Summer 2010
This term we will be
finding out where our food comes from (not just “from the shops”.
Why don’t
you…
Get
a paper plate and make your favourite dinner by drawing, making models with
paper and glue or by cutting our pictures from magazines.
Talk to your child about
healthy eating. Do they have fruit or vegetables with every meal? Maybe, visit
a fruit and veg shop and let your child choose something they haven’t tasted
before.
We will be visiting Ash
End Farm in July (we’ll send a letter soon) and will be meeting lots of
different animals.
Why don’t
you…
Decorate an egg, or give
it a funny face. To make hair you could cut off the top of the shell, put some
cotton wool in side, sprinkle on some cress seeds, water them and watch them
grow!
Does your child know what baby animals are called?
What questions can your child think of which we will be able to find the
answers to when we visit the farm?
e.g.
What do cows eat? How big is a chicken?
