Hello wonderful Goldfinches- it is Friday again!
Here's another little clip for you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jlq4r9Yte_w&feature=youtu.be
This week was supposed to be my children's sports day. We felt a bit disappointed that we were going to miss it- especially as it would have been Amelie's last one in Y6. We talked about this and shared how cross we were with Coronavirus...... but then we gave ourselves a little shake. We know we can't spend long being cross as it is not good for us, so instead we have decided to get creative and make our own sports day. We're thinking about potato and spoon, sprint, wheelbarrow, sack, obstacle, hopping, skipping and dribble the ball in the cones races. I think it will be fun and will cheer us up. I think you Goldfinches could make up some great races for your own sports days!

Reading: If you are interested in space and stars then the attached Picture News resources will appeal to you.... or just curl up with your own book, relax and disappear into another world.
Spelling: Review the 1st 100 High frequency words. Test and practice or if this is all done, choose some of the words from the Y3/4 list.
Happy Friday to you all- once again you all deserve a hot chocolate today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIxUWOYwTn0 We all thought we would enjoy a hot chocolate together today. Take care and stay safe,

Louis Braille was born in France in 1809 and was three years old when he lost his sight in one eye. By the age of five, he was completely blind. At that time, there was no help available for blind people and many of them would end up begging for food on the streets. Louis’ parents didn’t want that to happen to their son, so they continued to educate him in every way possible. When Louis was 12 years old, he met an army captain who showed him a way of sending messages at night using raised dots and dashes. Louis saw the potential for a communication system for blind people and, by the age of 15, he had found 63 ways to use a six-dot cell in an area the size of a fingertip. In this way, he created Braille, a form of written language for blind people, which they can ‘read’ by feeling the raised dots of the Braille characters with their fingertips.
Let’s try to be people who have the courage to move forward, no matter what happens. At the same time, let’s remember that there are many people who can help us if we need to talk about our worries.
Prayer
Dear God, Whether I’m big or whether I’m small, Sometimes I’ll try to be ever so brave, And think about what God sees in me And aim to be the best that I can be. Amen.
