15.6.20 Starlings Class Blog - Monday

Date: 15th Jun 2020 @ 7:54am

Good morning Starlings

The sun has got his hat on, hip hip hip hooray! Well it's sunny as I'm writing this, hopefully it is still sunny as you read this! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. What did you get up to?  Perhaps you could share a photograph or write a sentence about what you go up to this weekend in our class discussion on School Spider? I have also asked you all a question today. I wonder if you could reply by typing your answer and attaching a photograph or picture?

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! Just do what you can, when you can. Your child's mental health is much more important than a home learning task.

History

Today’s history lesson focuses on Florence Nightingale. Learn about the life, actions and achievements of Florence Nightingale by watching the video linked below. We then have an exciting BBC Bitesize activity to complete.

English

Write a list for each of these words with words that rhyme with; jug, cat, jam, pen, man, pig, log, box, ball, cake, sun. Try to think of at least 2 rhymes for each word. EXTRA: come up with your own words that rhyme.

Maths

• Time yourself writing numbers 0-20. See how quickly you can do it and try to beat your time during the week. Make sure all of your numbers are facing the correct direction!
• Draw a clock for each of these activities and draw the hands on the clocks to show what time you did them; get up, breakfast, lunch, dinner, go to bed. Add 3 more activities you do during your day.

Science

Write down a list of the 5 different senses humans have and the body part each sense belongs to, e.g. hearing - ears. Now watch this video https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z9yycdm/articles/zxy987h . For each sense, write down one interesting fact you have learnt.

For today’s special treat Mrs Downing has decided to read you a story called ’Franklin’s flying Bookshop’. To watch simply just click on the following link- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFwOWhgOB6w

That's all from me for now, I will speak to you tomorrow. Hope you have a super start to the week. Keep smiling, you are all amazing!

Alex Staniforth

Alex has had many barriers in his young life but found that he had a passion for the outdoors at a very young age.  He found that if he was outside he was happy and chose many challenges including two attempts up Everest which failed due to an earthquake and avalanche. He said that we can’t always choose our challenges but we can choose how we respond to them.  He says that Everest was just one step on his journey and his mission is to help others discover their own Everest in life and go for it.  Alex is an amazing person, remember you can achieve anything in life that you want to do.  Many years ago Alex went to school in Cheshire just like you do, I know because I taught him.  I wonder what you will achieve and what your Everest will be?  He and I would both say, you can do anything!  I have emailed him recently and he has promised to come and talk to you all in school when it is safe to do so.
