Good morning Starlings,
How are you? I hope you have had a lovely half term and have made the most of the glorious sunshine. We have been so lucky with the weather, haven’t we? Have you explored anywhere new this week? I went for a walk by the river yesterday afternoon and saw so many ducklings, cygnets and beautiful butterflies.
In case you missed it, we have put together a video of ‘Lostock’s Lockdown Memories’ for the children. Don’t worry if you didn’t send in a photo for this video, we will be making a part 2 video soon! You can watch it here:

Once again, I have attached a new timetable for you to follow this week with new tasks and projects to complete – remember this is only a suggested timetable and activities are always optional! I know ots of you are going to really enjoy my SPACE focus this week. Just do what you can, when you can. Your child's mental health is much more important than a home learning task.

- Everybody Worries - Written and illustrated by Jon Burgerman
In this bright and friendly picture book, children learn that it’s okay to worry about coronavirus. Fun rhyming couplets keep the tone gentle and supportive, and you will find plenty of ideas for dealing with coronavirus in a positive way.
Everybody Worries offers your Starling the reassuring message that this crisis will pass, we are there for them, and we will get through this together. Follow the link below to read along or just listen to the story.

Creative
Using a felt tip pen or paint, take a thumbprint from everyone in your house. Use a dark colour pen or pencil to make the thumbprints into something. Have a look here for some ideas.
Reading
Are you keeping up with your reading? There are so many fantastic online resources available for you to use for free.
Mrs Southern and I miss you lots and can’t wait to see you all very soon. Keep working hard and making good choices at home.
