Maths – weight and capacity
If you have a blender at home then have a go at making this healthy Superhero Smoothie! Remember to use your prior learning about weight to use scales to weigh out the fruit, checking the correct number is showing. This recipe also requires you to measure out liquids. This can be done using a measuring jug where you must check if it fills up to the correct number and line shown on the side of the jug. You can also discuss what the language ‘empty, half full and full’ means as you pour your smoothie into your glass.
As part of healthy week and your previous learning about The Little Red Hen, have a go at baking your own bread rolls! This recipe also requires you to weigh out flour and measure out water. Spoons are used for measuring out ingredients for both of these recipes too! When dividing your dough into balls, think about halving the mixture again and again. How many rolls did you make? Can you share them out equally between your family? Remember to use a timer to measure the time for kneading and baking!
Whilst enjoying your smoothie and bread rolls, have a chat about where the different ingredients came from. Why is it important to eat and drink healthily?

Daily exercise helps to keep your body strong, brain active, mind happy and can aid better sleep! As mentioned on Monday, Healthy week usually involves a Wake Up Shake Up dance! Have a go at some of these dances to get your body moving and feeling energised…
Have a chat about how your bodies feel after exercise. Can you feel your heart beating faster? How does your temperature feel?
