Hey everybody. Today I was on holywood teams speaking to Miss Dale and my classmates. We spoke about what we got for Christmas. I got an Nintendo Switch with Luigi’s mansion, Animal crossing, minecraft and the ringfit adventure. I got lots of board games and clothes. I got Monopoly, Cluedo, Tipping point and Pictionary Air. I like Monopoly because I won the last time I played it. Ive been doing some work on the Stars Wars apostrophes and my maths and five a day maths too. By Esmae

Hi

It’s Rhys today I have made a PowerPoint on global warming.  I think that global warming is a serious issue that needs to be taken seriously and do something about. I have emailed my PowerPoint to the school.

Hi everybody,

At the weekend I did the we did the RSPB garden bird count were you count all the sightings of birds that land in your garden. Here’s a picture of us doing it.

Yesterday I went on my regular dog walk and took these photos of things I found interesting.

I did my reading questions.

Good Mental Health is important. We all have days where we feel better than others. When we face a challenge this can test out mental health. At the moment staying at home and not being allowed to visit family, friends and school is a huge challenge!

Sleeping well, making healthy balanced food choices and exercise are all daily ways to improve your mental health.

Here are some other ways for parents and pupils to manage their mental health:

 

Have you found other ways to improve your mental health?

Catching up with my sister on the phone while we have a cup of tea or watching Pooch Perfect with my Mother in Law on Facetime are just 2 ways I’ve found. Small changes which make us laugh and make us feel more positive.

Phone school for a catch up 01387 720326 –  I’ll be very happy to stop and have a cuppa and a catch up!

Stay safe and well,

Miss Dale

 

I have done some writing.

Hi Everyone,

As it is National Storytelling Week, I’d like to explain the difference between storytelling and reading.  You CAN tell a story by reading  a book.  But storytelling began long ago, before books were even written.  Stories were passed on by word of mouth, by dance, by acting out. Sometimes props were used to help the storyteller show their audience what happened. Sometimes the props were an aid to remind the storyteller what to say. (When you’ve watched my film you can tell me what my props were, so that I didn’t forget!) Story sticks were a way of remembering the story of a journey. Even bees tell stories – when they return to the hive they dance a story to tell where the best flowers are for pollen to make honey.  Because stories were mainly spoken they would often be very slightly different every time they were told. Like a recipe, passed on through the generations or to friends, everyone adds their own tasty ingredient or takes out the bits they don’t like. And that’s ok, as long as the main idea of the story is kept.

So, when telling a story, sometimes it’s good to read a book and show the pictures. Pictures are a great prop! But sometimes when telling a story it’s  good just to retell the story, in your own words. The parts that were exciting or interesting to you are the parts you remember best. Those parts become the parts you pass on to your audience in an exciting and interesting way and that’s what they will remember, to pass on to the next person.

You can tell true stories that really happened to you. Or you can tell someone else’s story. I hope you enjoy the story I tell in the film. It is part of a bigger story, by one of my favourite authors, Douglas Adams.
