Missing my minions !!

Hi again guys :) 

Gosh week 5 ! Can you believe it ?  I Thought I  would put a picture of our classroom door on so we all don't forget what each other look like :)  Hope you are all  still keeping well and enjoying your time at home.  What new things have you been doing this week?  This week we have been having a 'bake off' with some neighbours in our street. So far we have had deliveries of ginger cookies, scones and  chocolate orange fudge cake:)  needless to say I enjoyed tasting them all :)  We have baked some for them to enjoy too!  My favourite to make was banana bread, so easy and so yummy :)   Have you been doing any baking?  This weeks home learning focus is 'food'  maybe you could choose a new recipe you would like to try and ask a grown up to help you ?  There are some quick and easy ideas here : https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/collections/10_easy_recipes_for_kids  Don't forget to write instructions for your recipe too!  Maybe you could even write a review after you have eaten it, like a food critic ?  I would love to see some photos too so if you would like to you could ask your parent to send a photo to my school email address and I can put them on the blog for your classmates to see!  I will put the email address on the letter to your parents on the blog.  

Maybe you could choose your  favourite food and write an acrostic poem about it?  Have a look at this to remind you of some features of an acrostic poem first.  https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t2-e-998-recognise-some-different-forms-of-poetry-acrostics-teaching-powerpoint  I'm sure you will come up with some great ones!   One thing I am trying to do this week is make sure I am eating a healthy balanced diet ( and not too many baked goods:)  Maybe you could help me by creating a poster about healthy eating and what a balanced diet is?  I would love to see pictures too!  

I have put a link on the parents letter for your maths learning this week from the white rose maths site, carry on with tt rockstars too, the leader board is close! 

I am sure you have all seen the wonderful 'Captain Tom ' in the news who will be turning 100 years old at the end of this month!  He has raised an incredible amount of money for the NHS !  Lots of people have been sending him birthday cards so Mia and Daisy are going to make one to send to him too, maybe you could do the same ? Imagine how pleased he will be :) 

This week I will be phoning each one of you to speak with your parents and maybe have a chat with you ? Just to see how you are doing and to say hello because I miss you all so much!  It would be lovely to hear your voices and catch up :) 

I hope you all enjoy the rest of the week and I will see you all soon :)  

Love and hugs as always 

Miss Moran and Mrs O'Connor
