Good Morning Owls. 
I think today is going to be a hot day. If it is maybe you could enjoy spending some time today in the sunshine. You could maybe play with the water. Remember to keep safe in the sun though. My boys always get fed up of me making sure they have their hats on and their sun cream!
It was great seeing you join in with the 60 second challenge. Here is a new one you could try today. It is called socks in the box.There is a long list of different challenges you can do. https://www.youthsporttrust.org/60-second-physical-activity-challenges

For maths we will be looking at different ways to share numbers up to 20 and if you can share a number equally. https://www.thenational.academy/reception/maths/investigating-number-combinations-within-20-reception-wk5-3

On Monday, we looked at the story 'Egg' Here is the link if you would like to watch it again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y73kXc4UiKM&list=PLE5MZB5pedUMQRHw2etfKDkufdGKDiPsU
The eggs in the story have the same pattern using two lines and a zig zag. Shall we give the eggs different patterns to choose from? Ask a grown up to draw you some egg templates and then you can create your own egg patterns so that all the eggs know they don’t have to look the same.

Daily fitness challenge day 13: lay on your back and paddle your legs like you are on a bike. 

Have a wonderful day in the beautiful sunshine. We miss you and are so proud of you all.
Love Mrs Campion and Mrs Hoskins x

Message from Mrs Powell:

Today I am going to introduce you to a very special person called Theresa. She lived more than 140 years ago.  She was born on 2 January 1873 and died on 30 September 1897, at the young age of 24. Her mother died when Theresa was just four years old, leaving her father with five children to look after. One of her sisters, called Mary, took over running the household, while her eldest sister, Pauline, took charge of telling the younger children about God.  When she was 14, Theresa decided that she wanted to dedicate her life to God, so she became a nun (someone who goes to live with others who give their lives to God). Theresa was made a saint in 1925. A 'saint' is a person who is a great example to us because he or she lived a special life and/or had special gifts.  Although Theresa didn’t have a very long life, she used every minute she had to care for other people. Her best-known saying is, ‘What matters in life is not great deeds, but great love.’ Theresa became known as someone who would show love to others by doing little things. Sometimes she gave flowers, sometimes she prayed, sometimes she showed love and attention to people who struggled with problems. Theresa knew that she wasn’t physically strong enough to carry out great deeds, but she made a big difference to people’s lives by the little things she did for them. Very often, though, it's the little things that have the greatest effect on people’s lives, the little things which show them someone cares.
Time for reflection
Close your eyes and think about a little thing someone has done for you that made you feel special or happy. It may have been a kind word, asking you to play with them or even giving you a special present.
Decide to do something today that will make someone else feel special.

Dear God
Thank you for people who do things for me that make me feel happy and loved.
Please help me to do something today to show someone that I care about them.
Amen
