  - Maths, Reading & Writing Tasks - check the details below for your learning tasks this week

Remember - please do not email or 'share' the documents with your teachers, just attach any documents or photos to the relevant assignment, click on the Turn In button, and then that means any of your teachers can find your work easily and give you feedback on it.

Your other learning tasks are written below.

Lockdown Diary: Keep a diary detailing one part of each day over Lockdown. There is a document on Ms Melton's Google Classroom to write it on, or you can use your homework book for this.

Have your ten spelling words tested daily. This helps with the retrieval of your words from memory and your learning.
Your final test is on Friday and any word you have incorrect becomes part of your spelling words on Week 2.
Find the meaning of each word you are learning and write it beside your spelling word.

Mindfulness

Spend 10 minutes each day in a quiet place. Centre yourself - straight spine, soft belly. Make sure you are comfortable.
Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Just like we do in class. Focus on each breath and track it as it goes in and out. Notice your breathing and remember that if your mind wanders, you just silently say ‘wandering’ and bring all your attention back to your breathing.
Let yourself sit, breathe and just ‘be’’.
Doing this each day will help you stay calm, relaxed and peaceful - just like it does in class!

Learning Through Play & Life Skills

Choose an activity from the 42 Challenges sheet in your learning pack. How many can you complete?
Help with the cooking - make a recipe you haven’t done before.
Clean / sort / organise / tidy something - check with someone at home first to make sure you’re allowed to do it!
Weed the garden.
Tidy your bedroom.
Do the laundry - wash, hang out to dry, fold, (iron if you’re allowed or need to) and put the clothes away.

If you want more learning, you could look at the Optional Learning Tasks and Competitions link and give some of those a go.

Let Mrs G know how you get on!
