Today Miss Marley accidentally sat on a mysterious box left on her chair. What could it be? Where did it come from? Who left it there?

The children opened the box to then find instructions inside. The children followed the instructions to find a bag of food.

The children had a great idea of using the ingredients to make a sandwich. They told Miss Marley how to make the sandwich to which Miss Marley did exactly that. Somehow the sandwich went a little wrong.

Can you have a go at giving your adult instructions on how to make a sandwich. I hope your sandwich turns out better than Miss Marley’s.

Discuss with the children that the people in the poster are clapping, playing music and holding up rainbows to say thank you to all the doctors, nurses and carers that have helped to look after all the people who have been poorly with coronavirus. People went outside their homes and clapped every Thursday evening during the first lockdown.

Think about: Did you join in with saying thank you to all the doctors and nurses? What did you do?

It has been in the news that the clap to say thank you has been brought back, but this time it is to say thank you to everyone who is helping during the coronavirus pandemic and is called the ‘Clap for Heroes’.
