Hello,
How is everyone? Did everyone manage to do some good home learning last week? Remember if you would like to get in touch and tell us how you're doing (we'd absolutely love it!) then please e-mail your home learning address and the teachers can pass on any messages.
Today's top tip:
As well as English, maths and reading, why not do a bit of daily music too?
Myleene Klass is doing daily music lessons at 1pm on this Youtube channel:

Well, we've made it through our first week - well done ! 
Tomorrow ,it's the weekend and we can relax after all the hard work we've done this week.
Top tip for the weekend :
Try and make your weekend a bit different to the week days; take a break from school work, watch a film with your family or play a board game.
You could try making your own board game using a cereal box like these ones I found on the internet.
Have a lovley weekend !
Health and wellbeing challenges from Mrs Glover
Date: 27th Mar 2020 @ 2:57pm
Hello, Mrs Glover here!
I hope everyone is staying safe, having fun and working hard on your learning. I'm going to post a Health and Wellbeing Challenge every day for people to do if they choose to. I'll be doing them all too and posting pictures where I can. Please feel free to e-mail any pictures or comments to your home learning e-mail addresses!
Challenge number 1: Go on a mindfulness walk. Write or draw 5 things that you can see, hear, feel, smell or touch (make sure you have an adult with you if necessary and stay far way from people you may see when you're out, although you can still say a friendly hello!) You could even do this in your garden if you have one!
Here's a picture of my mindfulness walk that I went on at lunch time today!
I saw trees and water, I heard birds and rustling, I could smell different plants and I could feel the sun on my face :-)

Have a look at BBC Bitsize https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize . The website is free to use and has lots of clips and clever ways of explaining things we might find tricky in our school work. It will help you persevere and finish the question or piece of work you were stuck on.
It also has fun games to play to practise skills such as spelling,maths and grammar!
