Under the videos are four activities with a focus on Literacy, Maths, Science and Understanding the World.
Story
Film
Can you label the parts of the Rainbow Fish?
You can then colour your own rainbow fish choosing different colours for the scales.
Have a go at a colour hunt finding items for each colour around your house!
This is a great science experiment - watch as the water causes the colours to rise up the tissue to make a rainbow!
Can you count how many of each different colour scales there are?
18/05/20 - This week the topic is 'The Gingerbread Man'
Underneath the video of the story are 2 examples of maths activities we would do following on from the story. A character counting activity checking children's understanding of number and motor skills to write and a size activity which focuses on the word 'same' while still including the size terms of 'big, small and medium'
Under these are Colourful Semantics resources which we would also use in class which are related to the story and work on our literacy and communication skills giving children the opportunity to create their own sentences about characters from the story or to help them retell the story. They can be as sensible or silly as you want, it's there to develop language and encourage writing too if they can copy out their sentence.
Choose one word from each colour to make your sentence.
Jamie's sentence is "The gingerbread man jumped out of the oven in the kitchen."
Maths - Number
Can the Hippos count how many of the characters are on each row?
Could we practice writing our numbers down?
Maths - Shape, Space and Measure
Can the Hippos find the one that is the same size as the circled one on each row?
A little hint could be "Find the same, it's the biggest one!"
Colourful Semantics - Literacy - Reading and Writing
Greedy Cat's Breakfast with Jamie
11/05/20 - This week, watch 'The Tiger Who Came To Tea'!
