Mental Health Awareness Week
I found this great video on the Reception home-learning page. It perfectly fits with the theme of Kindness from this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week. It also fits in with our discussions about how an act of kindness benefits the giver just as much as the receiver.
Check it out:

THE FOXES IN MY GARDEN
There are five cubs and two parents living in my garden. The two adults first came last summer, and they stole all five of our chickens. The cubs were born in March this year.
The foxes like to eat rodents (for example, mice), rabbits and birds. They also enjoy earthworms and insects.
Home for the foxes is underneath the studio. The small foxes come out of the holes at the front of the studio and the mum and dad fox come out of the back of the studio. The foxes play a game called rollover and tag.
The foxes have three dens, one of them is here, the second one is behind the tram line and the third one is in my neighbour’s garden.
We enjoy living with the foxes however they are destroying our garden because they dig holes and play in the rhubarb.
The RSPCA advises people not to feed foxes AND NOT TO TRY TO MAKE THEM TAME!
Well done to Louie for sending in the above piece of writing. You have clearly spent a long time composing and editing this piece of writing. You have used a vide variety of genre appropriate language and have used lots of adjectives for description to enable us to fully engage with the text. I loved reading about the foxes in your garden!
Watch the following videos of the foxes feeding and playing in Louie’s garden.
Thanks Louie!

Maths Challenge
The Insurance Salesman
An insurance salesman walk up to house and knocks on the door. A woman answers, and he asks her how many children she has and how old they are. She says I will give you a hint. If you multiply the 3 children’s ages, you get 36. He says this is not enough information. So she gives a him 2nd hint. If you add up the children’s ages, the sum is the number on the house next door. He goes next door and looks at the house number and says this is still not enough information. So she says she’ll give him one last hint which is that her oldest of the 3 children plays the piano.

Mental Health Awareness Week
This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme this year is Kindness.
Please watch the above video; I like how it highlights how being kind to others actually improves your own mental health.
Can you give examples of how you have shown kindness to somebody recently?
