Day 5
Starter Activity - Smoothie making
Today we are exploring fruit! And although this is a smoothie making activity I would really like you to focus on exploring the ingredients with your senses. What do they smell like? What do the feel like? Do they have a peel? What happens if you mix one ingredient with another? Do you like the way they taste? Can you help chop the fruit up?
Maybe you have just created the most delicious smoothie ever and will have it for breakfast every day! Who knows?

Activity 2 – My Thinking and problem solving – Shape
Good morning! Today we are going to sort shapes.
In your pack, you will find shape labels, together practise your cutting skill and cut them out.
Get your child to write the names of each shape next to the picture, and then place them on the floor with some space in between them.
Now challenge your child to find items around the house that could go under each shape.
I would love to see what you find so please take photos!
