We will begin our day as always, with our morning prayer.🙏🏻

Maths🔢
Yesterday you kick started your maths work by practising the days of the week and months of the year. Today we are going to focus on the Seasons.
How many seasons are there?
There are 4 seasons. The four seasons — winter, spring, summer, autumn.
It is important that you can name the seasons and their characteristics.
Jack Hartmann is here to help you! He is back with another catchy song. Enjoy!
How did you get on yesterday with reading the calendar? It is a very important skill that you will use throughout your lives, especially when you are a grown up.
I like to mark important dates on my calendar. First I always like to put in peoples’ birthdays so I do not forget. I also add in any holidays I have planned and any appointments I need to go to.
Calendars are very useful! Keep practising reading the calendar in your house.
Round the clock ⏰
Yesterday you were learning about clocks!
You now know that a clock is a device that tells the time.
How many different types of clocks did you find in your house?
Today you are going to learn even more about the analogue clock.
Before you can tell the time, it is important that you learn all about the different parts of the analogue clock.
Let’s learn about the analogue clock with Jack Hartmann.
Here is a picture of an analogue clock:
An analogue clock is a circular-faced clock.
There are twelve numbers on a clock. As you can see the numbers one to twelve are around the outside of the clock. These numbers represent the hour.
The clock has two hands. Can you notice the difference in their size?
The hour hand is the short hand.
The long hand is used to measure minutes.
Here is a little song to help you remember the difference between the short hand and long hand on a clock.
Now that you know about the main parts of a clock, it’s time to make your own!
Today I challenge you to make your very own clock face! ⏰
There are lots of different ways you can do this. Let’s get creative!
First you will need to find something that is a circular shape and draw around it. This could be a lid or plate.
Write the number 12 at the top and the number 6 at the bottom of the circle. Can you write in the rest of the clock face numbers?
Now put a dot in the centre of your circle. Well done! Now you have a clock face.
What else do we need? 2 hands!
Can you find 2 things that could be the hands of the clock? You could use spoons, pencils or straws but remember, one has to be longer than the other.
If you would prefer to make your own paper clock, I have included a template for you below.
I would love to see a picture of the clock you have created. Please send a tweet or email me a picture.
Why don’t you finish off your maths work with a fun game of Whats the time Mr Wolf? Have fun! 🐺
BEWARE! Mr Wolf loves DINNER TIME!🐺 🍽

We have all been enjoying the lovely sunny weather recently and it has been great to be able to get outside and play. Even though it is important for everyone to enjoy the sun we have got to remember that it can burn your skin. There are three important steps to stop sunburn:
• Cover up with clothing and a hat
• Spend time in the shade,
• Wear suitable sunscreen and apply it often
In the attached sheet the character in it is out in the sun with no hat!!! I would like you to design a hat for the character and make sure it offers suitable protection against the sun.
Or if you want to make a more detailed design on your sun hat why not click on the link below.

R.E.🙏🏻
When we pray it is important to remember a few simple things. Prayers can be simple thoughts and words coming straight from the heart. Sometimes God doesn’t seem to give us what we pray for. Do not give up praying – keep on talking to God and listening for he knows what is best for you, even if it is not what you expected. It is also important to remember that we don’t just ask God for things we want. Remember to praise God and thank him for his goodness, to tell him about ourselves and others and say sorry if we have done wrong.
Why not join in with this hymn Alleluia Alleluia Give Thanks to the Risen Lord below to praise God:
I would like you to write out a short prayer thanking God for all the wonderful things you have in your life. I have included a template below for you to use or you can design your own.
Please send us a copy of your picture at gw13mceleneylauren@glow.sch.uk or Tweet us @St_BarbarasPS.
Also as it is Thursday again let’s remember to praise (thank) all NHS workers tonight at 8pm by clapping and making as much noise as you can for them.👏

Aria-Rose has been very busy working on her very own fairy garden project. She up-cycled an old barrel. Isn’t her fairy garden beautiful? Well done Aria-Rose!
Darragh’s clock hunt was a great success! Look at the amount of watches he managed to find in his house. Amazing work Darragh!
