Good morning Starlings,

How are you doing? I hope you are all ok! Have you got that end of the week FRIYAY feeling? Perhaps you could let us know what you plan on getting up this weekend in our class discussion? We will also be discussing playground games today. Maybe we could create of games together that we could play next week? Remember the 2metre rule!

Please continue to follow our attached timetable today. I hope you are all enjoying your home learning packs, a new pack will be ready for you

to collect from Monday afternoon. Please do try to complete a maths, reading and writing activity of some sort each day. This could be as simple as writing the days of the week, playing a counting game to 100 and reading a story on the Oxford Owl website.

Today's story is from our lovely head teacher, Mrs Powell. Get comfy and cosy and listen to The Day The Crayons Quit....

• Worship - Kindness

This week we're incredibly excited to be joined by The Duchess of Cambridge, who wants to share the importance of spreading a little kindness for our mental wellbeing. I would like as many Starlings as possible to watch this important video either today or at some point over the weekend.

• Art - To investigate warm and cool colours.

In today’s lesson, we will be focusing on how colours can be categorised into warm and cool. Warm colours help us think of warm and cosy things, while cool colours may remind us of fresh, calm and chilly things. We will create a piece of work inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe, who used warm and cool colours in her artwork. You will need a piece of paper, a pencil and some paints or colouring pencils.

• Computer Game!  

Today you have permission to play computer games during learning time. Now that doesn’t happen very often does it?  Here is a link to a game teaching you all about the importance of social distancing. I love how relatable it is to children and know we could have lots of fun pretending to be in a game like this when we are together on the playground again soon.

Don’t forget to come and say hello on our class discussion today, especially if you have a game suggestion for us.

Have a wonderful weekend.
