Challenge time

How long does it take you?

Ask a grown-up to time you and see how long it takes you to do these.

Make a table so that you can record your times. (Year 2 you should try and draw your own table, use your ruler to help and the lines in your book)

It took me 15 seconds to find something red, my son's t-shirt on his bedroom floor!

Amazing Australia

Today we are learning about a different animal that can be found in Australia, the koala.

Below are a couple of videos to watch about koalas and a koala song.

Then there are some different koala activities to choose from.

Year 2         (Year 1 you can do this also,  if you would like) 

Everyday you are going to take a page in your exercise book and make a fact file about the animal of the day. You need to have a title , a picture of the animal with some labels and at least 5 facts. You could use bullet points for each fact or write it as a paragraph of writing. 

You could include the animal's habitat , what it looks like , what it eats , what animal group it belongs to, what its baby are like etc.

Look below to see how to draw a koala and the labels that you could use.

Make an origami koala face

Origami is the art of paper folding , making something from a flat piece of paper with no cutting or gluing!

Click on the link to see how to make a koala face , ou will need an adult to help you.

(probably more suitable for the older children)

These don't have to be printed.

You could ask a grown-up do draw the outline of a koala and create a pattern like the one on the colouring sheet and then colour it in to make a colcourful koala.

You can use the life cycle pictures to draw your own life cycle , or ask an adult to draw pictures for you to cut and stick in the correct order.
