Hello Willows!
I hope you are all well.
Look out for the last Super Flower Moon of 2020, tonight - it should be spectacular!
Joke of the Day: Why are fish so clever? Because they live in schools!
Maths Word problem: There are 25 sheep in a field. Eleven more sheep are put in the field. How many sheep are in the field now?
Alphabet word string game: Choose an animal to start with, e.g.' dog'. The next person has to choose an animal which starts with the last letter, e.g. 'goat', then 'tiger' etc... You can play the same game with any theme you like, e.g names of people, plants, clothes, food etc..
If you are lucky enough to have some left over loo roll tubes ( I have used all mine to make pots for my sweet peas!), this is a super activity to do.

Have a lovely day - enjoy the sunshine!

Good Morning Willows!
I hope you are all well. The sun has got his hat on today, so make the most of it! It has been so lovely to see your gardens and where you have gone for your walks. It has been very interesting to see what you are growing. Perhaps someone can tell me why my dwarf french beans and sweet peas are taking so long to germinate, but my husband's runner beans are magnificent! My sunflowers are also still hiding underneath the soil!
Joke of the day: Why couldn't the pony sing a lullaby? Because she was a little horse! ( Another homophone for our collection horse/hoarse!)
Maths Word Problem: I am the smallest silver coin. What am I?
Alphabet Game: Can you think of an animal starting with each letter of the alphabet?
The children love listening to the BBC's Ten Pieces in my assemblies. Check out: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/ten-pieces/ten-pieces-at-home/zjy3382
I have just been sent this email by Young Voices, which looks really exciting, if you like to sing and dance! I have signed up and we are sending the email to everyone in the school. Perhaps you would like to join in!

Good Afternoon Willows!

I have just returned from being in school: it still looks and smells the same, although oddly quiet...
Joke of the day: Why does nobody talk to circles? Because there is no point!
Maths Word Problem: Lily is given five £1.00 coins for her birthday. How many pence is her money worth?
Chain Letters: How many words can you make from the word 'tall', by just changing the first letter?
It was Dawn Chorus Day, yesterday and I found this brilliant site that tells you about the birds in your garden and lets you hear their song - magical!
