Healthy living – eating
Read about the ‘eat well plate’ and how different foods help us to maintain a healthy diet.
Discussion: How can you eat a healthy diet? Look at the list of foods on page 9 and decide if you should eat ‘lots, some or little’ of these foods. Remember to explain why.
Activity: Draw a plate of food that you think would be a healthy lunch. Explain why. You could even make this meal for your lunch!
→Need more of a challenge? Can you write why your meal is a balanced, healthy meal?
My World Kitchen
Choose a video and watch of one of the talented young cooks in their own kitchen. Each dish celebrates their heritage by cooking some very special recipes. You will discover where these dishes and ingredients come from along the way.
Why not have a go at either cooking one of the dishes you see or cooking your favourite dish? If you have a go at cooking, let us know what you cooked and why.

Where’s my Teddy?
We can’t believe that this is our final week of home learning activities. Look out for something special arriving in the post this week and remember to check back on Friday for a special video.
We’re going to finish our home learning activities with ‘Where’s My Teddy?’ written by Jez Alborough.
We often celebrate our learning and the end of our time in Nursery with a Teddy Bear’s picnic party. Sadly, this isn’t going to be possible this year but we didn’t want to miss out on all of the fun. So, this week, we’d love it if you could have a Teddy Bear’s picnic at home (inside or outside depending on the weather!) and send us your photos by Thursday.
Remember to email your photos to scholesf1@spherefederation.org
We’ll share all of your photographs on Friday. We thought that this would be a lovely way to end the year – to fill our Class News Page with all of your happy, smiling faces.
Where’s My Teddy
- Did you enjoy the story?
- How do you think Eddy felt when he lost his teddy?
- Do you have a favourite teddy bear or soft toy? Talk to your family members about their favourite toys as children. They may still have an old favourite teddy hidden away somewhere that they can show you.
Here are some activities that you can try that are linked to the story.
Mark Making – Draw or cut out an outline of a bear. Ask your child to add eyes, a nose and a mouth to the bears face. You could encourage them to draw some clothes on the bear or a bow tie and decorate it with patterns. There are also some free printable pencil control activity sheets to download on Twinkl.
Music – Sing along at home to this well-known family favourite all about a teddy bear’s picnic.
Cooking – Find a recipe to bake something to eat at your Teddy Bear’s Picnic this week. There are lots of recipe ideas on the I Can Cook website. Some bears like to eat honey; you might like to make a honey sandwich! Ask your child to help butter the bread and add their choice of sandwich filling. With help, they can cut their sandwiches carefully into squares or triangles.
Understanding the World – Do you like honey? If you’ve never tried it before, have a try. What does it taste like? Where does honey come from? Maddie Moate knows all about where honey comes from because her parents are bee keepers. Watch these short clips to find out about how bees make honey and how Maddie harvests honey from her bee hives.
Mathematics
1) Top Marks has a teddy bear counting game that children really enjoy playing at Nursery. We help children to recognise the number so that they know how many cupcakes to feed the bear.
2) Ask your child to choose some soft toys/teddies to invite to the picnic. How many have they chosen? How many plates and cups will they need?
Watch – Teddy bears are obviously very popular as there are lots of programmes available to watch all about bears! Here’s an episode from Postman Pat about a Special ‘teddy’ Delivery or you can find out what happens in the town of Biggleton when too many bears arrive for the picnic.
