Good morning Goldfinches,

How are you all today? I have already heard about and received some lovely Save Our Seas work for our sharing window from you. Thank you for all your creativity and enthusiasm.

Listen to a story about sea turtles with Miss Thwaites  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IOIi1kFHSU&feature=youtu.be

School Jobs:

Reading: Look at the picture news article about the Ocean floor. How amazing!  Have a look at this website about plastic pollution https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/explore/nature/kids-vs-plastic/pollution/#/1470659139836. I have also attached a comprehension on Plastic Pollution. (It is in 3 different levels. 1 star = easier  3 stars = challenge. Just choose 1 to do- don't do them all)

Maths: I have attached some data about endangered sea animals. Perhaps you could make a bar chart to show what is happening or use the data to find out how many animals have lost their lives over the years. How big is the decline in their numbers?

Make One Change: After finding out about Plastic Pollution discuss this with your family. Make a pledge to MAKE ONE CHANGE. What could you swap in your house? What could you stop buying or using at all? Tweet your idea with @LostockGralamPR      #MakeOneChange       #SaveOurSeas

Mindfulness: Put on some lovely relaxing music and have a go at the ocean colouring sheet (attached) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVct34NUk3U

Have a wonderful day Goldfinches, sending big virtual hugs,

Mrs Evans 

Message from Mrs Powell

At the age of 11, Tom Gregory became the youngest person ever to swim the English Channel.

It was 05:00 on 6 September 1988 and Tom Gregory stood on the tip of France. Behind him was his coach, John Bullet. In front of him was the vast, black, English Channel. Tom, in swimming trunks, faced the water. Out there, somewhere, was home. On the water, a light appeared in the dark. A small boat came to shore. Tom put on his cap and goggles, and walked into the Channel. He followed the boat, and, when it got too deep, he started to swim. He didn't stop for 12 hours.

Tom was 11 years old, this record has never been broken!

Wow! What do you think he saw? How do you think he felt? What would have been his biggest challenges?
