Origami is the art of paper-folding. Its name derives from Japanese words ori (“folding”) and kami (“paper”). Traditional origami consists of folding a single sheet of square paper (often with a colored side) into a sculpture without cutting, gluing, taping, or even marking it.
Let’s take a single sheet of square paper to make a butterfly!!!
Enjoy 🙂

We always spread our kindness and love at school by giving a tootle to the people who are helpful, respectful, kind and caring. We even give tootles to all of those who have the power to make us feel happier when we feel sad!
Let’s start our lovely day today by giving a tootle to the people in and around our home who make us feel happy and safe and are always kind, caring and respectful to us!
I am going to give my tootle to my husband who is always kind, helpful and respectful! Also, I am going to give a huge tootle to NHS and all the key workers who work so hard to keep us all safe!
I wonder who is going to get your tootle…
Leave your tootles below as a comment! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Smoothies are a great way to eat frest fruit and vegetables!
Fruit and vegetables contain vitamins and minerals that help us keep healthy. We should eat at least five serves of vegetables and two serves of fruit each day.
Choose three fruit that you like the best. Ask an adult to help you and put them in a blender. Add some milk into the blender and blend all the ingredients together.
Tips: Bananas will make your smoothie soft and creamy. If you want your smoothie icy cold, you can put some ice cubes into the blender, too. If your smoothie is very thick add some more milk.
Post a photograph of your smoothie and share your recipe with us!
I am thinking of adding some honey and cocoa powder into my smoothie, too!
Enjoy!

1. Reverse the Words
This is a simple code to solve – just read the words backwards! Even though it seems simple once you know the secret, it can be a hard one to figure out when you don’t.
2. Read Every Second Letter
Read every second letter starting at the first letter, and when you finish, start again on the letters you missed.
3. PigPen
The PigPen code is easier than it looks and it is my favorite. First, draw out the two grids below and fill in the letters:
Each letter is represented by the lines around it (or pigpen).
You can practice to write your name and silly words before moving to coding whole sentences.
The letters and messages you can write can be fun, but make sure you send along a key so the recipient can figure it all out!
Let’s spread our love with a secret message!

Spring is here!A variety of different butterflies visit our gardens looking for food, places to breed, or spots to overwinter as adults, larvae or pupae. Each garden will attract a different set of butterflies depending on the plants, trees and shrubs present, and what the surrounding habitats are like.
I wonder if we can attract more butteflies with our butterfly feeders!

The mindfulness jar is a very good tool that can help us to express our feelings. The glitter in the jar represents our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. When we feel upset or angry, we can shake the jar and watch the glitter move around before gradually settling. As the glitter settles to the bottom of jar, we can relate that to our mind settling too. The cultivation of stillness after the swirling and chaos subside is quite effective.
These jars can also be used as a visual timer for short mindful breathing exercises. Many people prefer to take a few breaks during the day to gather themselves and depart from their everyday tasks.Using a mindfulness jar to time these shorts breaks is a great way to allow yourself to focus on the break and relax.
Have a lovely mindful day!!
