Date: 2nd Jun 2020 @ 8:27am
Good morning Starlings,
How are you? Did you have a busy day of home learning yesterday? What have you got planned for today? Keep sharing what you get up to either on Twitter or in an email to admin@lostockgralam.cheshire.sch.uk.
Please continue to follow our attached timetable and task list today. I would like to highlight today’s PSHE lesson. As we start to think about our return to school, it is important that we remind the children about the importance of effective handwashing. In today’s Oak Academy lesson, we will discuss the use of a time capsule, as a way of storing memorable items from our time in COVID-19 lockdown. We will start by discussing how to stay clean and healthy, which will be followed by making a sign that can be used to promote good handwashing and reduce the risk of spreading germs.
Below are some other activities that you might like to try today.
History Challenge
Look at some photos of when you were younger. What things have stayed the same? What things are different now? Now see if you can look at some photos of when your parents or grandparents were little. What things have stayed the same from then until now? What things are different?
Reading
Please read or listen to the story of The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. If you have this story at home then please use the book. If not, please watch this video of the story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUTb1dAnnK0.
Once you have read the story or watched the video, please complete the two activities below.
- Can you design your own creature?
- Can you write your own book review? Here is an animation video for you to enjoy, just for fun!

PSHE – Would you rather?
Create some ‘Would you rather…?’ questions to ask people at home. For example, would you rather be a cat or a dog? Would you rather have three legs or three arms?
Art/DT
Design and create a woodland creature of your own. This may be the same as, or different to The Gruffalo. Here are some examples to help you. I am looking for you to be as creative as possible, you could even try to use some natural materials from outdoors. Please send me some photographs via Twitter or email.

Choose one (or more) of the activities from the document below. They are short activities to keep you busy, and some of them you may have never done before. Take photos and send them to me via email, I would love to see which ones you have chosen.
Have a wonderful day and remember just how special you all are to Mrs Southern and I. We are so excited to see you soon.

Pause for Thought: Be Kind
Click here to watch the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qcyc68d6OAk&feature=youtu.be
We should be kind because we care about other people. However, the video that we just watched suggests that kindness is also good for us. Ask the children to think about why this might be. You might like to start by revisiting the ideas suggested in the video (go to 0.20 minutes and play the following ten seconds).
Can you make a list of something kind that you could do each day of the week?
Dear God,
Please help us to be kind to those around us.
Please help us to think about the needs of other people.
Please help us to seek to live in peace.
Amen.
