History with Art & DT:

In North America, totem poles often served to represent a tribe's status and power.  The figures (often animal spirits) carved onto the poles symbolised a tribe's mythological history, as well as their rights and privileges. 

Have a go at creating your own totem pole:

(Please do continue to access 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' text and study guide - I have reuploaded this for those asking for it. Read a chapter then locate the associated activities for that chapter in the study guide.)

Spanish:

Our next topic in Spanish is animals! I have uploaded some resources below to support this. Enjoy! Don't forget to visit youtube to help with your pronunciation.

PE/Exercise:

It is incredibly important that we keep our bodies healthy too. At 9am Mondays and Wednesdays,  Joe Wicks livestreams a workout for children on YouTube. Just type in 'PE with Joe' just before 9am. He will also be doing a session on Saturday mornings now.

You could also go for walks, bike rides, exercise or play sports in the garden/park/outdoor space - whatever you have access to and can manage. Stay fit, eat healthily and get enough sleep at night.

General:

Remember to read and practise your times tables everyday for at least 10-20 minutes.
