Hello Team Goldfinch.

Hope you had a great day yesterday.

Lola found these Science experiments by Mr. Duck and was fascinated by them so I thought I would share them with you. (I think one or two of you have already had a go!)  Beware- they need a lot of kitchen stuff so please ask and check before you raid the kitchen cupboards to try them out!! I now have sunflower oil and food colouring on my shopping list for the next time I'm at the supermarket!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McVpXiSttnU 

Here is another Book Review with a gorgeous illustration from one of our Goldfinches:   I wonder how many of you will be persuaded to give this one a go... Amelie is enjoying this book at the moment too. We arranged to book swap with one of her friends. Safely and with social distancing, they left a bag of books on each other's doorsteps to borrow while we are in Lockdown. 

If you want to relax and listen to a story being read aloud try ths website: https://www.storylineonline.net/  Which one will you choose I wonder? 

Some of you might know that I like to go running so I have been doing a lot of it while my 3 bike alongside me. But yesterday Toby ran 5km with me (and he is fast!) What new ways of keeping fit have you discovered? 

School Jobs: 

Spellings: Practise this week's words e.g. in a spelling doodle, using chalk outside, using Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check then get someone to test you, or you test them! Make sure you know the meaning of the words. Use a dictionary or Google dictionary to look up the meanings.

Maths: Do the lesson from Tuesday 31st March (Shape Patterns 2)   http://www.iseemaths.com/lessons34/  I wonder if you can make your own up? If you do, send me a picture via admin e-mail and I can attach it to our blog for your friends to solve! (Make sure you test it out first!!)

Relaxation: My Happy Mind  or Cosmic Yoga https://www.youtube.com/user/CosmicKidsYoga 

 
 
 
History/Art: Have a go at making your VE Day posters or bunting or decorations ready for Friday. Can you use Red White and Blue? Can you make a Union Jack Flag? 
This was my attempt at the VE themed 3D art from yesterday... The E was tricky to do! I wonder what else you could experiment with creating in 3D? 
 
 
Happy creating Goldfinches and keep choosing fun exercises to do to keep you fit, motivated and healthy,

Message from Mrs Powell:
What did the world look like on VE day? What were people eating? Over the past few months, you might have had to eat something different because shopping is a little more complicated. What food did people eat on VE day? Lots of you have been growing your own fruits and vegetables; I’m growing tomatoes, herbs and strawberries and waiting to see if my peppers will grow! During the war, food was rationed so people grew as much food as they could. Another one of my Gran’s favourite foods was liver and she would make me and my brothers and sisters eat it all the time because she said it was good for us! We really didn’t like that but I like the ideas of some of these war time foods; my Gran Peggy would have loved the liver casserole!

Here's some of the popular foods eaten during World War II and the sort of dishes that featured in VE Day celebrations. Do you fancy trying any of them?

· Dripping sandwiches with beef fat

· Lord Woolton pie (cauliflower, potatoes, parsnips, oats)

· Pork faggots with onion gravy and mash

· Homity pie (potato, onion and cheese)

· Corned beef hash

· Liver casserole

· Eggless fruit cake. Why do you think it was eggless?
