After watching the video I want you to discuss this with someone in your family. You can talk about your own beliefs and how you think the world was created. If you like you could create a picture based on the creation story.

We will continue with the theme of creation over this half term and next week's task will follow on from this.

Computing

We would like you to start the first coding unit at home. It is lots of fun and you can get more and more creative as you work your way through the lessons at home. Don't worry though it starts off very simple!

We are starting with Level 1- On the Move

Below is a help guide

The 'On the Move' unit helps you to learn that programs execute by following clear instructions and it helps you to understand that programs respond to inputs to do different things.

It's important to try and stay fit and healthy, especially when the weather isn't very nice and we can't go outside!

Keeping Myself Safe

Here are some questions you can talk about with your family:

• What different things help to keep us all healthy?
• Which physical activities do we like doing together?
• What are our favourite different healthy foods?
• Why is sleep so important?
• What can help us when we're ill? (Try to think of things other than medicines first of all, such as rest, sleep, drinking plenty of water.) 
• How can medicine be helpful?

Below is a game that you can download, print and play with someone in your family. It is called 'Help Tania Get Better.' We hope you enjoy it!
