Good morning, everyone. I hope you are well and enjoying the second ‘Health and Wellbeing’ week.
As our Numeracy focus is still ‘Time’, I have made the following Sway on the subject of the 24-hour clock. I hope you find it useful.
There is also an activity to convert analogue times into 24-hour digital times, and some links to websites featuring a variety of follow-up activities to practise your time-telling ability.
Don’t forget to save any work to your Seesaw class journal, or write the answers in your jotters.
Last week I posted a poem on the subject of mental wellbeing. This week’s poem focuses on Personal and Physical Wellbeing. First, read the poem or listen to the audio clip, then answer the questions in my Sway. You may need to do a little research in order to answer some of them.
Being healthy
Mum says I have to brush my teeth
In the morning and at night.
They look and taste much better
But I hate it when she’s right.
Dad says I have to take a bath
And wash my body well.
I do feel nice and clean and fresh
But now he’s right as well!
My brother says I have to wash
My hands to keep them clean.
He’s right, my fingers feel so good
Without dirt in between.
My sister says I have to eat
Some vegetables each day.
She’s right, I have more energy
To run and walk and play.
I feel more healthy and I’ve got
Much better teeth and skin.
Don’t tell them that I think they’re right –
I hate it when they win!
Gillian Craig
Listen to it being read aloud here.
Now answer the questions. As always, don’t forget to write in complete sentences (not one-word answers) and check that you have included capital letters and full stops.
This is week 2 of Health Week and for languages we have a special activity for you with the help of Ms Rees. You will learn some words related to food in French and Spanish since this week our focus will be Healthy Food/Sports. This is followed by a challenge we thought you would enjoy lots!

Yesterday we talked about our ambitions and dreams something we could reach for in the sky.
Today we are going to look at the skills and qualities we have ourselves to help us reach that target. Have these discussions while you are taking the time to look at the sky.
To reach the ambition in the sky, we are going to need wings, your wings are made of words that the meaning relates to you.
Follow the steps below in the sway to complete part 2.
Remember this can be a drawing activity too and also send in your work to your teacher through seesaw or email.
We are looking at Counting In on the grids this week. This could be counting in 1’s 2’s 5’s 10’s 3’s and so on.
We can start from one and focus on counting on from there or you may like to challenge yourself and select a number in the 100 square and start from there.
Follow the sway below for an activity idea you can do at home. There is a variety of ways you can do this jigsaw style art. I have just given you the instructions to follow one method.
Remember that if you complete this activity to take a photo and send it to your teach via email or seesaw.
These extra activities are on the Sports Day grid.
These are my ideas!
Please share your snack recipes with your class teacher and we will create a ‘Sports Day Cookbook’.
One of the activities on the Sports Day grid is to make ‘Sports Day Medals’. We are surrounded by people who help us, love us and want us to succeed. I think some of these individuals deserve a medal!
Today we have launched our Sports Day grid, in preparation for whenever you decide to tackle our grid it is important to warm up and cool down when taking part any exercise.

Music can have such a positive impact on our mental health. Today, I challenge you to find a piece of instrumental music.
First of all, what does it means for a piece of music to be ‘instrumental’? Let us know in the comments if you find out!
Second, how does your piece of instrumental music make you feel?
In the Sway below, you will find a video of me playing my guitar to one of my favourite pieces of instrumental music – ‘Ocean’ by John Butler. I am playing my 12-string guitar and I’m a bit rusty, but this is a song that always makes me happy and relaxed when I play it.
