We think a positive mental health is very important, especially during a challenging time such as this.
Children can find regulating their emotions independently quite challenging, therefore we have gathered some ideas to support their mental health as well as teaching them how they can regulate their feelings, thoughts and anxieties.

Let's keep our brains and minds healthy!

Sometimes, when we feel anxious, scared, angry or overwhelmed with a range of emotions our bodies make us react. Sometimes it can be difficult to know how to calm ourselves down and focus on other things.

Attached below, are some breathing technique cards that can help us focus on our breathing which supports our calmness. Focusing on breathing can distract you from the overwhelming emotions you may feel or allow you to simply focus.

Having time to focus on our minds keeps our minds and brains happy an healthy. Meditation can provide an opportunity for this. During meditation our mind can empty our thoughts in a calm and relaxing environment.

Please choose when you want to make your cake.  We want to allow flexibility.
You can either make it before you write the instructions so that you have a sequence of what you did and can follow this when writing the instructions so you know what happened.
Or
You can write the instructions before you make the cake and then follow these whilst making the cake.
We will allow time during the week when one subject will be removed so that you can either catch up with learning in this session or bake during this block of time.
Once you have made the cake please send in photographs along with the category you think it fits.  Please also show off the cake during either the morning or afternoon zoom sessions.

As we are focusing on instruction writing, ready for our recipes, it is important to understand the features of this type of text.

There are two worksheets- you do not need to complete them both. They are there to suit your child's confidence in their learning.
Orange- not so confident. Use the time conjunctions at the bottom of the sheet to complete the instructions. You can also think of your own if you want to challenge yourself.

Are you a teacher?

Clicking 'yes' will take you out of the classroom and to our Teacher Hub, a dedicated area for teachers to access our resources.

In this lesson, we will learn the different types of rolling movements that can be performed safely in our home environment. We will learn how to link these movements with the basic balances. We will also think about how exercise makes us feel. Please note this lesson will require some physical exercise and additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper. Please see the equipment slide near the start of the lesson video and make sure your child is adequately supervised when equipment is required. Parents and carers are responsible for ensuring that children follow the correct safety advice provided at the start of this lesson and the instructions the teacher gives during the lesson. Parents and carers are responsible for supervising activities where required and for seeking medical advice in advance if your child has a medical condition that may prevent them taking part in physical activity.

Click on the play button to start the video. If your teacher asks you to pause the video and look at the worksheet you should:

Click "Close Video"

Click "Next" to view the activity

Your video will re-appear on the next page, and will stay paused in the right place.

Can you use the marking ladder to self-assess against the features of instruction writing?
If you have noticed that you may have missed something, can you edit and improve your writing?

We are very impressed with your recipes and how you have followed them to create some delicious cakes. Remember that even instructions need capital letters at the start of the command sentences.
