Ladybirds Home Learning Week beginning 13.07.20

The Seaside /Under The sea

Carrying on with our Julia Donaldson theme and The Sea, I have decided to look at the book Tiddler.

Watch the Story online@

• Read the book, and encourage children to repeat parts that they know. Tiddler is great for this as it

repeats “Tiddler? Tiddler? Tiddler’s late!”

When reading the book, ask questions throughout, encouraging the children to answer with ‘because’.

Literacy:

• Complete the Under the Sea pencil Control worksheets (attached)

• Cut out the sea pictures and create an underwater scene (attached)

• Also practice pencil control using the sheet (attached)

We also tried to make predictions of what might happen next. When meeting the various sea creatures,

identify the initial sounds of the words.

Design your own sea creature and talk about the different features they have.

Maths:

Begin to focus on matching the amounts to numerals.

This activity was so simple. Cut out fish shapes (I found a template on Google and used that) and write

the numerals on one fish and the corresponding number of dots on another. Shuffle the fish and then

ask your child to match them back up. We started with numerals 1-5. For older children, you could start

introducing the number words too.

Complete the find colour and count twinkle sheet (attached)

Sing some sea songs:

Create: An octopus.

First, create the eight legs by making cuts 1/3 of the way up to make four legs. Then cut each of those in

half to make eight legs.

Use a pen to curl up the legs of your octopus.

Paint your first colour onto your toilet roll tube octopus.

Whilst the first layer of paint is still wet, use a sponge to gently press the second colour onto the top half

of the tube. Build the colour so that the top is darker. Finally, decorate your little friend! We painted the

bottom gold and then added sequins.
