Today’s suggestion for Health and Well-being came from Maureen, thank you Maureen.
She has suggested that we have a Pinewood cake making competition!
The competition would be open to Pinewood students and staff and the rules are that the cakes have to be home made or home decorated and you have to send in a picture so that we can all see them. We will ask someone who knows a lot about cakes to be the judge!
The competition will run until Friday 24th April so there is plenty of time to practise your baking skills and to take a photograph of your best bake.
In the meantime why not watch an episode of junior bake-off for some cake-spiration!
This is the link to this weeks story and here is the work to go with it. There are also activities in our Group 10 challenges for the week (these can be completed several times in the week)
It’s Monday! Wakey, wakey! Let’s start with a good morning song.
Calendar –
Let’s play a favourite learning game – ‘Wall Touch’
Write days of the week on pieces of paper. Place the pieces of paper around the room or blu-tac to the walls. Everyone stands in the middle of the room. Someone shouts out a day of the week and everyone races to find it and touches it. Repeat for other days of the week. Mix the cards up and try again. Have fun!
Movement –
Check out the movement section for some ideas. How are you all getting on with Joe Wicks?
Life Skills –
Help out with doing the dishes today. This is one of our classroom jobs.
Maths –
Let’s continue with money.
Make a money caterpillar. Can you add up the coins? How much is each caterpillar worth?
P.E.-
Check out our P.E. section. Gerry and Pedro have put some great active ideas on here. I’m going to have a go myself.

Here is the colour wheel:
Here are some attempts:
Have a good search around your house. Have a family competition. Who can make the best colour wheel?
Outdoor Learning –
Here’s a little challenge for a walk today. As you wander around your estate or garden collect items to record your journey. What can you find that nature has provided? Tie them to a stick to help tell your journey story. Was it fun? Were you happy? What did you find? Did you find any feathers? What animal did they come from?
HWB –
How are you all getting on with brushing your teeth? Are you remembering to reach the tricky bits? Set a timer for 2 minutes each time.
Challenge of the Day –
Find 8 things in your house that begin with the letter ‘b’
Sensory Room is a lovely little app from Inclusive Technology. Explore the different sights and sounds just like a sensory room in real life. It is free to download from the app store.
I hope you enjoyed the previous 4 days of movement with Joe Wicks. Today we will continue with Joe for Movement Monday.
Again this will be a short 5 minute activity to set you up for the day. You still have the option of using the cards and you can download these to help with the video should you wish.
Its important that you do what you can and adapt any exercises where appropriate. Over the coming days we will add more videos and possibly some alternatives.
The objective is movement therefore don’t stress to much if it becomes a struggle. Just allow the children to move and do what they can for those 5 minutes. The clips uploaded are just a guide.
