Good morning Group 11!

I hope you had lovely holidays. We managed to chill out a bit.  We painted our shed and a bit of the fence before we ran out of paint. We got out for a couple of walks.  We made a cake for the Pinewood cake competition.  We decorated our window with an Under the Sea theme. We also did lots of singing and dancing.

It feels very strange not to be at Pinewood this morning.  I miss you all.   Lauren, Jackie and Rose Ann all miss you too.

You could try some of the following today:

Movement: put your favourite song on and dance like no one is watching.  We are going to use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvkvWqpS3LM and have a conga.

Life Skills:  Help sort out the washing.

Maths: See Steve’s blog or use https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/zrnbwty

PE:   See Pedro’s blog or try https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/z2hs34j

Story: Read your favourite book or listen to one of these stories.  https://www.storylineonline.net/

Signing: check Lorna’s sign of the day video.

Art: See Steve’s blog or try drawing your own Superhero characters.

Outdoor Learning:  Use your phone or tablet to take pictures of outside.  Send your best ones to me.

Have a lovely day, Kirsty

Hello Everyone. I hope you’ve all enjoyed your holiday from school work and have found some fun things to do.

I have been reading, doing some sewing and getting outside for some exercise. I have loved seeing the new lambs in the fields and they have made me feel very happy.

I love this song too

What has made you feel happy? Was it a game you played,playing outside or maybe having an Easter egg?

Draw a picture of what has made you feel happy and say what made you happy and why.

Perhaps you could send me your pictures?

Community

Today we would have been out in the community if we had been at school.

Instead I want you to go outside and see how many signs you can see.

It might be a road sign, a traffic sign or a bus stop.

What do the signs say?

What do they mean?

Take a photo of anything you see.

Look at the other blogs for more learning and don’t forget sign of the day and of course Maths.

Have fun!

Clare
