Happy Friday everyone! I hope you are all keeping well. I was chatting with Aoife about what a joke is and we then spent ages exploring this website https://www.beano.com/ full of great quizzes, games, jokes, videos etc. Definitely worth a look to amuse yourselves over the next few weeks.

 “You will never have this day again. So make it count”

Good morning children,

It may not feel like it but we are all very lucky to have each other.  What are you going to do today to make it different from yesterday, we never get today again.  What will you do today?  How will you use it?  Will you draw a picture?  Do some PE?  Help someone at home?  I’m keeping a diary so that I can remember how I made each day count, could you?  Mrs Powell

Stay safe and remember this: “I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.”

English

Easter Break Home Learning

As a school, we have decided that the daily blogs will not continue through the Easter holidays. We think it’s important you all have a break from this kind of learning and instead play, bake, garden, spend time together and relax! However, you will still get a weekly blog.

Here are some ideas for home learning ideas that you could do over the two week break, if you’d like! I'll add Week 2 in next weeks blog. Happy holidays everyone!

Week 1

Reading

Continue with some form of daily reading – you reading to your child, your child reading to you or whole-family reading time! Maybe you could try listening to some audio books on https://stories.audible.com/start-listen. They are free for as long as schools are closed!

Zoo Visit

Go on a virtual visit to Chester Zoo with your family. On 27^th March, Chester Zoo held a virtual zoo day where the live streamed footage from different enclosures around the zoo. Relive this experience by visiting the Chester Zoo YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ9UagJLiMdBIFOHYwT7eLA

Enjoy!
