Watch the clip about mindfulness : https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/47243692
Read and follow the instructions about how to be mindful on paper :
Mindful Movement on Paper
Have you ever put pen to paper without having any particular idea in mind of what you want to draw? This is sometimes called ‘taking your pen for a walk’. Put your pen or pencil anywhere on a piece of paper and focus on your breathing as you move your pen around. There is no right or wrong way of doing this and you are not trying to create a specific image. After a little while, stop and see where your pen has travelled. Notice the shapes you have made. You can use different colours to fill in the shapes you have created – your very own mindfulness colouring design! Mindfulness activities can help us to feel calm, happy and relaxed.

Hey everyone
We hope you’ve had a great week. And, we hope you have a happy and healthy weekend, too – fingers crossed for a bit of sunshine!
Thanks to everyone who has been in touch this week – we really do love hearing how you’re doing.
Here’s your learning for today. As always, if you have any questions contact your class teacher.
Y5 Maths
Log on to TT Rockstars and test your multiplication skills.
Your learning for today is about multiplying decimals by 10, 100 and 1000.
Y6 Maths
Here are the answers to yesterday’s questions.
Your final challenge of the week is to take on all four levels of The Swamp of Statistics on Guardians: Defenders of Mathematica.
Y5,6 Reading
If you’ve been in my class, you know how much I love a good debate. I think it helps us engage with the world around us, articulate our thoughts and is a really valuable life skill. Also, to gain information, we often have to use our reading skills. Today, I’d like you to read this information and form your own opinion – you could even debate it with someone else.
Then, I’d like you to create a short poster or presentation (or anything else you can think of) to put forward your viewpoint.
Y5,6 Topic
We are going to familiarise ourselves further on one of our protective characteristics with this black lives matter lesson. This is a large global movement supporting the lives of black people.
Why are we doing this?
In Scholes (Elmet) Primary School, we know that racism is never ok and is not tolerated. Black lives matter supports our values, and it is important we are aware with current issues around the world. Complete this video lesson.

Hi everyone
We hope you’re all OK and are managing to stay happy and healthy. It was a big day for Y5 yesterday as they found out which class they’ll be in next year – commiserations if you’re in Mrs Hogarth’s class again (it won’t be that bad!).
And Y6, thanks so much for the amazing response to sending in baby pictures. It’s going to be quite a big video so it will take some time for me to put it all together and edit it properly. I will make sure you have it before the end of next week!
Here’s your learning for today…
Y5 Maths
Click on the link above for today’s starter.
Your learning today is about subtracting decimals with different decimal places.

Read the description about the sports day race.
An egg and spoon race is a sporting event. Each person in the race must place an egg or ball on a spoon. If it falls off, you must stop and put the egg back on the spoon. The winner is the first to cross the finish line.
Think of your own race and write simple description of how to do it.
Challenge : Draw and label a picture of your race.

Make an obstacle course in your house or garden. Have a go at completing it a few times. See if you can get better each time. Make sure you put everything back where you got it from when you have finished!

Starter
Use the Topmarks website to play ‘Hit the button.’ Put your times table knowledge to the test.
Your learning for today is about subtracting decimals.
Year 6 Maths
Our lesson on finding an average will be very meaningful. Wait. Here’s a better one. Don’t let anyone call you average. It’s just mean.
Year 5/6 Reading
As this would have been our ‘sports week’ at school if all was normal, I thought we could use this as our learning platform. Choose a sport that you are particularly fond of and find an article about this sport. This could be something in the news, an online article about a team or player, the rules of the sport or anything else you can think of. Once you have your chosen piece of sporting information, create a RIC for other pupils to answer. As a challenge, see If you can create more questions after your RIC. Send your results into your class teacher – we look forward to using them next week!
Year 5/6 Living & Learning
Your lesson today is a Living & Learning lesson. You will be focusing on one of our 8Rs for learning – Mr Catherall thinks it might be the most important one! Do you agree? Watch this video and follow the instructions. You can access the website and resources you need here. Enjoy!

Today, you are going to design a ticket for a sporting event. It could be for any sport! Choose a sport that you enjoy watching or a sport that you usually play or participate in yourself. You could create a ticket for a team match, a competition or a sports session that you have taken part in. You could even design one for a PE lesson or our virtual sports day.
Make sure your ticket:
is eye catching and colourful
contains a picture of the sport
shows the time and date of the sporting event
Here are a few ideas for sports tickets. There is also an example of a template design but it would be wonderful if you could design your own.
Have fun and please email us your designs.
