Maths:
Play a game of Bowl a Fact to keep practising those Basic Facts. Remember each player draws the 10 pin bowling triangle (see example under Exercise) and you need 3 dice (but one would do, just throw 3 times) or a pack of cards could be used instead.  Take turns to roll the three dice and record the numbers that come up. You use the three numbers once only and combine them with any of the four operations to make up a number sentence that “bowls out” numbers in the triangle.  For example, if 6, 4, and 2 are thrown, a number sentence might be 6 x 2 ÷ 4 = 12 ÷ 4 = 3, so the ball with 3 in it is “bowled out”. Similarly, 8 might be bowled out with 6 + 4 – 2.  Try to “bowl out” as many numbers as possible with each turn, but you need to wait for your next turn to have another throw if you get stuck.  Just use addition and subtraction for a start but if you want a challenge, use all the operations (+,-,x & division).

Exercise:
Do any physical activity but you need to last for 8 minutes!  It could be an obstacle course you have created, 3 Jump Jam songs (remember the link is under Useful Websites), a bike ride or a run.  You could even make an exercise routine that combines each of these activities.


Make and Do:
This origami activity looks fun.  Challenge yourself and give it a go.  

Read or write:
During the lockdown I have been having some crazy dreams.  Last night I dreamt my computer was missing and it was discovered on an exposed ceiling beam at another school! Weird!  Is the same thing happening to you?
Watch the clip below…
and describe a dream that the BFG has gone out to find.  Use your imagination!  Remember to include lots of strong verbs and language features to make your writing creative and interesting for your reader.
