Creative Curriculum: Tell the children that Lima wants to do something for her family to say thank you to them for helping her feel better. Tell the children she wants to make, maybe, something to eat (something obviously really simple for reception children such as toast, bagels). Within this, children can be talking about how they could say thank you to someone for being nice and caring towards them. Limas Red Hot Chilli is a story that I have just covered this week in a Year 1 English class. The story is about a young girl, Lima, who is looking for something to eat, however her mother warns her not to eat the red hot chilli. Lima searches the kitchen for something to eat and finds a variety of food that are either to hard, to difficult to open, or just not right for her. In her search she spots the delicious looking red hot chilli and sneakily takes a bite. To her despair, the red hot chilli was TOO hot and her face turned redder and redder. In an attempt to cool down her mouth, her mum, dad, aunt and granddad suggest their ideas which will cool down her month, including: mango, jelly and ice cream. I loved reading this book to my children in my SBT 1. I read it over and over again to them over a period of two weeks and I never got bored of it myself. There is lots going on in this book which leaves teachers with the opportunity to carry out a number of activities with children; educating children in an exciting and engaging way. This book is appropriate to read to Early years children, especially Reception children.The class and I enjoyed reading the story and role playing Limas families attempts to cool down Limas mouth. The story book is in two different languages, making it a get choice of book in schools with a high number of EAL students. Following the lesson, the children had an opportunity to taste different food and there was a focus on their reactions to different types of food. In the next lesson, the children will have an opportunity to write about the food they tried and describe their reactions to the food. Noorart will not be responsible for delivery delays due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our reasonable control, such as delays due to severe weather, natural disasters or strikes . Activity 1 – Make a list of the different food items in the story and discuss adjectives, noun phrases used by author.

Numeracy: Tell the children that Lima wants to say thank you to them for writing such beautiful letters to her and helping her remember. But she does not know how many children there are and therefore how many things she will need for the picnic. Here, you could set up a pretend picnic where the children are using their imagination being in role play and also learning how to count objects and say how many are needed, etc etc. This week, we are looking at two aspects of the past and comparing it to modern life – household items as well as school life.

A little girl called Lima arrives home very hungry. Her Mum tells her that there is plenty of food in the kitchen, but she must not eat the red hot chilli. Lima looks at lots of different foods, but none of them are quite right; the coconut was too hard and the samosas were too cold. Lima decided to try the red hot chilli, but it was so hot that her mouth felt as if it were on fire! Her family all give her different foods and drinks to stop her mouth from burning, but in the end her Grandma comes to the rescue giving her a glass of milk.
