This Week's Top Idea!
Have you ever felt worried? There are lots of things that can make us worried, even without having school closure – we may worry about homework, or our friends, or even what our new neighbours will be like. We like this idea from Cosmic Kids, it helps us to recognise when we are worried, and reminds us that we don’t need to let our worries take over.

The following sections show just a small selection of your work. You can work directly from this page and also from your worksheets.
English
I would love to hear about some of the activities that you have been enjoying over the Christmas Break. Did you receive some gifts? Have you been sledging? Built a snowman? Write a recount of some of the activities that you enjoyed using first, then, next and add a picture.
Challenge: can you use ‘and’, ‘or’, ‘but’ to extend your sentences? Can you use an exclamation mark?
Maths
On Monday, in school, we started thinking about shape – we talked about a lot of shapes, but only two dimensional ones (2D). In the video, you will learn about 3D shapes.
R.E.
In R.E. we are beginning to explore the idea of special people. This week we are thinking about the people in our family, our school and our local community. There is a story to read together on your worksheets and, afterwards, can you draw or paint a picture of someone who is special to you?
Topic
On Monday we looked at Google Earth and zoomed in on lots of cold and hot places on Earth.
We found the North and South Poles and we also talked about the Equator. Click here and be an explorer and spend some time exploring the world yourself. Look for hot and cold countries. Can you find Africa? How about Australia? Look for the oceans too – can you remember their names? What about the continents?
And finally...
We have thought a lot about 2D and 3D shapes this week in maths and we have looked for evidence of shapes around us. Can you finish the week with some junk modelling? Send us your photos if you do.
