Wednesday 15th April – Chocolate Masterchef
Monday 13th April – Fancy a Trip?
Good Morning Everyone.
We know that you would normally be getting out and about during our holidays, visiting exciting places so we thought we’d bring those places to you.
If you would like to take a virtual trip jump aboard and choose a destination. You could investigate the interesting exhibitions at the Louvre https://www.louvre.fr/en/visites-en-ligne; take a tour around the National History Museum https://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit/virtual-museum.html or visit the animals at the zoo through their live cams https://www.kansascityzoo.org/animal-cams/ and https://www.seewinter.com/animals/webcams/mavis-rescue-hideaway-cam/b.
For the more daring, you can even have a go on a virtual rollercoaster at https://hellogiggles.com/news/virtual-roller-coaster-rides/
You might even want to tell us what you have been to see, we’d love to hear. If people visit at different times of the day we may all see different things – I loved the waddle of penguins.

Hi there Discoverers and Leaders,
We have loved seeing your decorated eggs on Tapestry, they have been very creative and detailed. We’re looking forward to seeing more in the run up to Easter Sunday.
Your final task this week, is to build a den. Why is everything more exciting when it’s completed in a den? You can build it indoors or outdoors, and use things such as cushions, throws, sticks, chairs and even any cardboard you may have. It would be amazing if your whole family could fit inside, and perhaps enjoys a story together: You might like to read a story that you have written, or a book that you have at home. We can’t wait to see your creations! Here are some examples:
Lastly, well done for your efforts so far this week, and keep up with the fantastic job you’re doing on Sumdog, we love seeing how well you’re doing.

Good morning everybody,
How did you get on with your exercise challenge? Did you manage to get you whole household involved? I have heard that some of you have been very persuasive with getting everybody to join in, well done!
Today, myself and Mrs Walker thought that you might like a task that is Easter-themed, as it is Easter on Sunday! We would like you to decorate an egg (or anything of similar shape). You can decorate just the egg itself, or you could even create a background for it, and really set the scene. Here are some examples for you:
If you would like to share your results with us, you could upload pictures of your creations on Tapestry.
Thank you
Mrs Taylor and Mrs Walker
Happy Holidays

Good morning Leaders and Discoverers
We have been so impressed with all the things you have been doing with your families this week so, once you have finished off any activities that need completing, we are asking everyone in the school to have a go at telling and writing stories.
Have a look at Mrs Hann’s video of her story cubes and then have a go at telling a story using the cubes to help you. You might want to make up a story to tell to someone else in your family using the cubes and then ask them to tell a story using the cubes too. You will be surprised how many different stories you could make using the same cubes.
If you would like to share your stories with us that would be brilliant; you could video your story telling or write your story, if you wish, and upload it to Tapestry. Can’t wait to see them.
Happy story telling!

Good morning Leaders
April already – where did March go?
It’s fantastic to see you are beginning to upload things to Tapestry, having a go at your challenges. It will be a great way to see your progress. If you haven’t decided on your challenge or I haven’t yet collected your ideas, don’t worry I will be collecting all of them when I speak to your families (or you can post on Tapestry and tell me too!) and then we can put together a list so you call all see what people are doing. I love the ideas I have been collecting so far.
English – It’s time to test those instructions, either try them out yourself or give them to someone else in the family to have a go at – remember to follow the instructions exactly to see if they work.
Maths – Continuing our work on time here are two links to time games that you might want to have a look at.

Topic – Have a look at this short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLce9i2Ci5wand make a list of the similarities and differences between a mosque and our local church in Sleights.
Happy April everyone.

Morning Leaders.
Thank you to those who have started sharing their work through Tapestry, it has been brilliant to see. If you haven’t already you can still sign up by sending an e-mail to Mr Grason – it would be fantastic to see everyone there so that we can keep in touch.
English – if you had a go at carrying out a task yesterday, have a go at writing instructions for that task today.
Maths – look at your timetable and see if you can answer these questions:
Which is the longest activity and how long does it last?
Which is the shortest activity and how long does it last?
How many hours and minutes is it from getting up to going to bed?
Challenge – If you got up half an hour earlier each day until Friday, how many hours and minutes would it be then from getting up to going to bed?
Topic – There seems to be some love of cooking and baking at the moment so I though it might be nice to share a bun recipe. Have a go at baking buns with your family and decorate however you can. http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/28455/plain-buns-with-icing.aspx Take a picture and upload it – I’d love to see your creations.
Happy baking.
Mrs Walker
