Good Morning Starlings. What an exciting way to start our day with a Zoom call! Mrs Southern is going to be on the Class Discussion page today so make sure you send her a message to let her know how you’re getting on.
For today, please do your home learning on maths, writing, phonics, spellings and a relaxing fitness activity. For Worship, take some time to switch off and do a My Smiling Mind Meditation. I’ve read you a story for you to listen to today so please sit back and enjoy listening to both of these.
Maths
Today for our maths lesson, we are going to have some fun estimating time. See the PowerPoint attached or follow the link to the YouTube video:
Writing
Today we are starting our new story ‘The Tortoise and The Hare’ so enjoy listening to the story (which is also attached) and see if you can retell it in your own words. Please see the PowerPoint attached or you can follow the link to the YouTube version:

Story
My story today is called ‘Sometimes I Feel Sunny’ and it’s all about the different feelings we have:
Worship
Today for our worship, we would like you to take part in a guided meditation on My Smiling Mind, just like we do in school. I hope you managed to set up an account last week. Follow the link: https://app.smilingmind.com.au/
In order to access the resources at the link below you will need to sign up to a free account (it only takes 2 minutes!) Once you have signed up, select the age category ‘12 and under’. Then you need to select which type of mindfulness activities you are interested in, I recommend choosing ‘improving wellbeing’. Finally select the resources for ‘3-6 year olds’ and you will now have access to 60+ mindfulness sessions that are great to help your child relax, unwind and switch off after a busy day of home learning.
Fitness Challenge
As it’s Wellness Wednesday, try this 5 A Day Chillout session:
