Good Afternoon

I hope you enjoyed this mornings activities.  This afternoon I would like you to try this ball challenge,

Numeracy

Choose a number and then write it as many different ways as possible – Can you think of different ways you can add up to make the number?  What about different ways to represent the number using drawings.

Here is an article with lots of examples of the different ways you can show numbers.

Science

Hello Everyone  – We have a fresh challenge for you this week! This week we are building a table. Now like last week you can build it anyway you want. If you want to make it with lego that is ok, or if you want to make a proper table with adult supervision that is ok too. It is your challenge and it is open to how you want to express it. However the way I would like you to make it, is with paper. I would like you to get 4 bits of paper and make 4 tubes to make the four legs. I would then like you to put a large thin material across the top of the four legs. Once you have your table start putting weight on the top. Books are good but you can use what ever you like to add weight.
So to make it clear – 4 bits of paper into tubes, something across the top of the table that is strong and light and thin (like a hard back book). Then add some weight. As an extension please take a photo and measure how much weight the table can hold. I wonder how much it can hold?

Interview a member of your family.  Try to think of what you would like to know about them and write down or record your interview.

Mindfulness – Waves on the ocean

Lie down or sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Put your hands on your tummy and close our eyes. Feel your hands moving up and down in time with your breathing. Pretend your hands are a ship rising and falling on the waves of the ocean.

Mindfulness and Meditation

Sun breath

Lie or sit on the floor with your eyes closed. Picture a bright shining sun smiling at you. Feel the warmth of the sun on your face. Imagine the sun warming your shoulders and arms, your legs and feet. Lie or sit and enjoy the warmth of the shining sun. Gently stretch your arms above your head and open your eyes.

Hope you have a lovely weekend and stay safe.

Good Morning

Here is a fun activity to start your day!

Write a set of instructions for an activity you have done over the Easter holidays – this could be a game you have played, something you made or built.

Checklist

I have used capital letters and full stops.

I have used step by step instructions, using first, then, next and last.

I have written clear short sentences, in an order that makes sense.

I have included a picture or diagram.
