scales? Maybe make some cakes ready for a garden party on Friday.
Creative
Continue from yesterday. I would love to see your finished creations.
Make a hat to wear on VE Day out of newspaper. See instructions on https://bletchleypark.org.uk

Bees hum their day's away, visiting flowers and making honey. As you hum, think of what makes you happy!
Wherever you are-----walking, working, playing or resting, breathe in fully and as you breathe out, hum like a bee.
Make sure your face and lips are soft so you can feel the vibration.
Repeat for as long as you like and experiment humming from high to low, notice the differences.
Weekly Welsh
Following on from last week-Think about the foods you would like to eat to celebrate VE Day.
Beth wyt ti'n hoffi? (What would you like?).
Answer dw i'n hoffi……… (I like….)
Make a list of the foods. Draw them and write the names of food. Try to use initial sounds or part of the word.
