Good morning boys and girls,

I was wondering if anyone was spotting lots of birds either in your garden or if you are out for some daily exercise?  I have a bird bath in my garden and the birds have really been enjoying it last few weeks.  I am not sure if it’s always this busy and I just don’t get the chance to see it when I am at school or if the birds have been extra thirsty and wanting a nice cool bath with the recent nice weather. I also have 3 funny squirrels that visit every day!  What bird and animal life can you spot?

Something different for today- a special video message from all the Muir Street Staff:

Love from all the staff at MSP  xxx

You should receive details about moving onto Glow Teams in the post this week and we will move onto this next week.  We will then be able to chat online at specific times and you can have online chats/conversations with other children in our class.  I am really looking forward to hearing how you all are!

A note to parents/carers-

The suggested activities are just that suggestions, participation is at your discretion, complete if you can and find it appropriate to do so.  Many of you will have your own work to do at home and it can be difficult to juggle both.  Please remember both you and your child’s mental health is most important during this difficult time.

Some suggestions for this coming week:

Please refer to the grid for daily suggestions for Literacy and Numeracy.  Other curricular areas can be completed if this works for your family.

Art and Design

Use lines to create a patterned back ground. Colour the background if you would like to make your design more attractive.  Then using a variety of recycled or new paper create shapes by cutting out to make the body parts for a bird.  Glue your bird or birds to your patterned back ground.
