Our new song asked mummy and daddy to google the tune.

How’s afraid of the big bad wolf?Who's afraid of the big bad wolfThe big bad wolf, the big bad wolfWho's afraid of the big bad wolfTra la la la laLong ago there were three pigsLittle handsome piggy wigsFor the big, bad the very big, very bad wolfThey did not give three figsNumber one was very gayAnd he built his house with hayWith a hey hey toot he blew on his fluteAnd he played around all dayNow number two was fond of jigsAnd so he built his house with twigsHey, diddle diddle he played on his fiddleAnd danced with all the pigsNumber three said, "Nix on tricksI shall build my house with bricks"He had no chance to sing or dance'Cause work and play don't mix!Ha, ha, ha, the two little do little pigsJust winked and laughed ah, wooWho's afraid of the big bad wolfThe big bad wolf, the big bad wolfWho's afraid of the big bad wolfTra la la la laCame the day when fate did frownAnd a wolf blew into townWith a gruff huff puff, he puffed just enoughAnd the hay and twig house fell down.No one left but number threeTo save that piglet familySo when they knocked, he fast unlockedAnd said come in with meNow they all were safe insideBut the bricks hurt wolf's prideSo, he slid down the chimney and oh, by JimineyIn a pot on the fire he divedOh, oh, oh, the three little free little pigsJust winked and laughed, ah, wooWho's afraid of the big bad wolfThe big bad wolf, the big bad wolfWho's afraid of the big bad wolfTra la la la la

1. Colouring in this picture carefully,

2. Make a paper plate dragon.

3. Make Dairy free pancakes.

Ingredients

2 bananas, peeled (approx. 160g/5oz peeled weight) 120g/4½oz plain flour 1 tsp baking powder 120ml/4¼fl oz oat milk (or other plant-based milk) 3 tsp coconut or vegetable oil

To serve (optional)

handful blueberries 1 banana, sliced maple syrup (or honey if you're not vegan), to drizzle dollop coconut yoghurt

Method1. Roughly chop the bananas and add to a blender with the flour, baking powder and oat milk.

Blend until smooth. Alternatively, mash the banana thoroughly on a plate, then transfer to a bowl and whisk in the other ingredients until smooth.

2. Heat a teaspoon of the oil in a small frying pan over a medium–high heat and spoon the mixture into the pan to make two pancakes, each about 10cm/4in in diameter – you will need about a tablespoon of mixture per pancake. Cook for around 2 minutes on each side, or until golden-brown, adding more oil if needed, then keep warm. Repeat until you have made all the pancakes.

3. To serve, divide the pancakes between two plates and top with the banana, blueberries, maple syrup and coconut yoghurt. Enjoy while still warm.

4. Paint a picture of The St. George flag

Always supervise small children when using the cheese grater and oven.

Make sure children always wear thick oven gloves when transferring food to and from the oven. It may be best for an adult to do this step.

To grate cheese, hold the handle of the grater with one hand and then push the block of cheese downwards over the grater ‘teeth’. Always keep your fingers away from the grater ‘teeth’, as they are very sharp. Children should always be supervised while grating.

You can buy tins that have ring pulls, and can be opened without a tin opener, which may be easier for children. The lid of a tin is very sharp, so watch those fingers!

Read, then trace the letters of the alphabet, use a pencil.Can you find the letters of your name?

Life cycle of a sunflower.

Can you draw the pictures that show how the sunflower grows?

Maybe you can group something at home?Cut out and stick or pin together the pig. Don’t forget to colour

him in.

Cut carefully and if you don’t have split pins, stick the pieces together.

When you went outside for your exercise, Did you see any bugs?Can you name these? try drawing them and then you can colour them in.

Paint a picture of your favourite bug.

Dear children and families,

Thank you for all your kind wishes, photos and artwork. By the look of things, the children are having a splendid time.Playgroup is rather dull without them. I hope we will soon be back together.

All the staff send their very best wishes and look forward to the ‘Reunion party!!!’ Take care, keep healthy and happy.In friendship,Barbara
