Good Morning everyone!
This term we are going to take part in The Great Science Share for Schools which will hopefully inspire you to think about and talk about science. Each week there will be a new theme to focus on with investigations for you to get involved in, as well as a ‘Question Maker’ to help you think of creative ways to ask great questions. You can print this off or just create your own!
You can then share your scientific questions and investigations with me either through your class Teams page, or by emailing your completed investigation into school. You can create a poster, write about it, draw it, take photos, or anything else you want to do to share your findings.
The theme this week is ‘International Dawn Chorus Day’ where you are encouraged to get up early and listen to the birds singing in the morning. I’ve certainly heard and spotted many more birds around than normal! I also managed to make a homemade bird feeder out of a recycled plastic bottle which you could also try (although my one was quickly destroyed by a squirrel).
You can think about what time of day do you see the most birds? What types of birds can you see near you? Can you identify any the birds you see or hear? Can you see and hear different birds on a walk than you do at home?
Below is a link to the Great Science Share page which gives you some ideas for your investigation (You also get a sneak peek at the themes for the coming weeks ahead – ssshhh)
Have fun bird spotters!

Good luck!

Good morning,
Today is the start of our Athletics block in PE. Over the next 5 weeks, we will be practising different events for our Sports Day which will be held during the first week in June. Even if we aren’t back in school for that week, we will have a Virtual Sports Day! More information about Sports Day will be released closer to June.
This week’s Athletics is all based on the Long Jump. This worksheet has the key points for a successful long jump, a link to a long jump video and 6 activities to develop your strength and jumping. Make sure that you don’t just try everything once, spend time practising each day so that you are ready for Sports Day.
Remember to be active for at least 60 minutes a day.
Here are some ideas to keep you active.
Remember at least 60 minutes of activity a day!

You are doing an awesome job in PE. Keep it going!
Mr. Millar
Hello everyone, I hope you had a fun and active Easter holiday. This week in PE we are going to be improving our balance and control. This balance and control work grid has different tasks that will test and improve your ability to balance when you are standing and when you are moving. By the end of this week, you should have completed at least one full stage from the grid so make sure you practise every day.
Here are some things to remember when you are practising.
Balance is important for all sports. Think about how balance is important for a sport that you like to play. You could draw a picture, make a poster, make a list or tell a family member why balance is important for that sport.
It is also important to make sure that you are active every day. At least 60 minutes a day!
Here are some ideas to keep you active.
Remember at least 60 minutes of activity a day!
