Friday 3rd July
Good Morning Class One! Well done for getting through another week!
I am so impressed by your perseverance and hard work throughout the last few months, well done everyone! (Thanks Mums and Dads, we are almost there!).
We have an exciting week next week!
We are having a whole-school Enrichment Week,
on 'Mindfulness'.
We will be focusing on well-being, transition,
challenges we have faced and positives
we can draw from Lockdown.
Here is today's puzzle.
How many triangles can you find?
How many shapes can you see that have four sides?
Here's letter 'P', if you would like to practise this today.
Make sure you start at the top and follow the arrow down, up and round.
(Link to the letter formation sheets at the top).

Maths
Today we're going to have a look at 2D shapes and explore what they can do.
Follow the link below and experiment with the shapes.
How many can you name? How many sides do they have?
What happens when you put 2 triangles together?
What happens when you rotate a square?
Can you re-build some of the pictures or make your own?

And to finish off a busy week...here is an episode of the Octonauts.
It's called Operation Deep Freeze.
Our Projects
The project this week aims to provide opportunities for your child to learn more about transport. Learning may focus on modes of transport, transport in the past, the science behind transport, road safety and how to be safe around water.
Make Paper Planes
● Make paper airplanes using this guide:
https://www.foldnfly.com/#/1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2
Ask your child/ children to come up with a name for their airplane and write this on the side. Have a competition to see whose airplane will fly the furthest/ highest. You could ask them to create a certificate for the winner. Take a photograph of the winning plane to share your success and upload to Twitter at #TheLearningProject.
Traffic Lights
● Play the traffic light game- Ask your child to help create a set of traffic lights. This could be as detailed or simple as you like. Ask your child to run around the garden/ outdoor space. When you point to a colour on the traffic light they have to do the following: ○ Red- Stop or freeze where they are ○ Orange- Walk slowly ○ Green- Run You can extend this by adding in different colours or actions e.g. when you bounce a ball on the ground, they have to jump up and down.
Make a Boat
● Follow the instructions make your very own origami boat:

● Collect different materials from around your house. Paper, yoghurt pots, cereal boxes, tinfoil cake tins. Which objects make the best boats? Which boat will carry the most coins or marbles? You could float these in a paddling pool, in the sink or in the bath.
● Give instructions to guide each other around the house/garden i.e. forward two steps, turn left, forward two more steps.
● Can you support your child in drawing a map to show the way around the house?
Learn to Ride a Bike
● Support your child in learning to ride a bike. They could even do an obstacle course to help develop their control or have races to improve their speed.
Have fun, Class One and remember to look after each other!
Take care, love from Mrs Hebblewhite, Fred the Ted, Croccy and Boris xxx
