Afternoon sessions

PE - How did your challenges go last week? This week you could design your own challenge or create a target for yourself. For example: How many star jumps in a minute? How fast can you run around the garden? Can you beat your time?

You could also go for a walk, a bike ride or a scoot. 

Change for life have loads of PE games and activities to play based on different Disney films or take a look at previous weeks for different PE ideas.

Topic - I have loved seeing how many of the class have already got stuck in with this topic! 

To continue with work from last week on identifying plants, I have set 2 quizzes on Purple Mash.

This week we are investigating how a plant grows. If you are able to, plant a seed in a jar or a clear bag (such as a bean or a sunflower but anything will work) using wet kitchen towel or tissue. Check the video below and the bean diary for more information. Each day, check on your seed and describe how it has grown. I have created a bean diary to help you with this. 

Bring your jar or bag into school on the 8th March and we will continue this investigation together. 

Another challenge for you this week is to create an unusual plant pot out of materials you have at home. This could be using a toilet roll tube. plastic bottle, decorating a tin can - the possibilities are endless! If you have some seeds at home, you can then plant something in your new plant pot and watch it grow. If you don't have seeds at home, you could try growing some fruit or veg from your food scraps at home - check out this website for inspiration.
