We hope you’ve had your breakfast and you are ready for today’s learning.
Here are your daily physical and mindfulness activities for you to try.
Physical activity: Today’s skills are based around cricket (although these skills could be also used in other games). Chance to Shine have now produced five skills based sessions to follow at home.
Mindfulness activity: Try a different activity from Mindfulness for Children Challenge. These activities can support our Living and Learning statement for this week, I recognise mental health is important.
Task 1 reading
Firstly, spend ten minutes on Lexia (if you can access this at home).
Today, we are looking at another image from Pobble365.
She turned in the saddle and looked behind her. Emma could see the others gaining on her.
Digging in her heels, she whispered some words of encouragement in the ostrich’s ears as it burst into full speed. They were making good time, but there was so far still to go…
1. Look closely at the picture and read the text. Then, answer the questions below.
2. What thoughts do you think are going through Emma’s mind?
3.Where do you think Emma is?
4.What do you think it would feel like to ride an ostrich?
5.How do you think the ostrich feels about being ridden?
6.What might be the title for this image?
Challenge: Imagine you can see through Emma’s eyes. What can she see behind her? Draw/describe what you have imagined.
Task 2 maths
Start your maths learning by joining in with this fractions based Super Movers song.
In our fractions learning today, we move onto learning about thirds.
White Rose Maths – Week 2 Lesson 1 Recognise a third
1. Watch the video and complete the activity sheet (on a printed copy or write the answers in your learning book).

Challenge:
Task 3: science
Our new science topic is all about plants.
1.Watch the following video as an introduction to this learning.
2.Today you are going to be plant detectives. If you have a garden or when you have your daily walk, we want you to have a plant hunt. Look out for different plants and notice where they are. Remember trees are plants too.
3.Record some of your findings – you could even get some photos of the species you spot. Here’s an example plant identification guide to help you to name the plants you find.
Challenge: Can you name the plants we saw on our walk at the weekend?
Finally, todays’ alternative activity, that you might want to try out at home, is touch typing. Keyboard skills are important to develop and Dance Mat Typing teaches this in a fun way.
