Pictionary:

Play a game of pictionary. Adults can draw something and you have to write the word as quickly as possible on your own piece of paper. Can you guess the picture before your grown-up finishes drawing? This week try to focus on words with 1 or more diagraphs.  Choose your own pictures to draw or choose from the list below; 

rain  torch   teepee  beard  shark  sheep  chain  book

Literacy 

We have been thinking lots about growing over the last few weeks. This week we would like you to start thinking about the animals that live and grow up on a farm. Today we would like you to have a go at writing down what you already know about animals on a farm such as pigs are big, cows eat grass. Have a think and discuss with your grown-ups about what animals might live on a farm, why do you think the farmer keeps that animal on a farm. What is the animal’s name when it is a baby for example baby cows are called calves. 

Here is a lovely story about animals on a farm! 

What is your favourite animal from the farm? 

I have noticed that there are some new born lambs around some of the fields around the Poundbury area. See if you can spot them on your daily walk!
