Good morning everyone, another lovely sunny day! I can't wait to get out there in the sun for a bit.
Fot the last day of the week I'm giving you a slightly different wellbeing challenge today and it's something that always makes me feel happy and a bit better if I'm feeling a bit low.
Today's challenge is to do something nice for someone. Here are some ideas below although feel free to do one of your own ideas!
1. Read or tell a story to a younger brother or sister
2. Tidy your room
3. Do a chore or job for someone at home
4. Give someone a compliment
5. Share a toy or some food with someone at home
6. Make someone a present, picture or card
7. Offer to help an adult with the cooking or washing up
8. Write someone a poem or story
9. Tell someone a joke
10. Phone a friend or send them a nice message
See how many of the 10 you can do and remember to let us know what you have done!
I'm going to do some baking for my husband for my good deed and maybe make him a nice dinner as well. In fact, I might go and take him a cup of tea while he's doing his work! :-)
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Glover

Year 6 I have been back onto Spag.com this morning and it is great to see you completing the set tasks. I had a look through some of the questions on the 'Hyphens, dashes & bullet points (A)' task and noticed you all found number 1 tricky.
In the list below, a word has been spelt correctly, but written inconsistently with the rest of the list. Click and select the incorrect word.
For the trip, remember to bring the following clothes:
• a waterproof jacket with a hood.
Can you spot the error? When you are writing bullet points the rule is they all need to be consistent, that is follow the same rule. For example if you use a capital letter to start the first sentence then all the bullet points below must start with a capital letter and the same if you start with a lowercase letter. This rule also applies to the full stop at the end. If your first bullet point has a full stop then all of them should and if your first one does not have a full stop then the rest should not have one either.
Get it!
Complete the one above and now try this one.
In the list below, an error has been made, one of the sentences has been written inconsistently with the rest of the list. Identify the mistake.
There are many things you can do to keep yourself active and healthy:
• drink plenty of water
• join in with Joe Wicks in the morning to get your heart rate going
• be creative and make something
• eat healthy foods like fruit and vegetables.
CAN YOU SPOT IT?

Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is finding ways to enjoy this amazing weather, I don't think we've ever had such a nice April before!
So today's wellbeing challenge is another way to make the most of the weather and get out in your gardens and do some gardening!
Here are some nice ideas for things to do that you don't really need many resources for: https://www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/grow-plants/10-gardening-projects-for-kids/
I bet you'll already have a lot of the things in your house or garden or you could collect some of them like twigs etc while out on a walk (make sure you wash your hands after if you do that!) My favourite is the fairy garden.
Alternatively you could plant some seeds from something that you've just eatedn such as tomato seeds.
If you don't have a garden then why not design and draw your own garden (or fairy garden!) instead? You could maybe try and re-create it when you're older and have your own garden!
I have a balcony rather than a garden and had never done any gardening until a few weeks ago but below are a couple of pictures of the things I've planted! I'm watering them every day and the sun is making most of them grow nice and tall.
Have fun and remember to let us know what you've done!

Good morning Year 6,
I am sure like me you are really missing your friends- I know I am missing seeing Miss Thornton and Miss Kenwell everyday!
I think that is why I am enjoying listening to the blogs with Miss Thornton reading our new class novel so much so I can hear her familiar voice! Don't forget to look back through the blog for the first 6 chapters of the story....next week she will be continuing the story for those of you who are desperate to find out more about the new boy!
I don't always get time to sit down and read a book to myself especially when I have to occupy the twins so my new hobby is popping in my earbuds and LISTENING to Miss Thornton reading me the book so I can make the tea or do the dishes at the same time!! Brilliant! Maybe you could use your earphones and chill in the garden at the same time and enjoy the story. Remember to get in touch and tell us what you have been listening to and which parts of the story you are enjoying,
Happy Thursday
Mrs Ranyard
Miss Thornton's Science Investigation with Joe Wicks!
Date: 22nd Apr 2020 @ 10:18am
Good morning year 6! This morning I have been doing a science investigation. I have been looking at the effects of exercise on heart rate.
- I checked my resting heart rate to begin with which was 75 bpm (Beats Per Minute).
- Next I started the Joe Wicks PE lesson. By the way I got all of the questions right today!
- After 15 minutes I checked my heart rate to see if it had risen and it was 107 bpm!
- At the end of the session (30 mins in total) my heart rate had risen to 139 bpm. I think it was all the jumping involved getting my heart rate racing!
- Then I wanted to see how long it took for my heart rate to return to normal-this is called resting rate.
- After 5 minutes it had dropped to 109 bpm.
- After 10 mins it had dropped to 86 bpm.
- After 15 mins it had dropped to 77 bpm, which was approximately what my resting rate was originally.
This is a great investigation you could easily try at home year 6. You can watch this morning’s Joe Wicks PE lesson on YouTube and try it for yourself.
Below is an optional sheet you can complete to note down your findings or you can just tell me your results via our email or on twitter-I’d love to hear how high your heart rate went.
