Hello you wonderful bunch!
How are you? I hope you had another brilliant day of home learning yesterday. It has been so lovely to see so many Tweets and emails about the fabulous things that you have been getting up to at home. Keep them coming!
Please continue to follow our attached timetable and task list today. Below are some other exciting activities that you might like to try today.
Science
You are going to love this one Starlings… I know lots of you enjoyed the rainbow Science activities that I set last week so I have attached some different experiments for you to have a go at this week. For each experiment, make a prediction about what you think will happen. Think of a way to record what happens in your experiment. You could take photos or a video, or you might write about what happens.
Creative Activities
- Write your name in as many different ways as possible using just a pencil. Think about the size and shape, bubble writing, curly writing, backwards writing, etc.
- Draw a picture on someone’s back using your finger. See if they can guess what you have drawn. Swap and see if you can guess what they draw on you.
Maths
Here is a lovely little maths game for you to play using dice. All you need to do is roll two dice and add the numbers together. Can you write the number sentence? I wonder who will make the largest number?
Challenge: Could you 3 dice and add the numbers together?
Note: Please see optional game board attached. You could roll the same dice 3 times or use an online dice if you are struggling to find one.
Wellbeing
Finally, I have attached a ‘Wellbeing Activity Calendar’ for you to use. In school, we used a similar version as our advent calendar this year. The children loved all the little activities. The calendar contains daily activities to help families look after their wellbeing during self-isolation.
Keep busy, stay safe and keep smiling.
Lots of love from Miss Gillam

Please watch this clip and think about what we talked about yesterday http://tinyurl.com/qbkaq75
I love this story. Do you think Mr George likes cabbage now? Can you imagine how he felt? Victory in Europe (VE) Day marked the end of the Second World War in Europe in 1945. Friday 8th May 2015 was the official 70th anniversary of VE Day. VE Day is another day that many people will never forget as it marked the end of a terrible war in Europe, though there was still fighting in Japan until later that year. Mr George’s memorable day was one of great danger followed by relief at still being alive. This is one type of memorable day although hopefully no one present will experience such a day! My Gran Peggy used to tell me when she had her very first orange as you couldn’t get them during the war; she used to make lots of marmalade as oranges became her favourite fruit! Mr George’s story reminds us that we all have special days that will stay with us forever. We don’t know when they will come or what they will be.
