Well done for another week at home! You and your adults at home really are doing so well. I know it’s tough but you’ve got this! My sticker drawer in the classroom hasn’t been used in a while so I’m sending you lots of virtual Christian Value stickers to say a huge well done and to make you smile! I know you love them! ❤️

Please continue to follow our attached timetable and task list today. Below are some other exciting activities that you might like to try today.

Reading

Please listen to ''I don't want to wash my hands'' read by Tony Ross. https://literacytrust.org.uk/family-zone/birth-4/watch-i-dont-want-to-wash-my-hands-and-get-a-free-little-princess-book/ Discuss with your family what this story is about, and why this is important.

There is also a free ebook to download if you wish, also written by Tony Ross. https://cdn.literacytrust.org.uk/media/documents/I_Want_a_Bedtime_Story.pdf

On this website you will also find some lovely posters about washing your hands. Could you design your own poster? You could have a prince, princess, king or queen on yours.

How does this make you feel? Happy I hope! As we are all stuck at home and things often seem difficult. Perhaps you could create a well-being jar today or this weekend? Please follow the instructions in the document attached below to help you to do this. Please send me photographs of your jar via Twitter or email Have fun!

Active Maths

I have attached some active Maths activies for you to have a go at today. Most of these activities can be completed both inside and outside. It is looking a little bit gloomy so you might need to save some of these activities for a brighter day. Maths in the rain, wrapped up with my wellies on sounds like quite good fun to me though!

My favourite activites are the chalk activity and the counting in 2s, 5s and 10s activity.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone, I can’t wait to see you all soon. Stay safe and keep busy. Here is a little video message from me and a lovely story by Mrs Southern. Enjoy!

Louis Braille was born in France in 1809 and was three years old when he lost his sight in one eye. By the age of five, he was completely blind. At that time, there was no help available for blind people and many of them would end up begging for food on the streets. Louis’ parents didn’t want that to happen to their son, so they continued to educate him in every way possible.

When Louis was 12 years old, he met an army captain who showed him a way of sending messages at night using raised dots and dashes. Louis saw the potential for a communication system for blind people and, by the age of 15, he had found 63 ways to use a six-dot cell in an area the size of a fingertip. In this way, he created Braille, a form of written language for blind people, which they can ‘read’ by feeling the raised dots of the Braille characters with their fingertips.

Let’s try to be people who have the courage to move forward, no matter what happens. At the same time, let’s remember that there are many people who can help us if we need to talk about our worries.

Prayer
Dear God,
Whether I’m big or whether I’m small,
Sometimes I’ll try to be ever so brave,
And think about what God sees in me
And aim to be the best that I can be.
Amen.
