Daily Challenges: Thursday 30th April

Hi Team Barnes, 

What a wonderful Wednesday yesterday. The weather may have been rubbish but I was blown away by the amount of challenges sent in on the Padlet and by email. There was definitely a lot of posts yesterday! Go Team! 

Maths:

Counting: Can you count how many jumps you can do in 20 seconds? 

Challenge: Can you sequence the events of your day into morning, afternoon, evening, night time.  

What time do you.... 

Brush your teeth 

Have a bath 

Have your lunch 

Get dressed 

Go to bed 

Watch tv 

Go for a walk 

Eat breakfast 

Wake up 

Have a story 

Can you make a timeline for the different activities you do in a day. Can you draw the different events in your day? Can you label them?

Use the pictures from the attachment too if you would like. Cut and put them in order. You could also create one for life in lock down and a normal school day too. 

Make sure you use the important language of morning, lunchtime, afternoon, evening, bedtimes, first, next, after that, and then, finally, at the end.

Thrive Activities from Mrs Hughes:

Mrs Hughes has been given some Thrive activities from 'Thanet Inclusion Service'. They are a week of creative activities that you can use with your child to support their emotional development at home. Play releases lots of feel good chemicals that help us feel calm, steady and connected. If possible, look to do these activities for as much as 20 minutes or more each day.​​​​​​​

Please see attachment at the bottom for activities. 

E-Safety

With the increase of Internet usage going up whilst we all stay at home, we have attached a useful powerpoint about how to stay safe on the Internet. We have covered this in school before so it is nothing new for the children but please go through the safety steps together as a family. Remember: 

- Always ask a grownup before going on the Internet. 

-Get a grownup to help you to get where you need to safely. 

-Always check with a grownup if you want to try something new. 

-Remember anyone can put things on the Internet and some things are not suitable for children. 

-Sometimes things can pop up and you don't know what they are. Get a grown up and then close them. 

-Never click on things that shouldn't be there. 

-The Internet has people who are kind or unkind. Never talk to people you don't know. If someone tries to talk to you then tell a grown up immediately.
