Thursday is our story writing day. Today I would like you to write a story all about elephants. Perhaps you go on a trip and find some wild elephants, do they need your help? Perhaps you are there to make a documentary all about them now that you know some elephant facts. When your story is finished you could draw a picture to show what happened in your story.
When writing your story remember
Today you should also be revising your tricky words and phoneme. Normally we would have a spelling test on a Friday, perhaps this is something you would like to do tomorrow?

You could also include a background. You might like to add colour to your picture, you could do this with paint, pens, pencils or whatever you have at home. Remember that you are the artist and it is up to you to decide how you want your final picture to look.

Begin by looking at your phoneme and tricky words. Choose a different way to create them today. Also remember to read your reading book as much as you can (and any other books/comics you enjoy reading).

If you’re not able to print then instead I would like you to draw a picture of a park with a slide, climbing frame and seesaw, and then ask your grown up to read the instructions below.

Mindfulness is a tricky concept to grasp. It could be looking out of the window in the morning to see what the weather’s doing, and to help you know what you need that day. If it’s raining outside, you know you need an umbrella. If you’re feeling stormy inside, you can ask yourself what you need – maybe that’s to be on your own for a bit or to ask for a hug or to do some exercise.
Take a few minutes to lie down in a quiet place and think about your senses. You might focus on just one today and focus on another one next time.
| Notice six things that you can see. Cast your eyes around and bring your attention to six things you might not normally notice. Choose something you wouldn’t ordinarily pay attention to, like a shadow or a small gap in the blinds. |
| Notice three things that you can feel. Bring your awareness to these three things you are currently feeling, like the texture of your socks, the feeling of the breeze on your skin, or the surface of the floor you are resting your hands on. |
| Notice four things that you can hear. Try to listen carefully to the sounds around you. What can you hear in the background? This might be a bird singing, the low hum of the television or the sound of people outside. |
| Notice one/two things that you can smell. Tune your senses into smells you might not normally notice, even if they’re pleasant or unpleasant. If you’re outside the wind might be bringing some scents to you. |
| Notice one thing that you can taste. Concentrate on one thing you can taste right now. You might take a sip of water, enjoy some fruit, eat something, notice the current taste in your mouth. |
