Friday 5th June 2020

Literacy

Can you name some fruits that do not appear in "Handa’s Surprise?" These could be from the fruit skewer recipe. Use words to describe the fruit, e.g. juicy, round. Watch https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p011smwc

to learn about some African animals. Could you use this information to write a new page for the story? Rehearse the sentence out loud before attempting to write it independently, e.g. The rhino took the round green melon from the basket. You could extend this by folding a piece of paper into a small book to write your own, improved version of the story.

Maths

Can you fill Handa's basket with 10 fruits? You can use 2 oranges, 4 bananas, 6 apples or 8 strawberries. This fruit must stay in the groups.

**Challenge: Now how could you make you 20?
