Good Morning Owls.
How are you this morning? It was lovely to see some smiling faces on Tapestry yesterday receiving your special post. If you haven't received yours yet maybe it might come today! We finally got round to planting our sunflowers yesterday. How are your sunflowers? Have they started to sprout and grow yet? How tall are they? I would love to see.

I loved seeing your amazing calendars yesterday. Have you changed your date and weather today?Today, we will be carrying on with our Oak National Academy Maths where you will be learning all about the different seasons.

There seems to be a lot of our Owls who are celebrating a birthday in May. If you are feeling a little crafty today maybe you would like to watch this video and make your own musical instrument to give to someone as gift.

Our fitness challenge day 3 is-touch your toes 10 times.
Remember if you are ever stuck for ideas there are lots of activities on our home learning page on the school website.
Missing you all every day and hoping we will be able to see each other soon,
Love Mrs Campion and Mrs Hoskins x

Message from Mrs Powell:
What did the world look like on VE day? What were people eating? Over the past few months, you might have had to eat something different because shopping is a little more complicated. What food did people eat on VE day? Lots of you have been growing your own fruits and vegetables; I’m growing tomatoes, herbs and strawberries and waiting to see if my peppers will grow! During the war, food was rationed so people grew as much food as they could. Another one of my Gran’s favourite foods was liver and she would make me and my brothers and sisters eat it all the time because she said it was good for us! We really didn’t like that but I like the ideas of some of these war time food; my Gran Peggy would have loved the liver casserole!

Here's some of the popular foods eaten during World War II and the sort of dishes that featured in VE Day celebrations.  Do you fancy trying any of them?
•    Dripping sandwiches with beef fat 
•    Lord Woolton pie (cauliflower, potatoes, parsnips, oats)
•    Pork faggots with onion gravy and mash
•    Homity pie (potato, onion and cheese)
•    Corned beef hash
•    Liver casserole
•    Eggless fruit cake. Why do you think it was eggless?
