I have added some useful website to our Acorn's Class Page, please have a look.

ACTIVITY ONE - MONDAY

Press on the link to the BBC Teach page. Listen to the rhyme '5 Little Monkeys'. Ask your child to find 5 of the same object in your house. I had a look around my house and I found 5 spoons in my kitchen. Ask your child to count the objects. Can they draw 5 monkeys doing something else that they shouldn't be doing?

Have a look at the Numberblocks website. Look for the episodes that go from number 1 - number 5.

ACTIVITY TWO - TUESDAY

Make a model! Make a model of a bed for the monkeys using materials you can recycle. You could use an old tissue box or a cereal box.

ACTIVITY THREE - WEDNESDAY

Help your child to draw and cut around 5 monkeys. Put all 5 monkeys in the bed you created yesterday. 

ACTIVITY FOUR - THURSDAY

Now it's time to do some moving!

Ask your child to jump 5 times.

Can they hop 5 times? Change legs.

Can they stand on one foot for the count of 5? Change feet and repeat.

Can they bend down and touch their toes 5 times?

Can they reach up and touch the ceiling on tip-toes 5 times?

ACTIVITY FIVE - FRIDAY

Go to the BBC Teach page and find another song/rhyme about the number 5. Ask your child to sing along and using their fingers on one hand, count down from 5 to 1. You might want to choose '5 Little Ducks' or '5 Little Men in a Flying Saucer'. Have fun!
