Home Learning for 21.5.20
Good morning everyone!
Here are Ruby’s gorgeous hamsters, Buzz and Millie. They are very sociable and will come to the front of the cage when you call them, especially if food is involved! Probably a bit like you guys if I had food at the front of the class! 🙂

Mental Health Awareness Week
“Compass and its traded arm Positive Effect have teamed up to deliver free ‘Wellbeing Wake-up’ sessions for primary aged children, parents/carers and education staff via our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXumjginrAvOILD-1PkJF_g/
These bitesize sessions will be based around the 5 ways to wellbeing; connect, be active, take notice, keep learning and give. Each video will include a short explanation for adults on why it is important to promote wellbeing, followed by a ‘wake up and shake up’ for children’s minds and bodies to become focused, finishing with a interactive activity that can be carried out with the child and adult at a convenient time.
Another ‘Wellbeing Wake -up’ video will be uploaded today – please check it out!

Three-day creative task:
Here are some creative activities to get you warmed up:
Shading Circles Activity Sheet
Shading Objects Activity Sheet
Drawing Texture Activity Sheet
I want you to create your own view finder:
Just simply fold a piece of paper or card in half and then cut out a square on the fold. Open it back up and you should have a cut out square in the middle of your paper.
I want you to the use this to place over any picture you like! Your job is to draw everything you see in the viewfinder and nothing else. The picture you draw should fill the paper you are drawing it onto so you are getting all the little details.
