Hopefully the Sun will shine for the holidays and we can spend some time at the beach!

Here's a Summer Challenge. There are thirty fun activities in this booklet to keep you entertained over the holidays, such as Den building, read a book challenge, designing book marks, movie nights and many more.

Here are two examples;

Have a fantastic Summer holiday. Make sure you relax and have lots of fun! 

Take care and stay safe. We cannot wait to see you all back at school in September! 

Lots of love from Mrs Andrews and Mrs Ralph.

Exercise is important to keep us healthy. Playing games teaches us about rules, taking turns, perseverance, encouraging each other and teamwork.

The Size of Wales is a unique charity with a mission to sustain an area of tropical Rainforest twice the size of Wales.  To help raise awareness of this charity and its efforts we will carry out one of their activities each day. 

 #GoGreenDay2020 starts today with World Rainforest Day. 

Your activity is to research a rainforest and make a poster (you can draw or use j2e).  Try and make it as informative and as colourful as you can. 

Some ideas that you could research to add to the poster are, to find out what is a rainforest, what is happening to rainforests, what animals live in them, where in the world they are, their climate, why they are so important and what can we do to protect them. 

Tweet us your posters @bryncethincl6  @sizeofwales and #GoGreenDay2020 

 Last week we thought about Superheroes, this week the focus will be on real heroes.

Who is your hero and why? 

Ask your family who is their hero and make some Top Trump cards! You could include age, height give them a hero rating. You can decide on the facts to add to the cards.

Here are lots of fun activities to keep you entertained.

Tweet us @bryncethincl6 to show us how you are keeping busy today!

Today create a comic strip. Use your favourite Superhero movie for ideas, or include the Superhero you made up at the start of the week. You can even use the same comic strip from our Google Classroom task earlier in the week. BUT this time use it as a prop to record yourself reading out the comic strip. Use lots of expression where you can to make it more interesting. Try adding some background noise or a bit of music to add to the excitement and drama. 

In movies there is usually a scene where the hero has to save people from a villain or a weather related disaster, so have a go at making a Tornado in a Jar! 

There are lots of fun activities on The Left Brain website.

The Well being task for today is fun way to talk about anxiety. There are also some suggestions for relaxation techniques that can be used during times of anxiety.

The worry bubbles is one of my favourite activities ever!

Just how will you free the captured figure? Dig it out? melt it out.?.... Experiment and have fun!!!

Today's Well being activity is to make a Worry Monster that will take ALL your worries away!

Remember its day four of your Star Jump Challenge! 

Imagine you've been to outer Space and whilst zooming around you spotted something!! A brand new planet.  Can you draw or describe what it looks like? Think about its colour, size, shape, moons, rings, where it is in the Solar System? What will you name it? Could this new planet have aliens? Tweet us your pictures or descriptions @bryncethincl6

Some aliens have scrambled up my research, could you help me? You will need to rearrange the letters so the words are unscrambled and will be connected to something to do with Space. As an extra challenge, can you think up some other Space related words and scramble them for your family to solve?

GOOD LUCK and NO CHEATING!!!!!!! 

Today we have our final task to celebrate VE Day. As there will be lots of VE Day parties tomorrow, why don't you get yourself into a 1940's party mood!!!!!  Listen to some music, this one is by The Andrews Sisters called Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy from 1941. Teach yourself some dance moves from the 1940's, swing dance was popular then.  There are lots of step by step dance tutorials on You Tube. Maybe you could have a go with a grown up. Film yourselves and tweet us!  Finally have a

look at the clothes that were worn in the 1940's.  The men dressed very smartly, the women wore knee length dresses.  Maybe you could get all dressed up in your pretty dresses and smart clothes to dance in.

Finally, as tomorrow is a Bank Holiday there will not be any new activities added until Monday 11th May. Have a lovely weekend.

Have lots of fun and tweet us @Bryncethincl6 your VE Day celebrations!

As you know this Friday 8th May, people across Britain will be celebrating VE Day. Lots of people will be decorating their houses and gardens with bunting. 

Today's task is for you to make some VE Day bunting that you could put up at home.  You could cut out, paint and decorate some cardboard boxes that were going to be recycled, print out some templates, like the one below. Maybe you could be super creative and make your own. Why not add some glitter for some extra sparkle?

Another Spy task for you today. Try Morse Code. Use the Chart below to write your name. Too easy?  Try writing some sentences using Morse Code for your family to crack.  Maybe they could write some for you! Still too easy?? Try the Morse Code quiz on the Blue Peter website. See if you can be a top Spy and tweet us the answer! @BryncethinCL6 add @Cbbc #Blue Peter.  Otherwise let us know the answer via Google Classroom!

Continuing with our VE Day topic today, have a go at making a medal.  You could recreate one from WW2 or design your own.  You could present someone in your household with this medal for being a hero to you!  Most of the ribbons used are colourful and similar to a rainbow theme.  I wonder why this is?  Have fun getting creative.  Tweet us @BryncethinCL6 with your medal and hero.

This week our activities will all be linked to VE Day.  On Friday it is the 75th anniversary of VE Day and it is a bank holiday, lots of people across the country will be celebrating this day. 

Today's activity is to make a paper aeroplane.  You can use this picture of a Spitfire to help you as the fold lines are there to guide you.  It can be found on Twinkl if you have the ability to print at home. Or you can just make your own and decorate it too look like a Spitfire.  

Then you can challenge your family too see whose aeroplane flies the furthest.  Remember to measure fairly and accurately.  You can use JIT5 in Hwb to create a graph of your results!  Good Luck!!!

A huge thank you to everyone for taking part in our activities, both on the website and on HWB, over the last 2 weeks. We appreciate it hasn't always been easy. T

           Have a wonderful Easter break everyone!!!!

Here are some code breaker questions. Answer the sums and work out the answers to the Easter Jokes.

Why not learn how to boil an egg? (You need to do this with an adult). You can then either decorate it to make a lovely Easter egg or perhaps you could set up an assault course and have an "egg"celent egg and spoon race!!

Don't forget to join in with Joe Wickes every morning too! It's completely "eggs"hausting!! 

As a small group, or just with an adult, have fun reading the Easter story together and answer the questions at the bottom of the pages. At the end, design a picture or collage of your favourite part of the story. 

Let's get messy - Make some salt dough creations

Salt Dough Easter Eggs

Ingredients

250g plain flour

125g - salt

125ml - warm water

Method

Put the salt and flour into a bowl

Add small amounts of water at a time and mix together with a wooden spoon.

Once it starts coming together you will need to use your hands.

Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes

Once your dough is ready, roll out to no more than 1cm thick

Create your egg shapes in the dough

Leave on a windowsill to harden. This could take a few days. Remember to turn them over so both sides harden.

Once completely hard, decorate with pretty patterns and bright colours.

Enjoy!!

You could post your finished piece on Twitter.

Have some fun and play an Easter/ Maths related board game. If you are unable to print this out, make your own board. Choose Easter related pictures to go on your board and enjoy colouring them in.
