We hope that everyone has had a great Easter weekend and is finding the websites which we posted last week helpful. This week we would like to suggest some activities which might help with fitness and well being.
Physical Activity
We know that many families will be trying to stay fit at this time. We previously provided details of the Real P.E website. The children have been following the Real P.E programme at school and can now access the website and access activities at home using the following detail.
The website address is: home.jasmineactive.com
Parent email: parent@howardprim-1.com

Reading
We hope that your child is being able to keep up with their reading and is finding the websites recommended last week helpful. In addition audio books for children are available at https://stories.audible.com/start-listen
Audio books can help children to access books at a level just above their reading ability. They also allow children to listen to stories while doing other activities or can just be an enjoyable way of accessing a story.

English and Topic work
For the rest of this week children should continue working on their newspaper article and their project on the Romans. They should also make sure that they read regularly at home.
Maths
1. To continue their learning on geometry in maths children should watch the following clip on angles.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zb6tyrd/articles/zg68k7
They should then make a right angle finder. This can be done by drawing and cutting out a circle, folding it into quarters and cutting out a quarter; or by using the link below.
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t2-m-024-right-angle-finders
Children can then make a list of objects with right angles, acute angles and obtuse angles.
2. Below is a fun game to help your child with their learning on position and direction. Your child could print out and play the game (if you have access to a printer) or have a go at making a similar game themselves.
Wally postition and direction game
Physical Activity
During P.E lessons at school we follow a programme called Real P.E. They have now released a website so children can access this from home.
Real PE at home includes an online programme which supports families to be active, play and learn together. It includes a programme for children in Key Stage 2, with daily and weekly guidance provided in addition to an option to choose your own themes and activities.
There are so many benefits to being active, not only to our physical wellbeing but also to our emotional and mental health, especially in such testing times for all of us. We hope that the ideas help support you and your family to stay fit and healthy in the coming months. Here are the details to access real PE at home:
