Story Time
Since we can’t be in class to read stories together I thought I would read one to you! You won’t be surprised that I have chosen my favourite book from my favourite children’s author, yes it’s ‘The Gruffalo’ by Julia Donaldson. Listen to the story and enjoy. The Gruffalo is written in rhyme, there are lots of rhyming pairs like mouse and house. Can you find any other rhyming pairs? There are lots!
The Gruffalo is an imaginary creature, can you use your imagination to make up a new creature? Maybe you could draw it and describe what it might look like and give it a name!

Mina has been very creativie and designed an imaginary creature called 'Prickle Pie' for Mrs Hughes Gruffalo story. This is amazing Mina, so many details and features. I love the prickles on his back. I wonder what all those features do? Well done!
Louis has been reading lots of Julia Donaldson stories at home and he really enjoyed Mrs Hughes reading the Gruffalo story. Louis has been working on some taking away activities and he has been building a bird house. The little birds will be very glad of that house when the snow comes Louis! What a lovley milking parlour, it is very important to play as well. Well done Louis!

The Daily Mile at Home Core Principles
The #DailyMileAtHome
WEEK 1
WHAT’S THE PLAN?
Easy. Head outside for 15 minutes of jogging or running at your own pace. You can do it right where you live – just choose a route that’s safe and mind you don’t trip on those pesky pavements.
IS IT HARD?
If you’re new to The #DailyMileAtHome you might find it difficult the first time. That’s OK. Getting out of breath is good for you and you’ll get fitter and stronger the more you do The #DailyMileAtHome. There’s a ‘Scout’s pace’ challenge below that’s perfect for you – take a look!
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME…
Great, just one more thing. Stay safe. Listen to your grown-up when you are out and about. Keep a safe distance from other people. Wash your hands as soon as you get back home.
CHALLENGE 1
SCOUT’S PACEScout’s pace is a great way to help you run further. All you need to do is: Run for 50 paces. Walk (or slow jog) for 50 paces and keep going! Change it up if you want – try doing 20 paces, or 30. See what works best for you!
CHALLENGE 2
BIRD SPOTTING
Can you spot any birds on your #DailyMileAtHome route?
You might see some in the sky. Or maybe resting in a tree. And if you can’t see any –
can you hear any? When you get home, see if you can find out the names of the birds you saw and let us know at #DailyMileAtHome
CHALLENGE 3
FINISH LINE FUN
Imagine your #DailyMileAtHome is a big race in front of thousands of people. Imagine your final sprint to the finish, the crowd cheering loudly. Can you make your own finish line and
have your picture taken as you break through it? You decide what to use: paper, loo roll, cardboard…. Or something else!
ASK YOUR GROWN-UP TO SHARE A PICTURE WHEN YOU DO EACH CHALLENGE AND SHARE ON TWITTER #DAILYMILEATHOME – WE LOVE TO
SEE YOU TAKING PART AND COMPLETING THE CHALLENGES.
Sam really enjoyed Mrs Hughes reading 'The Gruffalo' too! He has created a three eyed monster character. I wonder if he is a friendly character? Sam has been looking at his house plans and he was able to find his bedroom. Good work Sam, finding all the rooms using a birds eye view can be very difficult. Sam has made a brilliant machinery shed with red girders, just like his dad's. Well done Sam you have been very busy!
Kristofers has been working very hard at his desk doing his taking away and Study Ladder activities. He had a lovely walk with his sister and stopped to visit a very friendly donkey! Well done Kristofers.
