Date: 21st May 2020 @ 8:49am

Good morning Starlings,

 

How are you? Did you have a lovely day of home learning yesterday? I know lots of you have been spending time in your paddling pools or going on walks to make the most of the lovely weather! ☀️ Fingers crossed for some more sunshine this afternoon. Every day you continue to amaze me with all of the busy jobs you are doing at home. It’s so lovely to see you working hard but also enjoying yourselves! Remember our home learning activities are my ideas, I know not all of you will fancy doing all of them so any other activities you do are great too! Do have a look around our Twitter page to see what else your friends have been up to! 

 

Please continue to follow our attached timetable today. I have also listed some additional activities that you might enjoy having a go at below. Enjoy!  

 

PSHE

What is a hero?

It is a person who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.

Heroes/Heroines:

· are brave.

· help others because it is the right thing to do.

 · think of others before they think of themselves.

· have stood up for something important.

· have made the world a better place.

Can you create your own definition? Who is your hero? Explain why this person is so special for you. Design a medal for your hero on A4 paper or on the computer. You may wish to make this medal out of old cardboard/card or any resources you may have at home. Please share your medals on Twitter or on send them into school so that we can display them on our Sharing Window.

• Bizarre Creatures

 Draw the head of a creature, fold the paper, then someone else draws the body, fold again and then someone else draws the legs! What have you created?

Have a wonderful day and remember just how special you all are to Mrs Southern and I.

Message from Mrs Powell

The definition of wise in the Oxford English Dictionary is ‘Having or showing experience, knowledge and good judgement’.  When have you been wise, maybe you have been lost in a shop. This experience should have taught you always to stay near to the grown-up you are with, or should have led to you to learning exactly what to do if you got lost again.   Being wise means learning from past experiences and carefully thinking about decisions that we make and things that we do now.  What mistakes have you learnt from?  I think we learn far more from the mistakes we make rather than the things that we get right!

Dear God
Please help us to be wise.
Help us to realize that there are consequences to everything that we do.
Please help us to make good decisions that will work out best for ourselves and for other people.
Amen
