This week, Ellie-Mae has been taking part in the 60 second active challenges. She managed to get an incredible 49 throws in 60 seconds for the clap and catch challenge! She also extended herself and put her skills to the test by adapting today’s obstacle challenge and completed it while balancing a ball on a spoon.

Well done Ellie-Mae! It’s brilliant to see you keeping active and challenging yourself.

You’ll be perfectly prepared for the exciting virtual sports festival (where you can compete alongside other schools) that will be launching on the school website next week!

Weekly challenge

Naabea has completed this week’s challenge and created an excellent, interactive cereal design! It’s very creative and clear that she’s put a lot of thought into it. She’s created a catchy name, considered the quantities of the ingredients and even included some 3* reviews to show customers how great her product is.

Thank you Naabea for sharing your brilliant design with us!

Keep sending updates and photos to:

A message from the children in school

After seeing our staff video message, some of the children in school wanted to write messages to their teachers, classes and family members. We really enjoyed putting this video together. There were a lot of laughs and retakes involved! Enjoy!

Lockdown song challenge

Lockdown has been something totally new for all of us. It has never happened before in our lifetimes. You must have been experiencing an extremely different way of life so I thought it would be a good opportunity to write a song.

Challenge
1) Write lyrics to a song all about lockdown. Think about what has been happening in the country (e.g. shops, schools, family time…).

2) Come up with a rhythm for your song. Maybe include rhyme to help you? You could always write a rap.

3) If you’re at home, perform your song to your family. If you’re at school, perform your song to the other children in school.

Please send a photograph of your lyrics to me at rebecca.richards@taw.org.uk along with your name and your base. I can then add it to your year group’s page.

I am excited to see your lyrics!

VE Day music and drama

On VE Day, the children learnt Makaton for the song “We’ll meet again”, quoted Winston Churchill and released planes to symbolise the end of the war. We were extremely impressed with how much the children cared about making this day special. Well done!

60 Second Active Challenges

Are you up for the challenge?

Each day this week I’d like you to have a go at a 60 second active challenge. Time 60 seconds and see how high you can score! What personal best can you achieve? Can you even achieve bronze, silver or gold?

Monday: Around the World Challenge Miss Whitehouse’s score: 36 (I used a pillow)

Tuesday: Tuck In Tuck Out Challenge Miss Whitehouse’s score: 17 (tired legs now!)

Wednesday: Catch and Clap Challenge Miss Whitehouse’s score: 38 (I used a teddy)*

Thursday: Step Ups Challenge Miss Whitehouse’s score: 32 (try to get into a rhythm)**

Friday: Obstacle Challenge Miss Whitehouse’s score: 29 (now to tidy up!)

Keep a record of your score each day (or ask an adult to) then share with me how well you’ve done. Can you set a record for your year group?

I’ll update the post each day with my score. Can you challenge me?

Email your name, base and achievements (and photos as I’d love to see you in action!) to: april.whitehouse@taw.org.uk

Stay Active! Stay Healthy!

* for the catch and clap challenge I used a balloon first and scored 29, so I tried using a teddy to challenge myself and got a new personal best!

** I tried this 8 times! My personal best was 32 and my legs couldn’t physically move up and down the step any quicker! I’m very curious whether anyone can achieve silver (or even gold) because my tired legs are telling me that it’s impossible!

Weekly Challenge

This week, we would like you to create a new cereal design!

As our topic this term is Fairtrade, we would like the cereal to be Fairtrade. Here are some ideas of what you could do:

Design the packaging of the cereal – think about a brand name, slogan and interactive box design
Design the cereal – think about the Fairtrade ingredients that you would use
Make the packaging and cereal

I’m sure you will all have lots of other ideas too!

Here is an example of an interactive cereal box.

Happy designing!

Home updates

Miss Morgan and I have received some great photos from Harley and Sophie showing us some of the lovely things they’ve been up to.

Harley looks very proactive balancing his outdoor time with his indoor learning! He’s been keeping fit doing PE with Joe, using Twinkl resources to practise his maths skills and then putting his gardening skills to the test out in the sun!

Sophie has been making the most of the sun with her little sister. They’ve been baking some cakes and going for nice walks with their dog. It’s lovely to see your happy faces.

Thank you both for sending in your fab photos- we love seeing what you’re all up to!
