There are some basic ways of moving that are in everything we do.

The fundamentals of movement include three main things;

Moving in different ways - e.g. walking, running, hopping or jumping. What you do to stay in control when you move - e.g. bending or twisting. Controlling other objects - e.g. catching, throwing or kicking.

The Summer Reading Challenge, presented by The Reading Agency, is delivered in partnership with public libraries and funded by Arts Council England. The Challenge encourages children aged 4 to 11 to enjoy the benefits of reading for pleasure over the summer holidays, providing lots of fun as well as preventing the summer reading ‘dip’.

Each year the Challenge motivates over 700,000 children to keep reading to build their skills and conﬁdence.

This year, the Summer Reading Challenge’s Silly Squad will celebrate funny books, happiness and laughter. Children taking part in the Challenge will join the Silly Squad, an adventurous team of animals who love to have a laugh and get stuck into all sorts of funny books!

The Summer Reading Challenge website is free to access and features games, quizzes and downloadable activities that incentivise and encourage children to take part in reading related activities. Although public library buildings are closed, libraries will continue to deliver the Challenge through virtual services and e-lending platforms.

There is lots more information on the website.
We look forward to finding out how you have got on in September.

Your garden can be an amazing place to discover wildlife and experience nature. There's so much for you to do on your doorstep: look for shooting stars, make a wild crown, get to know colourful birds or watch furry caterpillars. You can even help the animals who come to visit by building them a new home. Here are our top '50 things to do before you're 11¾' ideas for embracing nature in your own back garden.

No. 3 Camp outdoors

Your back garden can become a place for a wild adventure when you pitch a tent and stay overnight. Camping in your back garden means that you can sleep under the stars and try and spot a constellation, or listen out for hooting owls. Sleep under the stars

No. 16 Wear a wild crown

Your imagination's the limit when you make a wild crown. Twigs, daisy chains, leaves, flowers, blossom, grass and other wild materials found in your garden can be used to create a masterpiece. You could even create one that an imaginary character would wear. Create a wild crown

No. 25 Join nature's band

A couple of stones and a tree stump can double up as drum. A blade of grass makes an amazing noise when you know what to do with it. Birds singing make a beautiful dawn chorus, and even footsteps can make great percussion noises when you dance around. Make music with nature

'50 things to do before you're 11¾'

Have fun exploring nature and the great outdoors with our list of '50 things to do before you're 11¾'.

Either use the template provided, draw your own or if you have an empty jar/box you could use that.
Keep on adding to it throughout the year. If you have a day where you feel sad or worried, you can take out one of your notes.

Remember it is always good to talk with someone if you feel that you are unhappy. It can be with a trusted friend or adult or a charity such as Childline, NSPCC, Mind, YoungMinds. They have useful websites and helplines with lots of information as well as people available to listen or give support.

Last week you were researching packaging for some of your picnic items. Today you need to have a go at making the packaging. I'll attach an example of a net in case you're not sure of where to start.
Remember
-to think of the shape and size of your food item
-create tabs that will allow you to stick 2 pieces together
-do any drawing or colouring on to paper/card before you start to fold and stick
-include product name and a list of ingredients
-Create a nutritional label. For this you could have a rectangle split into 5, label each with the names of the food groups and then colour red/orange or green depending on what is in your product. For example if it has some lettuce but not much and no other salad, you would colour it orange.

We will hopefully also be seeing some of you for the morning and I think the Year 2's also get a chance to be in school during the morning.

Whilst you're at home, you can enjoy the day doing something with your family. If you wish, you can see if there is anything that you haven't managed to complete this week.

Have a look at the Summer activity column for some things for you to do over the holidays.

We would like you to take part in the reading challenge as well as think of a person for our class name. Details for both of these are in the Summer activity column.

Most importantly, have a wonderful Summer holiday!

Hopefully you have planned a healthy picnic lunch for next week. Now you need to think about packaging. Have a look at some supermarket websites and search for items that you want to have for your picnic.
For example, if you've decided one of the items will be a ham sandwich, look for a pre-packed ham sandwich and look at what the packaging looks like and at the nutritional value table that is displayed.
Think about;
-colour and pattern/picture on packet
-title of product
-brand of product
-is nutritional value table colour (red/amber/green) or not?
-shape of packaging
Use the example below for an idea.

You will not be buying all pre-packed items, but need to design packaging for your items as if you were going to sell them in a shop.
Look at the nets below to start to think about how you will construct your packaging when you make them on Monday.

Task 5. Create it
The jungle that the old man dreams about is filled with beautiful exotic animals, plants and trees. If you
were to create a place of your dreams what would it contain and what would it look like?
1. Would it feature real objects, people and animals, fantasy elements or a combination of both?
2. If it did feature fantasy elements what might these be?
3. How might you incorporate your favourite things into this place?
4. How might you describe what it is like to someone else?

Create your own dream setting. Depending on the materials you have available to you, you might choose to draw, paint, collage or make a 3D version of your place using an old shoe or cereal box and any items you might have around the house such as, buttons, bottle tops, paper clips, coloured paper, pipe cleaners, old magazines, newspapers or pieces of material.

Write a description of your dream place for someone else to read. Display your writing alongside your
creation.

Task 4. Imagine it
Think about the jungle the old man dreams of. Answer the following questions, making short notes for each to help with today's task.
1. What do you think it would be like to be there?
2. Aside from the creatures that have already been mentioned, what else might you see?
3. What do you think the creatures there might be doing? How might they move? What sounds might you hear?
4. What might it feel like to be there?

Now imagine you have stepped into the jungle and write a description of what it is like as if you are there, so that someone else can sense what it is like to be there.
Think about the way that Helen Ward used adjectives to describe the creatures and think how you might be able to use these and other descriptive language to bring the jungle to life for someone else.

Read your writing to someone else at home. Could they picture the jungle in their mind from your words?

3. Re-read the text without reading the adjectives, e.g. just read ‘He dreamed he lived in a jungle full of animals. There were birds,
trees, flowers…’. How does the jungle sound now?
4. Now read it again as it is in the text. What impact do the adjectives have on you as a reader?
5. Where in the world might you find a jungle like one the old man dreams of? What is the climate like in a jungle?

Task 2. Illustrate it
Try to picture the rest of the old man’s house for yourself, what does it look like from the outside?
Is it a large house or a small house?
Is it rich and colourful like the jungle?
Where is the house located?
Is it in a street full of other houses or does it sit by itself?
What is the area around the house like? Why do you think this?

When you have a clear picture of the house in your mind, take some paper and a pencil and start to draw what you see in your mind. Before you begin, think about the following questions;
What colours will you use?
How will you arrange the house on the paper?
Will you draw it from the inside or the outside?
Will you draw just the rest of the bedroom or the whole house?

Share your drawing with someone else and tell them about what you think the old man’s house and
life might be like.
