There is no video to watch today as we would like you to complete the end of block assessment. Remember you can use a number grid or other resources to help you but you must try to work out the answers by yourself! Once you have completed the assessment please take a photo of each page and email them to our class email: RB@westbury-inf.wilts.sch.uk

As a school we are going to be creating a new wildlife area. Your task today is to design what the wildlife area might look like. Think about how you will make it feel calm and relaxing for everyone to enjoy. Will there be any features such as a water feature or seating area? How might you attract wildlife into the area? You can be as creative as you like. When you have finished, it would be great to see your designs. You never know, you may find some of your ideas are chosen when the wildlife area is created for real!
Story
Today's story is called "You're called what?!" by Kes Gray. This week we had Safer Internet day. We were thinking about information on the internet and that sometimes we have to check to make sure something is true. It is really important that we don't just believe everything. In this story there are some wonderful, and slightly crazy, named creatures. Can you guess which ones are true?
Well done for all your hard work this term. You now deserve a well earned break! Our new topics will start on Monday 22nd February 2021.

Topic
Group 1 - Today, you are going to be doing some observational drawings/painting. This means that you have to look very carefully at the object in front of you and draw what you see as realistically and as true to life as possible. You may want to paint your picture once you have drawn it or you may choose to use colouring pencils or pens. However you decide to complete your picture, try to use the correct colours for the object you are studying.
People who help us: Firefighters, Lesson 2 of 3
Group 2 - On Friday, we are going to be cooking a delicious dish from one of the four countries: England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. Today, we would like you to look through each of the recipes and decide which one you would like to make. Once you have made your decision, we would like you to write a list of the ingredients you will need. You might need to check your kitchen cupboards to see whether you have any of the ingredients already. If you are unable to make one of the recipes above then don’t worry – perhaps you could practice your mixing, rolling, chopping, slicing and cutting skills using playdough or maybe even out in the garden using mud and water to make mud pies.
Story
This week Miss Salmon has found lots of lovely stories to share with you to help us celebrate Children's Mental Health week. She has also suggested some different activities that you could try once you have listened to the story.

Hello Bears, as it is Children's Mental Health week this week, we would like you to draw a picture of something that makes you feel happy. This could be just one thing or several things that make you feel good. We are going to ask you to share these drawings with us during our assembly on Wednesday so remember to bring them with you.
Let's get those bodies moving to get us ready for the day ahead.

Monday 1st February
Good morning Bears! We hope you have had a lovely weekend.
This week is Children's Mental Health week. It is a really tricky time for us all at the moment; home learning, missing school friends and having to stay at home as much as we can. It is easy to start feeling a bit fed up and so it is important to find ways to take care of ourselves. One really brilliant way is to move our bodies. This helps us to feel happier!

Afternoon
Before we start our topic activity, let's take a quiet moment. In a world that is busy, and a bit strange at the moment, it's even more important to take some time to breath and rest.
You could also try Rainbow Breaths to help you feel calm. Maybe it would be nice to do these as a family?
Topic
Group 1 - In today's lesson you will be finding out about the role of a firefighter. You will then be drawing and labelling a picture of a fire engine. Use your phonics to help you to write your labels and if you don't know how to write the whole word then just try writing the initial sound of each word.
People who help us: Firefighters, Lesson 1 of 3
Why not finish today's session with a story from Topsy and Tim.
Group 2 - Having visited all four countries in the UK and having learnt a little about each, you are now going to take a quiz to see how much you remember. Grown ups, we would like the children to answer these questions by themselves. Please read the questions to your child and give them the three options but encourage your child to circle their answer by themselves. Could you then take a picture and send it to us using the class email RB@westbury-inf.wilts.sch.uk. Thank you.

You could also try to include some larger but lighter items like an empty cereal box and some smaller but heavier items like a stone. Before they compare two objects, ask them to predict which they think will be heavier and why. Encourage your child to use the language: heavy, light, heavier than and lighter than. They do not need to record anything but a photograph of them weighing the different objects would be great!

Group 1 - This afternoon, your two learning objectives are to use language to imagine and recreate roles and experiences in play situations and also to introduce a storyline or narrative into your play. As a starting point you could take on the role of one of the emergency services. Watch this episode of Topsy and Tim for one idea. You could make some emergency vehicles out of Lego or design and make some small puppets of firefighters or paramedics etc. to help you tell your story.
Group 2 - This afternoon you are going to be thinking about the different seasons of the year and how humans adapt to them. If the Powerpoint doesn't pop open automatically, please check for a pop up at the bottom of your screen (you will be able to open it from here).

Before we start our learning for the day we wanted to remind you that we have lots of extra activities as well as our daily RWI, maths or topic. Remember to log on to Reading Eggs, Maths Seeds and Oxford Owl. There are lots of fun activities to complete, as well as some fabulous books and stories to read.
If you fancy getting physical to use up some energy don't forget you have your skipping rope. This is a great time to get outside into the garden and really challenge yourself! If you need to be busy indoors you could check out Cosmic Kids or GoNoodle for some yoga or workouts. Home grown ups, we'd love photos of any of the home learning or busy things the children are getting up to. Remember to email us on our class emails.

Topic
Group 2 are going to be looking at seasons this week. We have already learnt all about Autumn. Now we are going to think about the next season, the one we are in now, Winter. We had a few flurries of snow over the Christmas holidays. Maybe we will see a bit more wintery weather over the next few weeks.

Story
Finally after working so hard it is time for a story. This is always our favourite part of the day. We can't wait to share lots of wonderful stories with you over the next few weeks.
Today's story is called Elmer in the Snow by David Mckee, a great story about fun in the snow!
