Good Morning Everyone!
Let's start the day with a film about the moon called
'La Luna' which means 'The Moon'
Click the picture to start
I hope you enjoy watching this lovely film without words. Our Space Project is zooming! Thankyou for all the brilliant work and pictures that you've been sending to me.
Here are today's activities. You can do them in any order and you don't have to do them all if you don't have enough time, but please work hard on the activities that you choose to do.
Writing: La Luna
After you have watched the film, write a diary entry about the star crashing into the moon. Describe what happened, as if you had been there watching. Here is a possible sentence starter, but you can use your own starter, if you prefer:
Diary Entry - Thursday 25th June -
'I couldn't believe my eyes, as I looked up into the dark sky.....'
Think about what you saw and heard. Try to use some interesting adjectives and powerful verbs to describe what happened. You could draw a picture to show what happened too.

Have you decided what kind of exercise you would like to do today? You might like to do one of the activities below, or maybe go for a walk, run or do some cycling. You could do an exercise routine with Joe Wicks, find a fun activity on GoNoodle or try something new like yoga: https://www.harrogatessp.com/keeping-all-young-people-active/

Be kind and help others
Have you done anything to help someone else today? Try to do a kind act for someone else. It might be to help with something or it might be to do something to cheer up another person. A friendly wave and smile through the window can mean a lot to someone who is lonely.
The Learning Project this week is Space. You might find out about our Solar System, the Sun and the Moon. You could look at life in outer space from the view of an astronaut and travelling through space. Enjoy your journey through Space!
