Good morning Robins and Happy Thursday J
How are you all this morning?
When I spoke to lots of you last week, you all seemed to enjoy the Garden yoga resource that I shared with you. Therefore, today I have uploaded another yoga/breathing resource to our blog called 'Calm down brain breaks'. It has lots of different breathing techniques that you can try at home when you are feeling worried or anxious, or simply want to relax for 5 minutes.
This morning Mrs Southern has read a story for you:

Our timetable is attached below if you would like to carry on with your topic work this morning. For maths and writing we will continue with our Oak National Academy Lessons. Today in English we are looking at different types of punctuation and in maths we are focussing on multiplication using partitioning.

Have a super day my lovely Robins and remember tomorrow we have our class PE lesson with Mr Ault between 9am and 10am! It will be so lovely to see you all again!! Wear comfy clothes and bring a water bottle.

Message from Mrs Powell:
Never judge anyone by the way they look.
Once upon a time, in a desert far away, there was a rose who was so proud of her beautiful looks. Her only complaint was growing next to an ugly cactus.
Every day, the beautiful rose would insult and mock the cactus on his looks, all while the cactus remained quiet. All the other plants nearby tried to make the rose see sense, but she was too swayed by her own looks.
One scorching summer, the desert became dry, and there was no water left for the plants. The rose quickly began to wilt. Her beautiful petals dried up, losing their lush colour.
Looking to the cactus, she saw a sparrow dip his beak into the cactus to drink some water. Though ashamed, the rose asked the cactus if she could have some water. The kind cactus readily agreed, helping them both through the tough summer, as friends.
What have you done for a friend? The cactus and the rose look very different but we are all unique and have special gifts.
“The things that make me different are the things that make me, me.”

Today’s Story –
Mrs Rice reading And Tango makes Three- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d50xjPmHgvM&t=21s
Message from Mrs Powell
Good morning! This week, we are going to find out about amazing people who have done amazing things.
As you read the stories, just imagine what you will do when you are older… all these amazing people once sat in a classroom just like you!
Gillian Ayres
In the 1970s, she became the first woman ever to run an art department in a British Art School! When she was older, she moved to North Wales. In Wales, she started to use oil paint again rather than acrylic paint to make her artwork. Oil paint is really thick and sometimes she would apply the paint so it would be inches thick! While she lived in Wales her artwork became even bolder and more joyful.
Gillian Ayres wanted people to be happy when they looked at her art and the world around them. Does her art make you feel happy? What other emotions do you feel?
Gillian Ayres was obsessed with painting. She is one of the most famous British abstract painters. Being an abstract painter meant you didn't care about artworks looking like real things, like people or buildings, but you care about shapes, colours and emotions. Someone asked her once what her artwork was about, and she just listed random things like ice cream, cakes, seaweed, shells and hats!
L.S Lowry
L. S. Lowry (Laurence Stephen Lowry) was born on 1st November 1887 in Stretford, Lancashire.
- Lowry had an unhappy childhood. He wasn’t very popular at school, didn’t have a very close relationship with his parents, and he had few friends.
- The Lowry family moved to the industrial town of Pendlebury in 1909. The landscape was dominated by textile mills and the chimneys of factories, and this imagery left its mark on the young L. S. Lowry.
- Lowry had taken art classes as a child and he went to the Manchester School of Art and then Salford Royal Technical College.
- In 1932, Lowry’s father died and he looked after to his mother. After his mother fell alseep, Lowry started to paint, often finishing at 3 a.m.
- Lowry’s paintings often featured industrial Pendlebury and they captured scenes of life in industrial England. His landscapes are often populated by stylised ‘matchstick men’ figures.
- Lowry didn’t complete many paintings of London. However, his 1960 painting of Piccadilly Circus sold for more than £5 million in 2011.
- Some of his most famous works include: Industrial Landscape, Going to the Match and Coming from the Mill, The Viaduct and The Football Match.
- Lowry became an official war artist in 1943 and he was the Official Artist of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
- Lowry was a massive fan of Manchester City Football Club just like Mr A!
Best wishes from Mrs Downing, Mrs Whittingham & Mr Beswick and have a fabulous day!

A message from Mrs Powell
Stephen Hawking - Another incredible person
Arguably one of the world's most famous scientists, Stephen Hawking is known for his contributions Stephen made many important contributions to the world of science. He developed theories about how the world began and furthered our understanding of black holes, stars and the universe. Stephen was always keen for his work to be accessible to everyone, not just scientists. He wrote books that explained his theories in simple terms for everyone to understand, including a children’s book. His most famous book, A Brief History of Time, sold more than 10 million copies! In 1985, Stephen developed a life-threatening infection. He had an emergency operation that saved his life but left him unable to talk. He was given a special computer that talked for him, which he controlled by moving a muscle in his cheek – clever! Stephen received many awards for his work including the 1979 Albert Einstein Medal, the Order of the British Empire (Commander) in 1982 and the 1988 Wolf Prize in Physics.
Stephen is remembered as an inspiration to many people. He had an amazing mind, incredible determination and didn’t let his illness stand in his way.
Have a wonderful Wednesday and I will see you all on Friday.

Explorers
Freya Stark (1893-1993)
Stark went where few Europeans, especially women, had ever been before. A British explorer and writer, her travels led her into remote areas of Turkey and the Middle East. While living in Baghdad, she explored and mapped uncharted areas of the Islamic world. Hers were some of the first accurate maps of the region. She moved on foot, on donkeys, on camels and by car – camping along the way. Stark is the author of more than 24 travel books, covering local history, culture and tales of everyday life. In spite of age and illnesses, she never stopped travelling. In 1972 she was honoured as Dame Freya Stark! Wow!
What adventures would you go on? Why?
Take care everyone and see you soon!

Beatrice Shilling
Born in 1909, in Hampshire, Beatrice - universally known as Tilly - was obsessed with engines from early childhood.
"As a child I played with Meccano," she recalled in an interview with Woman Engineer magazine. "I spent my pocket money on penknives, an adjustable spanner, a glue pot and other simple hand tools."
"From a child she was pulling engines apart. Her real passion was mechanical engineering."
Beatrice saved countless lives by inventing a gadget that stopped planes stalling in mid-air and crashing. Beatrice was a brilliant scientist and engineer.

In Maths, we are looking at the more than and less than signs when we compare two numbers < >. The lessons this week are underneath the 4th May tab https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/. We have looked at these signs a few times, so you should be an expert!
In Writing, we are looking at how to use exclamation marks. We have two main ways of using these, commands when you are being bossy and giving an instruction eg "Get down from there now!" Or an exclamantion sentence that starts with what or how eg What a kind person you are! How sunny it is today! Again, this is revision for you.

Good Morning to my Goldfinch class of 2019-2020
Well we have come to the end of the most unusual year all of us have probably ever experienced. I want to thank all of my wonderful Goldfinch families for your hard work, enthusiasm and support. I am so proud of each and every one of my Goldfinches for persevering with the challenges of this year and am so sad our time in Goldfinches was cut so short. I have a little message for you all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxsL9oY7dtk&feature=youtu.be
My hopes and home learning for you all this summer are to keep the balance of being active, being playful, being restful, respectful and polite so that you are ready for September when we are back together as a whole school. .... and please please, read, read, read, read.
School Jobs:
Quiz: Have a go at the attached quiz. How many can you score all by yourself?
Draw with Rob: http://www.robbiddulph.com/draw-with-rob Which picture will you have a go at today?
TV Treat: As it would have been our last day in Goldfinches, we would have had a TV treat so pop and get yourself a snack and a drink and enjoy these videos https://www.wallaceandgromit.com/films/cracking-contraptions
Have the most wonderful summer and much love to you all
Mrs Evans 
and Mrs Brennan
Message from Mrs Powell
It is hard to think we break up from school today. I cannot tell you enough times just how amazing you have been since we were all last together, I am so proud of how you have managed, learnt and kept smiling. All the staff can’t wait for September until we are back again but missing some very special Year 6 pupils who are going onto new adventures. When I was looking for a worship on how to end the year I found this, I hope you like it!
All of us will have preferred ways to say goodbye. However, the actual word ‘goodbye’ means, ‘God be with you.’ Christians believe that God is always with us. It is good to remember that when people leave us, they are not left on their own. Whether it is just over the holidays, or as some of you move to a new school, we all wish you the very best and, as we say goodbye, we pray that God will be with you wherever you go.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Have a wonderful summer!

Did you have a good weekend? I would love to hear what you have been up to over on our Class Discussion this morning.

On Friday, I shared the link for a gratitude journal and challenged you all to spend 5 minutes in the morning and the evening to think about what you are grateful for. As it’s Monday and a new week, today would be a great day to start it if you haven’t already so I will attach the link again. You don’t have to use this template; you could simply write your thoughts on some paper or in a special notebook that you might have at home:

Monday 6th July Skylarks home learning, by Miss Thwaites
Date: 3rd Jul 2020 @ 5:26pm
A very good Monday morning to Skylarks class,
I hope you are all still smiling! These final two weeks of the school term have approached us a lot quicker than we expected. It has been a really unusual time for everyone and I hope that this comes as some good news to you. On the Newsletter that was sent out last week, it states that you will have the chance to come back to school during a few different days to see your current teacher and new teachers. I know I am super excited to see you all as I have missed you so much.
On Tuesday 7th July (tomorrow) you will have the opportunity to come to school to collect your reports and a new home learning pack. If you would like to come into school sometime between 9:30am-11:30am or 1pm-2pm.
On Friday 10th July, you will also have the opportunity to meet with your current and new class teachers and to have an outdoor PE lesson with Mr Ault. Our timeslot for this is 12:30-1:30pm. Please where appropriate footwear, your own clothes and bring a water bottle.
Finally, the last opportunity for you to come into school to see myself and your new class teacher will be on Monday 13th July 9:30-11:30am. It really would be lovely to see you all back for this as it will really help you moving forward into Year 6 and I would love to see you all before I leave before the Summer holidays. 
Maths
This week, it would be nice for you to have a try of this new topic at looking at angles. It is useful for you to have some understanding ready for Year 6 but if you are struggling with this at home then instead complete some of your home learning pack. Today’s lesson is all about measuring angles: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zyfrsk7
German
Since we haven’t been able to continue our German lessons with school closing. I thought it would be nice and a bit of fun for you all to complete the following German lesson on BBC bitesize which will hopefully recap some of your prior learning: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z6g8bqt
Mrs O’Marah has decided to read you the very famous story known as ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’. To have a listen to the story please follow this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-0xCovsrKA

Morning Goldfinches,
How are you all today? We are nearly at the end of term!
It's going to be a bit of an emotional one for me as it is Amelie's official last day as a Y6 Primary School Pupil. 
A very different end to her days in primary school with a virtual leaver's service and we would never have been able to predict this at the start of the year. My love and thoughts are particularly with all of you who are parents and families of Y6 children leaving our Lostock Gralam Family this week.
Storytime: Right then- i'm in need of a cheer up story today so here we go...The final part of The Twits - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRkPER4lXh4&t=3s We hope you've enjoyed this as much as we have!

Message from Mrs Powell:
Joshua 1:9
How do you feel about returning to school in September? Do you feel nervous, anxious, perhaps wishing you were back home where you felt safe?
In this passage, Joshua was standing at the edge of the land of Canaan, Moses had died, and God was commanding Joshua to take the Israelites forward into the promised land. It was new, they were leaving what they had known, to step into a future that God had planned.
God gave this command to Joshua in verse 9 to encourage him, to put a strong heart into him, whatever the future holds, God would be with him. I wonder how this made Joshua feel strong and courageous? As Joshua and the people of Israel recalled how God had been with them through the desert, it gave them certainty of the truth of this going forward, this is a common pattern throughout the Bible of looking back to God’s faithfulness to stand strong in going forward.
Joshua probably felt the same as we do now, as we begin again, our community, coming back together and settling down into our school – some things will feel familiar, some will feel different. Corrie ten Boom, a German Christian who survived concentration camps during the Holocaust, said, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” What do you know of God? Reflect back – how has God been with you before Covid-19? How has he been with you through this? How might this make you feel strong and courageous?
Listen to the track “Good Good Father” by Chris Tomlinson. Joshua spent time talking with God – it gave him courage to go forward into something new…spend time talking to God now, recall how he has shown goodness over that past months and even years, tell him your feelings and ask him to give you courage for the future.
A prayer for courage:
Lord, I’m afraid
I don’t feel bold or courageous today
Help me to remember that bravery isn’t the absence of fear, it’s doing the right thing no matter what.
Give me a courageous heat.
I know that you will be with me, I am not alone.
You are greater than any obstacle I face.
Help me to step forward knowing that you are trustworthy
And my source of strength.
In Jesus’ name. Amen

Message from Mrs Powell
How do we know we are loved?
Penguins are loyal to their partners. Love is loyal. God is loyal and is committed to us.
In Hebres 13.5 God says, “never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.” This is a way of understanding that we are loved by Him.
Has someone ever said you are “One in a Million? Out of all the 7.3 billion people in the world, there is only one of us. God has made us unique. We are important. We are special, we are loved. Letting other peoples love in our hearts makes our hearts stronger. If we want to live well and if we want to love others it starts with loving ourselves and letting love in.

Message from Mrs Powell
Sometimes people make us sad. When it comes to being hurt, the bravest, happiest, strongest thing we can do is to forgive. Forgiving is not to hold onto the hurt and to let it go. Jesus said to forgive not 7 times but 77 times. What can we do today to love someone else more?
Jesus instructs us to forgive others over and over again just like he does for us. He clearly teaches his disciples in this story that they are to forgive “seventy seven times” or over and over again
Just like his forgiveness doesn’t run out, neither should our own. Use this story to share with your child that we should forgive others just as he forgives us. Jesus provided the way and the model for humility and forgiveness. His example is one we can follow daily because parents, siblings, teachers, friends and loved ones will make mistakes that affect us.
“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32

How is your week going so far? I really do understand how hard it is to keep motiviating yourself. Please keep trying hard to choose activities to keep your mind active- it is so important and makes you feel so good when you have achieved something by the end of the day.
We have been doing a bit more drawing with Rob Biddulph in the Key worker bubble this week- why don't you have another go... http://www.robbiddulph.com/draw-with-rob
Remember the importance of being active- this really helps your motivation levels as well as helping you to stay fit and healthy. Try a Go Noodle or Joe Wicks, dance around your living room or make your own circuit with different exercises

Message from Mrs Powell
Never judge anyone by the way they look.
Once upon a time, in a desert far away, there was a rose who was so proud of her beautiful looks. Her only complaint was growing next to an ugly cactus.
Every day, the beautiful rose would insult and mock the cactus on his looks, all while the cactus remained quiet. All the other plants nearby tried to make the rose see sense, but she was too swayed by her own looks.
One scorching summer, the desert became dry, and there was no water left for the plants. The rose quickly began to wilt. Her beautiful petals dried up, losing their lush colour.
Looking to the cactus, she saw a sparrow dip his beak into the cactus to drink some water. Though ashamed, the rose asked the cactus if she could have some water. The kind cactus readily agreed, helping them both through the tough summer, as friends.
What have you done for a friend? The cactus and the rose look very different but we are all unique and have special gifts.
The things that make me different are the things that make me, me.”

Explorers
Freya Stark (1893-1993)
Stark went where few Europeans, especially women, had ever been before. A British explorer and writer, her travels led her into remote areas of Turkey and the Middle East. While living in Baghdad, she explored and mapped uncharted areas of the Islamic world. Hers were some of the first accurate maps of the region. She moved on foot, on donkeys, on camels and by car – camping along the way. Stark is the author of more than 24 travel books, covering local history, culture and tales of everyday life. In spite of age and illnesses, she never stopped travelling. In 1972 she was honoured as Dame Freya Stark! Wow!

Gillian Ayres
In the 1970s, she became the first woman ever to run an art department in a British Art School! When she was older, she moved to North Wales. In Wales, she started to use oil paint again rather than acrylic paint to make her artwork. Oil paint is really thick and sometimes she would apply the paint so it would be inches thick! While she lived in Wales her artwork became even bolder and more joyful.
Gillian Ayres wanted people to be happy when they looked at her art and the world around them. Does her art make you feel happy? What other emotions do you feel?
Gillian Ayres was obsessed with painting. She is one of the most famous British abstract painters. Being an abstract painter meant you didn't care about artworks looking like real things, like people or buildings, but you care about shapes, colours and emotions. Someone asked her once what her artwork was about, and she just listed random things like ice cream, cakes, seaweed, shells and hats!
L.S Lowry
L. S. Lowry (Laurence Stephen Lowry) was born on 1st November 1887 in Stretford, Lancashire.
· Lowry had an unhappy childhood. He wasn’t very popular at school, didn’t have a very close relationship with his parents, and he had few friends.
· The Lowry family moved to the industrial town of Pendlebury in 1909. The landscape was dominated by textile mills and the chimneys of factories, and this imagery left its mark on the young L. S. Lowry.
· Lowry had taken art classes as a child and he went to the Manchester School of Art and then Salford Royal Technical College.
· In 1932, Lowry’s father died and he looked after to his mother. After his mother fell alseep, Lowry started to paint, often finishing at 3 a.m.
· Lowry’s paintings often featured industrial Pendlebury and they captured scenes of life in industrial England. His landscapes are often populated by stylised ‘matchstick men’ figures.
· Lowry didn’t complete many paintings of London. However, his 1960 painting of Piccadilly Circus sold for more than £5 million in 2011.
· Some of his most famous works include: Industrial Landscape, Going to the Match and Coming from the Mill, The Viaduct and The Football Match.
· Lowry became an official war artist in 1943 and he was the Official Artist of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
· Lowry was a massive fan of Manchester City Football Club just like Mr A!

Good morning! This week, we are going to find out about amazing people who have done amazing things. As you read the stories, just imagine what you will do when you are older… all these amazing people once sat in a classroom just like you!
Beatrice Shilling
Born in 1909, in Hampshire, Beatrice - universally known as Tilly - was obsessed with engines from early childhood.
"As a child I played with Meccano," she recalled in an interview with Woman Engineer magazine. "I spent my pocket money on penknives, an adjustable spanner, a glue pot and other simple hand tools."
"From a child she was pulling engines apart. Her real passion was mechanical engineering."
Beatrice saved countless lives by inventing a gadget that stopped planes stalling in mid-air and crashing. Beatrice was a brilliant scientist and engineer.
Stephen Hawking
Arguably one of the world's most famous scientists, Stephen Hawking is known for his contributions Stephen made many important contributions to the world of science. He developed theories about how the world began and furthered our understanding of black holes, stars and the universe. Stephen was always keen for his work to be accessible to everyone, not just scientists. He wrote books that explained his theories in simple terms for everyone to understand, including a children’s book. His most famous book, A Brief History of Time, sold more than 10 million copies! In 1985, Stephen developed a life-threatening infection. He had an emergency operation that saved his life but left him unable to talk. He was given a special computer that talked for him, which he controlled by moving a muscle in his cheek – clever! Stephen received many awards for his work including the 1979 Albert Einstein Medal, the Order of the British Empire (Commander) in 1982 and the 1988 Wolf Prize in Physics.
Stephen is remembered as an inspiration to many people. He had an amazing mind, incredible determination and didn’t let his illness stand in his way.
