This week would normally be half-term so Mr James has chosen some fun activities which mean you can also make the most of the lovely weather! 

Drawing my own shadow - all you need is a piece of chalk and a sunny day! See the document attached below...

Puppet show - use some socks or other material on sticks to make some of your own puppets. Create your own story and let your puppets act out the story. You could put on a show for the rest of your family or, better still, ask them to join in and help you!

A-Z scavenger hunt - this could be in your garden, on a walk with your family or even just in your bedroom/kitchen etc. Look around and find an object that starts with the letter A, then one that starts with B, then C, then D and so on...!

Savoury bake - I know lots of you have been baking cookies, cupcakes etc at home. Now look for a recipe for something that isn't sweet - it could still be something delicious like cheese scones or a pasta bake. Send us a photo, write a blog post about it!

Football skills - have a go at the skills activity I sent by e-mail on Thurs 21st May (via Mrs Short). Everyone could try some of these and you can show us your skills when we see you  You could even ask your parents to put a video clip on our Twitter page @BPSSwans

Resources and activities for week beginning May 14th, which stand alone but also supplement BBC Bitesize, set by Mr James.

Reading: This week saw the 200th anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale; a nurse with the British Army during the Crimean War. So could you please complete the reading comprehension about her (see the resource below). The answers are on pages 4-5 but please don't peep at them till you've finished your work!

Writing: Tuesday's Bitesize lesson was about 'Writing a Diary Entry'. So there's a task for you about this on Purple Mash. You could write about a day at home during lockdown or perhaps the 'best day of your life'. Click this icon to take you there.

Maths: Following the Bitesize lessons on dividing, I've set you another 2Do

called 'Division Questions' on Purple Mash.

and invertebrates, there is a 2Do about this on Purple Mash please.

  PE: Please have a go at the 'Cricket Skills Challenge'. Even if you know nothing about cricket, this is just a mixture of throwing, catching and hitting so everyone can join in! The document below gives you all the details and how to enter the competition. The icon on the right links you to videos about how to do each of the 5 skills . This is instead of the sports tournaments we normally go to on Fridays, so we'd like as many as possible of you to enter

subtract. So I have set you a 2Do task on Purple Mash called 'Subtraction - HTO -T'
