How much rain is there where you live?
Another challenge for you! How much rain is there where you live?
Collective Nouns
Yesterday I saw a gaggle of geese (and some goslings), a herd of cows and a flock of sheep. Can you think of any other names for groups of birds or animals?
Caterpillar and Butterfly
I spotted these while out walking this week – have you spotted any caterpillars or butterflies?
Can you find something beginning with the sound S?
If you listened to our story, Some Smug Slug, or even if you didn’t, you might like to try this challenge 😊
Paper Dolls
If you’ve read (or listened to) Julia Donaldson’s Paper Dolls story (our version available here) you might like to try making your own. What would you call your dolls?
There are some more templates for dolls here
Today’s Challenge
Today’s challenge relates to some of the animals you might be able to see in the fields around us as you go for your daily exercise!
Tadpoles
I haven’t spotted any tadpoles in my garden pond lately and think the newts might have devoured them all 😞 It was good therefore to spot these tadpoles while I was out walking. Have you spotted any?
