Morning!
The sunshine may have disappeared behind the clouds for a little while, but it does not stop us from getting outside. Wrap up warm and enjoy the fresh air.
How did you get on with the bird spotting sheet? Keep it handy, as spring continues more birds will visit your gardens. A crane landed on my fence on Sunday….I just stood for a moment and watched.

There are lots of ideas on line and with your own creativity we think you will be able to invent your own windmill. Does the size effect how it works? Can you make it out totally recycled materials? What is the optimum thickness of paper? Can you use it to measure wind strength? Are there any other practical uses for your invention?Nature Colour Hunt You could use this template or make your own… Can you find natural things in your garden to fill the boxes. Remember – not to pick flowers or leaves from plants & trees. But you can collect fallen leaves and petals! Remember to WASH your hands when you have finished.

1,2,3 Monkey!
A
new game to try…you will need to recruit a few members of the family! We look
forward to playing this with you when we are back at school.
1, 2, 3 Monkey !
As well as moving around to keep warm this is also brain-gym, which means it helps to get both sides of your brain working.
Get into pairs. Pairs face each other two arms lengths apart, and away from other pairs and any bump hazards.
Practice each stage, so you are familiar with the actions.
Stage 1: couples repeatedly count to three, taking turns to call each number
A “one” B “two” A “three” B “one” A “two” etc
Stage 2: repeat as above, replacing “one” with a clap ~ A clap B “two” A “three” B clap etc
Stage 3: as above but now also replace “two” with the following action ~ both arms up above head, kick one leg out and shout “Hiya!” ~ A clap B “Hiya” kick A “three” B clap A “Hiya” kick B “three” etc
Stage 4: now also replace “three” with this action ~ bend over double at waist, sweep arms down to ground, shout “Cheeky Monkey!” ~ A clap B “hiya” kick A “cheeky monkey” bend B clap etc
See how long you can keep going, maybe switch A & B, so you get a chance to do the other actions.
How could you develop the game? We cannot wait to try your ideas back at school.
Finally…
Mrs Turland’s Veg Patch Watch
Week 2
With a rapid change in
the weather…there is very little to see.
Maybe we will have some green shoots next week. Are you growing any plants?
