Can you try Miss Wright’s challenge and go on a “heavy” or “light” hunt? See if you can write a “h” for the “heavy” objects and an “l” for the “light” objects. You could use kitchen scales, or you could have a go at making your own scales!

To make a set of DIY balance scales, all you need is:

– A children’s clothes hanger with notches – 2 x paper cups – String – Scissors

1. Cut two pieces of string equal in length.

2. Make two separate holes in the cups and tie the string through the holes to create a handle.

3. Hang the cups over either side of the clothes hanger.

4. Hang your scales from somewhere that they can swing easily.

Don’t forget to take a picture of your hunt and put it on Tapestry!

Today we’re celebrating the launch of our new school topic all around growth. Join in with Mr. Cross at home, as he teaches you how to create two unique pieces of art. Don’t forget to share your learning with your class teacher on Seesaw, Tapestry or Google Classroom.

I hope everybody has enjoyed their first week of home learning. Here is a story for you to listen to over the weekend. See you next week!

Join Miss Compton counting her magic seeds. How many do you think she has? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UICZs5YWHq4

See if you can count some seeds or your toys at home. Can you write down how many you have?

As part of our learning over the next few weeks, we will be making a ‘bean diary’ where we will record how the plant has changed each week. If you had a go at planting runner beans at home, you are welcome to draw your own plant in your bean diary!

You will need paper, a pencil and some coloured pencils.

Have a look at the picture of the runner bean. What does it look like? Can you draw the bean in ‘week 1’ of your bean diary?

Charlie challenge: can you think of a word to describe the bean? Have a go at writing the initial sound next to your picture (for example, ‘s’ for small).

Please upload a picture of your runner bean diary to Tapestry and come back next week for an update on Miss Wright’s runner bean plant!

Listen to Mr. King as he reads one of his favourite stories Flat Stanley. It’s a the simple tale of Stanley Lambchop, an ordinary boy who has the misfortune to be squashed flat by a cork notice board.
