It can be difficult to get kids up and about at the best of times, and especially if you are all stuck at home. 'Get Kids Moving' is a fantastic way to put the fun back into fitness. It gives you the chance to train along side your favourite superheroes, train like a Jedi, or practise your wizarding skills, from the comfort of your home.

Plants need air, light, warmth, water and nutrients to be healthy. If they are healthy, they can continue making their own food through photosynthesis. Most healthy plants are upright with green leaves. Click on the link below to find out how to keep plants healthy. 

Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding. ‘Ori’ is Japanese for folding and ‘kami’ is Japanese for paper. However, Origami  originally started in China.  In 100 AD the Chinese invented paper and the invention spread to Japan around 600 AD along with the art of paper folding. Due to the scarcity of paper, Origami in ancient times was used only at special occasions. The paper was formed into animals, costumed people and ceremonial designs with special meanings to them. The forms where often, but not always, made from square pieces of paper, and always a single sheet.  Follow the instructions  or watch the video to make an Origami tulip or lotus flower.  Remember to email a photograph of your flowers to [email protected] or upload them to our class blog.

Good afternoon Class 3, this Friday is the 75th Anniversary of VE Day. VE Day takes place on 8th May, commemorating the same day back in 1945 when the war finally ceased. On that day, people from across the globe flocked to the streets for parties and get-togethers, enjoying their freedom for the first time in six years. They also danced in the streets, played games and had lots of fun. I have attached some activities that I thought you may like to try, maybe you could organise a VE Day party for your family in your garden.
