Wednesday 10th February

 Morning everyone! 

Before we start...some exciting news from the PTA: 

Competition time!

The school PTA has this week launched a virtual pet show, just for a bit of fun over the half term holidays. Don't worry if you don't have a pet though, you can still take part!

The PTA are also very excited to announce that they have a celebrity head judge to help decide the overall 'best in show' - BBC Countryfile and Cotswold Farm Park's very own Adam Henson will be judging the final winner!

How to enter:

1. Take a look at the categories below and decide which one you would like to enter. Take a photo of your pet, or if you're entering the 'anything goes' category get creative with your pens/paint/play doh. You could take your camera out during your next walk and see what you can spot - a bird, creepy crawly, horse or maybe even your neighbour's cat?

2. Once you have a photo or drawing, ask a grown up to help you email it into the PTA at pta@holyapostles.gloucs.sch.uk stating the category you're entering, name and class by Friday 19 February.

The categories are:

• Dashing dogs.
• Anything goes - a picture/photo of your favourite cuddly animal or an animal you see on your daily walks.
• Cute cats.
• Teacher's pets - just for school staff.
• Super small animals.

You can only enter each pet once, BUT you can enter as many categories as you have pets.

Prizes: Votes will be counted and category winners (1st, 2nd and 3rd) will win a rosette. Adam Henson will then select the overall 'best in show'. The winner and their pet will receive a special prize.

Questions? If you have any queries, please email the PTA at: PTA@holyapostles.gloucs.sch.uk

I can't wait to see the Class 6 entries! Remember to send them to the PTA! If you want to copy me in, that's cool too 😆

Which Teacher's pet will win the teacher's category? There's only one answer really 😀

This is another expression of feeling during lockdown. Laura is speaking to herself and sending herself a message. In it, she is reflecting on how she is feeling, what has happened and how she might view herself in 6 months time. 

I would like you to write yourself a message in 6 months. Reflect on how you're feeling about everything, what do you notice about how people are behaving? What would you tell yourself to enjoy when life (hopefully!) begins to return to 'normal'? 

WALT: Express our thoughts and feelings

Today we are going to use the skills that we have been working on over the last few weeks to create a street scene using 2 point perspective. 

Here are some examples from years past. 

What can you come up with? 

Remember to begin with your horizon line and 2 points of perspective. 

Any details have to be drawn on in the correct way. Always start in the same place. I find it better to always begin where the building is biggest and draw the perspective lines towards the point where the building gets smaller. This way, everything stays in the same perspective. 

PE 

We'll finish off the half term with some relaxing Yoga. Enjoy, breathe, stretch, relax.

Although it says 'Yoga for teens' it also says it's good for any age!
