Good morning Comet class 👋

Make the most of today's 🌞 because tomorrow the forecast is 🌧

Why not go out on a walk and use the nature quiz ⬇️ from last week as an I-spy 👀 game!

Have a lovely day. 

Thank you so much to Max and Sam’s mum, who sent me this information about the slime mould (not a fungus, as I mistakenly thought) that we saw during one of our Forest School sessions:

There are many types, and when they were first discovered they thought they were a fungus, hence the name 'mould'. Slime moulds are fascinating as the above picture is not 1 organism but scores of tiny 1cell plants which all cluster together to make the large slime mould pictured. When ripe it splits open and is full of spores which blow away! 

So today I need to see if I can find the slime mould again. I will let you know what I find.

Here are the answers:

1. daisy

2. dandelion 

3. dandelion ‘clock’ (the fluffy part helps the seeds to fly and spread the plants further)

4. Lichen

5. The egg could have belonged to a rook, carrion crow or jackdaw. It was almost 3cm in diameter, so larger than a blackbird egg

6. White bluebell

7. Thistle (I am not quite sure which type, but working on it!)

8. White dead nettle (which does not sting!)

9. Forget-me-not

👏🏅🏆 WELL DONE to everyone who took part. You all did extremely well 🏆🏅👏

🔷    why not see if you can find these when you pop out for a walk  🔷

Hi everyone,

It’s Monday morning on week 2 of your home learning and I hope you enjoyed the weekend. This morning I have made a couple of videos to send to you but I can’t get them to send. The WiFi isn’t very good here in my village today!

So I will type the challenge instead, and hope to send you the videos later on. 

It’s a number challenge: 

Get 5 objects and see how many different ways you can find of making 5. 

For example: 

🚗🚕🚙🚌         🚎

     4              +     1   =   5

Good luck!  😍
