I hope you have all managed to have a lovely Half Term break and you are feeling ready to get going again with the home schooling.
The most important thing is that children are happy and safe!
Please don't feel any pressure to complete all of the activities below...
Do what you can manage, be kind to yourself and remember it is OK to have days that just don't go to plan!
If you need me for anything at all, my email address is l.rawding@carltonminiottacademy.org
I promise I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can.
To our lovely little ones...
Me and Miss Costick have been missing you all so much over the past couple of months. I know working from home can be super tricky at times
and that it can sometimes feel more difficult to get jobs done. Just remember, this time will not last forever and we will all be together again
soon! In the mean time, spend precious time with your families, try new things, spend time outdoors, keep active, be creative and most
importantly keep on smiling! I am so proud of each and every one of you!
Some cute animals dressed as pirates to make you smile...
Let's keep going and supporting the amazing Joe Wicks!
We will be keeping up our fitness regime and completing the Joe Wicks' Daily HIIT workout most mornings this week!
Alternatively, if you fancy something a little more relaxing, you could always try Cosmic Yoga.
Log in to Oxford Owl.

Children should spend 20 minutes completing Early Bird maths activities independently. They can use objects or
drawings to help them too! When they finish, go through their answers together.

On their voyages, pirates developed a disease called 'Scurvy' which made their skin turn yellow and made them lose all of their teeth...
This was because they didn't eat enough fresh fruit and vegetables while out at sea!
Fruit and vegetables have lots of vitamin C in them which is super important for keeping us healthy.
Today, create your own delicious fruit or veg smoothie to top up your vitamins and cool you down, it's a super sunny day!

A colourful talking bird would have been very expensive, so pirates stole them along with other valuable treasure!
