PE Challenge: Start by running on the spot. A grown-up will shout out different commands e.g. ‘faster’ or ‘slower’. Listen to the command and change your speed. Make sure you do this carefully and with an adult watching!
Catch Me if You Can –
Find an area to play in and set up some safe spots e.g. a slide in the park or a tree in the woods. Try to run between the different safe spots in the area without a grown-up catching you. How many safe spots can you get to?
Collect the Coins –
With a grown-up, make some pretend pirate coins with numbers 1-10 written on them. Your grown-up will spread out the coins and use different objects as obstacles e.g. soft toys, pillows, old boxes. Next, run around the obstacle course, trying to collect the numbered coins in the correct order.

Literacy
Literacy/Mark-Making Activities for the Week:
Continuing with name recognition and encouraging them to trace/write their name independently!
Story of the Week – The Three Little Pigs – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGFjzp8wl1E
Encourage your child to draw a picture of the house they think was made of the best material. Encourage them to explain why they think this.
Ask them if they have seen any houses made of this material before? Encourage them to talk about the story – What was the material that the first house was made from? What happened to the big bad wolf? Why did the three little pigs need their own houses?
If you go on a daily walk, look at the materials that houses are made off! What material is the door made of? What material are the windows made of?
Continue to draw, draw, draw! I want to see some amazing pictures drawn by Nursery! When you have done a fantastic drawing, your parent or carer can send a photograph of it for me to see!
