Morning Music

Miss Oner and Year 5 have been listening to some beautiful music to remind themselves that things will get better. I thought it might be nice if we had a listen too as it's so relaxing;

How do you feel as you listen to the music?
If you'd like to you could lie on the floor, close your eyes, imagine you're on a cloud and ask an adult to quietly read this relaxation script to you as you listen to the music.
Hope you all have a lovely day.

Robin Hood - friend or foe?

Today I'd like you to try and make three puppets of the main characters in Robin Hood.
Do you remember making fire fighter puppets when we were learning about the Great Fire of London?



Here's a video reminding you of how to make lollipop stick puppets;
Their puppets are VERY complicated but I think I'll make mine less complicated. Don't worry if you don't have a lollipop stick as you could use a twig from the park, a drinking straw or a pencil instead. Try your best, get creative and make do if you can't find some of the things you need at home.  I'd love to see photographs of your puppets. If you e-mail them to;
