Exercise Challenge - A few different exercises this week. Can you do each of these exercises for 30 seconds? 45seconds? or 1 minute?
1. Squats
Stand with your feet shoulder’s width apart, and do deep knee bends. Make sure keep your knees behind your toes and your arms out straight.
2. Leg Raises
Lay on your side or on your back and with lift your legs without bending at the knee. Try to hold at the top. This works your lower abdominals, but be careful to not let your lower back arch.
3. Lunges
Step forward and bend your front knee to a 90-degree angle. The goal is to have your back knee touch the ground without letting your front knee extend past your toes.

5. Jumping Jacks
Start with your feet together and arms by your side. Jump feet and arms out and in at the same time.

Our next 5 common exception words to read and spell are:

If you can, go outside with water and a paintbrush. Use the water and brush to paint the common exception words on the ground. (A squeezy water bottle works just as well.) On a sunny day, words disappear quickly—so spellers you will have to move fast!
Geography - Where in the World Are We?
You have all been working so hard learning about the different Continents, hot and cold countries and different habitats that animals live in all around the world. Well done!
Re-watch these two videos to remind yourself of the names of the seven Continents, this will help you with today’s task!
Today we would like you to be detectives. We’d like you to look at the photographs in the PowerPoint attached (Where in the World Are We?) and try to work out where in the world the staff from Classes 1, 2 and 3 are.
This is tricky, but use what you already know and look for clues in the picture, maybe ask an adult to help you. We’d like you to name the Country we are in and then do some research either using the internet or an atlas, if you have one at home, and name the Continent that that country is in.
For example, if you thought that the photograph was taken in the rainforest in Brazil then your answer would be ‘Brazil and South America’, because Brazil is a country within the Continent of South America.
Record you answers on the attached sheet (Where in the World Are We – Answer sheet).
Challenge: give a reason for your choice. If you can’t print off then sheet, the write your guesses in your workbook. We will share the answers with you all during the 12pm Zoom session on Friday.
Just for Fun
As an additional task today, you may want to print off the attached sheet (Hot and Cold Suitcase) and sort out which suitcase would be taken to which country. Look for clues in the case!

Spelling Test
Ask an adult to test you on the spellings that were set on Monday. Aim to get full marks and don’t forget to use your best handwriting! I’d love to hear how you got on so please email your score over to me on collette.keegan@kirkbyce.co.uk. You could even take a photograph of your spelling sheet and attach that.
Handwriting
We follow a scheme called ‘Teach Handwriting’ and we teach the children a small group of letters at a time. The children are familiar with all of these but need to practise their letter formations as often as possible.
This week we will concentrate on letter joins .
- Click here and go to the ‘bottom joins' – Cursive Letters’ section. Please select the digraphs aw, ay and ch to watch the short demonstration that will show you how the letter is formed (start at the top).
- Practise writing out the letters using the handwriting sheet attached in the files at the bottom of the page. If you cannot print off the sheet then practise writing out the letters in your home workbooks. Remember to make sure your letters are all a consistent size!
- Challenge: How many words can you think of that contain these digraphs?
Art - Pablo Picasso and Cubism Inspired Art
You will need: two template pages (available to collect from the school conservatory or print off using the document below), coloured pencils/crayons/felt pens/pastels, scissors and glue.
Your task today is to create a piece of artwork using Cubism Art inspired by a famous artist called Pablo Picasso.
Click here to watch a video that briefly introduces Picasso. He would use colour to show emotion so we are going to really think about the colour choices we make.
You will need to select cool colours and warm colours. Use this colour chart to help you decide which colours are cool and which colours are warm.
Step 1 – Select a variety of warm colours and colour in the heart template.
Step 2 – Select a variety of cool colours and colour in the background page (you will not need to colour in the middle section as this will be covered up).
You may prefer to use paint, or you could even use collage techniques and layer different coloured paper or tissue paper if you have any at home.
Step 3 – Cut out the heart and stick it on top of your background page. You could then display this in your window at home.
Challenge:
Do you remember when we did Portraits in class at the beginning of the year? Have a go at creating your own mixed up face painting/drawing, as shown at the end of the Pablo Picasso video.
