Good morning everyone!
I hope you all have had a great weekend and enjoyed the sunshine. The weather is meant to be taking a turned this week and the flowers are due to be getting a refreshing shower! This might mean that you are spending a little more time inside. Try to record your weekly adventures in your red book and let me know what you’ve been up to.
This week our theme will all be around designing a useful tool or machine. The first step is to come up with lots of ideas about what you want your machine to do for you.
Some activities you could do today:
Bug Club! If you can do one thing today, please log on to Bug Club for reading and phonic activities.
Maths. Have a go at the Doubles activity. When do you use doubles? Where can you see doubles?
What different tools do you use throughout the day? How do they help you? Is there anything you would like to be made easier? As you go through the day try and think about some sort of tool or machine that would make whatever you are doing there and then easier. Share your ideas with the people around you. Try to think of more than one way to solve the problem. Which is the most effective way?
Use the Creative Project Plan to design what your your project will be. Ask your family what they might make. Their ideas might help your own!
Yesterday, it was meant to have been the 40th anniversary of the London Marathon which wasn’t able to take place. Instead, people all over the country have been taking on the 2.6 challenge where people have been taking on different challenges where they 2.6 minutes, 2.6 miles, 26 of something… Some people have taken on doing activities such as 26 star jumps, 2.6 minutes of non-stop dancing, 2.6 mile walks… I decided to do a 26.2km run which was a big challenge to me as it’s the longest run I have done this year! What will you challenge yourself to do today? Send me a photo and let me know!
Warm wishes
Miss Hall 🙂
