Week Ten 15.06.20
Read Oliver’s Fruit Salad to your child. This book is about a little boy whose grandfather grows fruit. Oliver believes that his grandfather’s fruit is the best; however, he will never eat any fruit. In the book, Oliver helps make a colourful fruit salad and through this experience Oliver finds that fruit is “YUMMY!”
Over the week you could keep a diary of all the healthy food you eat. You could draw pictures or write a list. Remember to put how many of each fruit/veg that you eat as well. What foods should we eat a lot of? This is a great time to look at the colour codes on the food packaging. Count each group to see which has the most and which has the least.
Art:
Can you design and make your own fruit pots
There was once an artist called Arcimboldo who painted different fruit and vegetables to make faces!
Create a self-portrait of yourself by drawing fruit as your features. For example, you could use grapes for eyes and a banana for your nose! What fruit or veg could you use for your hair?
You can draw, paint or create a collage by cutting out pictures of food from magazines or printed from the internet.
Understanding the World: Growing seeds.
Have you got any seeds at home that you could grow? What will you need to do to care for your seeds? Maybe you could even make a cress egg head. If you don’t have any seeds maybe you could do an experiment of what happens when you keep a potato on your windowsill for a week and another one in a dark place. What do you think will happen to the potatoes?
