Looking forward to seeing the Afternoon children next week.

Linking to our Father’s Day theme I would like you to draw 8 ties.

We are now going make the ties stripey but there is a challenge, you have to follow the pattern.

Number 1 is the completed pattern
Can you recognise the pattern? I wonder if you can finish off the pattern on the other ties.

Once you have finished the pattern on Mrs Birchall’s ties you can come up with your own pattern with 3 different colours.

Send in your work – contactnursery@holbrook.coventry.sch.uk

Today’s Math’s activity is linked to this week’s story My Mum and Dad Make Me Laugh. It is a spotty activity today, which Mum would like.

The activity is to make a beautiful, spotty butterfly. The learning is about counting the spots to make them the same number on both sides of the butterfly’s body. If you can try and make the pattern the same too that would be really clever. Like this:

You will need:

A butterfly

Some coloured spots (pom poms, plastic counters, sequins or coloured paper cut into circles)

Use the pom poms to make a pattern on the butterfly’s wings. Each time you put a pom pom on one side, you need to put the same type of pom pom on the other side. Like this:

When you have finished making your pattern count the pom poms to see if the number is the same on each side. On my pom pom butterfly I have 7 pom poms on each side and I have used the same colours in each place.

I did the same with sequins too. Like this:

This time I used 11 sequins on each side, the same colours in the same places.

Have a try at making your spotty patterns on the butterfly and please send us your photos. Don’t forget to count !
