Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby...

The words we’ve sung together,
Our voices all as one
Now we need your pictures to accompany our song

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true
So paint yourself a rainbow

Make the colours bright and strong
And at the end of your rainbow
You know what needs to come
Draw your pot of treasure

What you would like to find
It could be friends or family
Whatever’s in your mind
It might be a polished pebble,

A shell found in the sand
Or a tiny daisy’s petal
Or a feather that you’ve found

It could be love or kindness
A world that’s full of peace
A dewdrop in the garden
Or a sumptuous feast

There is no right or wrong for this
Let your imagination go wild
Let the treasure be your dreams you dream
And help us all to smile

Someday, I’ll  wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

So paint your rainbow picture
With treasure of your dreams
And send it by the 3rd of June
For all of us to see

Norfolk and Waveney are marking ‘Mental Health Awareness week’ by celebrating all things kind at their virtual ‘Festival of Kindness’. From the 18th- 24th of May their social media will be filled with events- music- talks- activities for families and well-being advice.

They would love to hear about kind things that have happened to you that we can all celebrate. It could be the smallest gesture that made a huge difference, something you have remembered for a long time or something that happened very recently.

Maybe you or your family could submit a poem, artwork or photo around the theme of kindness?
Maybe you want to send a shout out to someone who is particularly kind or someone that you want to make smile?

Send them a message via social media or email marketing@norfolkandwaveneymind.org.uk

Find out more information on their website, here.

This week our story is ‘A Squash and a Squeeze.’ Miss Wright needs to find a container that will hold more food for the old lady’s animals. Can you count with Miss Wright? Which container holds more?

Can you try this at home? You will need some different containers and food such as pasta or rice. See if you can write the number using our number rhymes- for example “down across then down some more, that’s the way we make a 4!”

Charlie Challenge- let’s estimate how many cups of food we will need to fill the container. This means that we need to look at the container and guess a number before we find out the answer! Was your estimation correct?

We’d love to see some of your pictures on Tapestry!

Listen to Mrs. Sheppard as she reads a story all about feelings. The book describes and explores the many feelings children experience in their life.

Hi everybody,

Have a look around you while out and about for your daily exercise. What different houses can you see? Do they look the same? When you get back, have a look at your home. Does it look like the others you have seen?

Can you follow Miss Wright’s instructions to make a junk model of your home? You could use recycled boxes, wrapping paper, tubes, bubble wrap or anything else you can find!

We’d love to see your creations on Tapestry!

Have fun 🙂

Lyrics

What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, sayin’, “How do you do?”
They’re really sayin’, “I love you”I hear babies cryin’, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more, than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
