Reading:


I hope that you are enjoying reading space stories and information books from your bookshelf at home.

Try to spend at least twenty minutes reading. This can be reading a book aloud or sharing a book with an adult. 

Click on this link to take a look at these facts about space and read them together with an adult.
Planets on Oxford Owl has more facts.
Do you have any questions about space that you could investigate?  You might be able to find the answers in one of your books or on the internet.
                                                                                                                                                                                                   
Writing:  Planet Poster

 Can you research for facts about one of the  planets and then create a fact file or poster?  
You might write about the size of the planet, it's distance from the Sun and from Earth.  What is the planet like?  How hot or cold is the planet?

Handwriting
Year 1

 P.E:
You started the day with some dancing exercise. Maybe you would like to some more exercise later in the day.   
Have you decided what you're going to do?   You might like to do one of the activities below, or maybe go for a walk, run or do some cycling. You could do an exercise routine with Joe Wicks, find a fun activity on GoNoodle or try something new like yoga:  https://www.harrogatessp.com/keeping-all-young-people-active/

Mrs Goss has also put some new Forest School activities on the News Page, that you might like to try.
   

Be kind and help others
Have you done anything to help someone else today?  Try to do a kind act for someone else. It might be to help with something or it might be to do something to cheer up another person.  A friendly wave and smile through the window can mean a lot to someone who is lonely.


                                                                                         
 
The Learning Project this week is Space.  You might find out about our Solar System, the Sun and the Moon.  You could look at life in outer space from the view of an astronaut and travelling through space.  Enjoy your journey through Space!

 Rocket Creation-      
As part of one of your writing tasks, you have been asked to design a rocket.
Can you create your rocket using objects you can find in the home such as cardboard boxes, newspapers and tin foil.
Can you write a set of instructions about how to make the model,  to share with a family member or friend?


Drawing and Colouring Pictures-You might like to create a space themed picture, using collage, paints, pens or pencils.

 If you like colouring in pictures, here are some for you to print:    -t-t-26681-space-themed-mindfulness-colouring-pages-_ver_2.pdf-  

    
 
 
 
Our Solar System-
Think about what you already know about space and create a mind map. Draw pictures and diagrams or write notes on a piece of paper to remind yourself about what you already know.
 
Can you name the planets in our solar system?
Use the Solar System Song  (click )  to create a diagram showing the order of the planets.
Also, here's another song to help you to learn facts about the planets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2prtmPEjOc
You could make model planets using balloons and paper mache.

Astronaut Aerobics-   
Astronauts have to be fit and agile for their missions into space.
Can you design a home workout and put your agility to the test!
You could even use this (click) video to help.
You could then plan a day of healthy eating for the aspiring astronauts, thinking carefully about each food group.

What are Day and Night?-  Watch the video of day and night. (click) 
Then create a poster about day and night explaining why we have day and night.
Play the quiz and see how many answers you can get right!

Tim Peake is a famous British astronaut. (click on his name for more information)
Write the questions that you would ask him if you could interview him.
Pretend to be Tim Peake and ask an adult to read out the questions that you wrote down.
Can you answer the questions in your role as him?
