Good morning everyone! I hope you’re all ok and had a nice evening.

Today’s work is below. Remember, Mrs Poole and I aren’t expecting you to do the BBC maths and English work and the extra work we are setting (unless you want to that is). Some of you will feel that the BBC work is of a more appropriate level for you and others will prefer what we have set. We are happy for you to choose whichever you feel works best for you or do both if you want extra.

Stilling Time

Following on with our Connecting focus, I’d like you to ask someone at home to do the Follow the Ball activity with you. If you’ve not got a ball, just choose any object and use that. In pairs, one parter holds a ball and moves it around them as creatively as they can. The partner copies, mirrioring the movements. Swap over to repeat. How is it to follow or lead? What was the connection like between you?

Art

LI – to develop drawing or painting skills and imagination.

For those of you who have been choosing to do the English challenge work, today you have written a poem called The Magic Shop. The artwork for today is to produce a detailed and imaginative drawing or painting of your magic shop. Don’t worry if you’ve not done the English challenge, do the drawing or painting anyway. Have fun thinking about all the amazing things that would be inside a Magic Shop. What would it look like? What would the items do? You could always look online for some inspiration.

You will need your drawing or painting of The Magic Shop for tomorrow’s English Challenge so make sure you get round to doing it today.

Have fun!
