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.
