HELLO FROM MRS DICKINSON, MRSARMSTRONG AND MRS DENNIS
• We hope you are all ok. We miss you all lots but we are glad you are safe in their own homes.
The book of the week this week is ‘Snail Trail’ which links to our
topic ‘Creepy Crawlies’.
• We have seen some fantastic examples of home learning on class dojo and via our class email
fs1@glebeacademy.co.uk
• On the maths and literacy activities in the pack there are three colour coded activities.
Orange activities are the easiest ones to do and then the Green activities are slightly harder.
The Blue activities are then extra challenge for their children. Start on the orange ones and
work their way through to their child's own ability.
• You will also find this information on our website where you will then be able to download it if
you wish to alongside a list of useful links.
MINDFULNESS AND KEEPING HEALTHY IDEAS FOR THE WEEK…
• Monday - Belly Buddies: Get the children to lie on their backs and place a small stuffed toy or a small objects (such as small bean bags or wooden block) on top of their belly buttons. Encourage the children to take deep breaths in and out and watch the toy move as they breathe.
• Tuesday- Shark fin: This will help the children to calm down when their minds and bodies may be fighting against them. First place the side of their hand on their forehead, with their palm facing out to the side. Then get them to close their eyes. Slide their hand down their face, in front of their nose whilst saying “shhh”. Try to do the 5 ‘S’ (Sit up straight, sit still, sit silently, soft breathing, shut eyes.)
• Wednesday – High 5: Can you get your child to do these actions? Do 1 star jump, Turn around 2 times, Clap your hands 3 times, Stamp your feet 4 times, Jump up and down 5 times.
• Thursday- Chore time: Help your adult to complete one chore with them. Can you help to hoover the floor or pick up your toys? Send a message to us via email or dojo to get a helping others dojo!
• Friday- Breathing Hands: Try this to help your child to calm down. Spread one hand out like a star. Use the index finger on their other hand to trace the outline of their star hand. Now encourage them to take a deep breath in as they move to the top of their thumb. Breathe out as they move down between their thumb and first finger and take another breath in as you move to the top of their first finger. Repeat until you have taken five slow, deep breaths.

Once you are confident that your child can do that ask them to put the shapes in height order starting from either the biggest or the smallest you can mix it up.
Can you compare objects?Have your child look at the pictures in the boxes below. Ask
them who is bigger?/who is smaller? If your child is able to answer correctly, try getting them to create a sentence about the size difference. I have added
some examples below. The mouse is smaller that elephant

DAY 5: R.E• Ramadan is an important event for Muslim people.
It takes place in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. This calendar is based on the moon.
• During the month of Ramadan, Muslim people will fast. This means that they cannot eat or drink
anything between sunrise and sunset. Muslims believe that fasting allows them to think about other
people and their actions. Young children and older people are not expected to fast, although
sometimes, they do. Iftar is a very important meal during Ramadan. This is the time when Muslims will
break their fast and are able to eat again.
• Eid al-Fitr is the festival that marks the end of Ramadan and the fast. It lasts for three days. The
festival starts when the new moon is seen in the sky. Saying prayers is an important part of both
Ramadan and Eid. During Eid, Muslims thank Allah for the help and strength he gave them when they
fasted.
• Muslims take part in many activities to celebrate Eid like speaking to their family, buying new clothes
and decorate their hands with henna designs.
Can you make a Eid card for a friend who
may celebrate Eid in your class?
Muslim people will say ‘Eid
Mubarak!’, which means
‘Have a blessed Eid!’.
DAY 5: HEALTH AND WELL BEING Can you explain how you feel after exercise?
Before you start, look at your body and answer these questions.Are you sweating? Is your face red?
Are you breathing normally? Does your body ache?
Are you thirsty? Put your hand on your heart, how does it feel? Is it beating fast or slowly?
You’re ready to start! Complete the exercises below thinking about the questions you have just answered after each exercise. Why not send us a picture over on Class Dojo once you’ve finished.
We’d love to know how you got on!
