Good morning Dragonflies,

We had a fab day in school yesterday getting ready for bubble groups to return 😊 I then managed to run home just in the nick of time before the storm began!

Today is a special day for the Harry Johnson Trust which Mrs Johnson runs: its Harry Day. Do you remember we had a Bake Off last year?? There were some amazing cakes baked in bright green or frog-shaped! I seem to remember selfies too!  If you can today, I have one request for Harry Day: do something today that makes you or others smile and laugh! Please send me any evidence too by Friday 19th June! 💚🐸

Here are today’s other activities:

Lesson 2 of 5: Story Writing

Other ideas:

Science:

Task 1: Look at the foods on this sheet: Different foods

How could you sort them? Can you sort them in two different ways?

Task 2: Read and understand the sheet attached; Food Categories It tells you the different food groups you should know and what each food group is beneficial for.

Can you sort the foods from Task 1 using the food groups?

Task 3: Here are some solutions: Food Groups and examples

Task 4: Think about the foods you have eaten and will eat later today.  Record your food diary and think about how much you’ve eaten of each food group. Have you had a healthy balanced diet? This video below helps to show how much you should eat of all the different groups.

A healthy balanced diet

I have tried to strike a healthy balance of food during lockdown but admittedly, I’ve not always been very well behaved! A lot of my school work has involved more sitting at the computer than usual too. Plus, the sunshine made me eat too much ice cream!  However… I’ve also done much more exercise to create a good balance and it has kept me healthy. I’m proud of the healthy balance I’ve managed to create and fit this in around my school work to give me some active breaks.

So if you see me out running, be sure to know I’ll be enjoying a Crunchie ice cream later in the day (it’s my current fave!)

How healthy is your diet and lifestyle?

Have a great day – sending you all a virtual hug for Harry Day 🐸

Miss Whit 🙂

Good morning Dragonflies,

I hope you’ve enjoyed your weekends. The thunderstorm yesterday was impressive – the thunder seemed to crackle endlessly over us! Can you remember what causes thunder and lightning?
