Good Morning Owls. 
Hope you had a good day yesterday. Mrs Hoskins and I were both in school yesterday and it was lovely to see her. It is  so strange without you all there. We both miss you all very much. While I was at school I took part in the 60 second challenge. (I didn't do as well as I would have liked as my bean bag got stuck in my cardigan!) I used a bean bag but you can use anything you like a ball, a pillow, cuddly toy etc.
I have included a picture of my challenge to see if you would like a go today. 

Here is the link for today's Maths lesson finding one less of a number:

I loved seeing all of your egg pictures yesterday, Here is a link to the story if you would like to listen to the story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y73kXc4UiKM&list=PLE5MZB5pedUMQRHw2etfKDkufdGKDiPsU
It is not only the eggs who are different in this story. What else is different? Have you noticed all the different flowers? Go through the film again and count how many different types of flower you see. Maybe you would like to draw and number the different flowers. 

This week is Mental Health awareness week and I thought we could take part in the 7 day kindness challenge. Today is to send someone you haven't seen in ages a letter or postcard. 

Daily fitness challenge day 12- Do 6 cartwheels. (I would love to see your videos-please be careful though and only do them when you are with your grown up!)

Hope you all have a wonderful day and keep smiling. 
Love Mrs Campion and Mrs Hoskins x

Message from Mrs Powell:
Once upon a time, there was an old man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning before he began his work. Early one morning, he was walking along the shore after a big storm had passed and found the vast beach littered with starfish as far as the eye could see, stretching in both directions. 
Off in the distance, the old man noticed a small boy approaching.  As the boy walked, he paused every so often and as he grew closer, the man could see that he was occasionally bending down to pick up an object and throw it into the sea.  The boy came closer still and the man called out, “Good morning!  May I ask what it is that you are doing?”
The young boy paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean. The tide has washed them up onto the beach and they can’t return to the sea by themselves,” the youth replied. “When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back into the water.”
The old man replied, “But there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I’m afraid you won’t really be able to make much of a difference.”
The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, “It made a difference to that one!”
We all have the opportunity to help create positive change.  You might not be able to change the entire world, but at least you can change a small part of it, for someone. Break the big challenge down into smaller pieces and then take those one at a time – like one starfish at a time.  Remember you can achieve anything!
