Join in with this Bubbles ABC phonics song
Read the sentences below and decide if the answer is yes or no. You could even write yes and no on a piece of paper to answer with. Are they real or nonsense sentences? After you’ve read them you could have a go at writing your own silly sentences and playing with a member of your family.

Listen to this story called The Dot. We use this story a lot in school to reinforce always having a go. It will also be the inspiration for our art session today.
Once you’ve heard the story talk about what happened. How did Vashti feel at the beginning and the end of the story? How did the teacher help Vashti to believe in herself? What can this story teach us?
Now have a go at creating your own dot art. It can be as elaborate or as simple as you want it to be. Take inspiration from Vashti and see what you can create. Can you make a circle from lots of circles? Can you use different colours on one circle or lots of circles? Use different resources such as paint (see the homemade paint recipe previously featured on the blog), crayons, felt tips, chalks etc.
Have fun and remember there’s no wrong when it comes to art, it’s about being excited and forgetting what others think.
