still missing you all very much but staying safe is the main thing.

Don’t forget to send pictures either via our school Twitter @Northcotesch or directly to my school email address to show me what you have been up to: i.burbridge@northcote.liverpool.sch.uk or v.pitfield@northcote.liverpool.sch.uk

Task: Northcote 'Sports Month' Fitness Challenge Well done to everyone who has been taking part in Sports Month let's keep it going and

we're going to focus on Healthy Eating as well. See the D&T activity further down the page.

During this time of the year, we should have been completing in our 'Sports Day'. Rather than

cancelling, we have decided to change our plans this year. Instead of a 'Sports Day' we are

organising a 'Sports Month'.

For the next 4 weeks, we will be setting daily fitness challenges for you and your family to

complete - this will help us achieve the recommended 30 minutes of exercise each day!

Each day you need to check the school's Twitter account to see what the daily fitness

challenge is.

https://twitter.com/northcotesch?lang=en

We want to see as many photos of you and your family completing all the fitness

challenges as well as images of fitness record cards. (Remember when posting

a photo on Twitter do not include your name).

If you are able to complete all of the week's challenges you will receive a certificate.

To be able to receive the certificate, you need to email an image of the fitness record card completed weekly to your class teacher.

As a whole school, we are going to be looking at healthy eating this week! As we are

focusing on getting fit and healthy, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share

some healthy recipes with everyone! We will be posting some ideas for healthy snacks which

you could make after your daily workouts!

Check our twitter page everyday to see what tasty dishes the teachers have been cooking!

Everyday we will be posting recipe ideas that you can try with your family.

You can join in by creating one of the recipes we post, or sending your own ideas in!

Whatever your family makes this week, send your teacher some photographs or tweet them

with the hashtag #northcotecooks

Firstly think about:

Animal Recipes

Which of the recipes would you most like to eat?

Why is that your favourite?

Vocabulary challenge 1: Find and write down all the 'bossy verbs' in the recipes in the text.

They're written in the documument below:

Recipes

For example - Slice the carrots thinly. The bossy verb is 'slice' because it's telling you what to

do (being bossy!)

Vocabulary challenge 2: Put the bossy verbs into sentences of your own.

Task 4: Read this poem and complete the activities that follow:

Out of a Cloud

I have never seen one,

Desmond saw one though,

He said it hummed like hives of bees,

He said it glowed a glow,

He said it swooped out of a cloud

and lit the fields below,

He said it took his heart away,

Desmond’s UFO.

Of course no one believed him,

But wandering here and there,

Desmond scanned the sky each night,

With his hopeful stare,

Examining the Milky Way,

Venus, the Plough, the Bear,

Searching, wishing, longing,

Desmond head-in-air.

And then one day he vanished.

How? We’ll never know.

We found no clue or trace of him,

Hunting high and low,

Except, spiked on a barbed-wire fence,

A note saying: ‘Told you so,’

And all around the grass pressed down...

Where did Desmond go?

By Richard Edwards

From Aliens Stole My Underpants edited by Brian Moses

Task 3: Write a recipe.

Make sure you've read 'Animal Recipes' in the Reading section of the class page so that you

know how a recipe should be written.

Write down the recipe for one of the healthy meals/snacks you made for this week's DT task.

Task 4: Write sentences about what food and drink you think an animal of your own choice would like.

What to do:

1. Choose a new animal that is not in Animal Recipes. Maybe choose one from Animal Suggestions - Animal Suggestions

2. Think about some meals, dishes or foods you think that animal might really enjoy. (You don’t have to be realistic with the food!)

In the wild a lion might eat a deer or a gazelle but you could say he’d like to eat a roast dinner, ice cream and strawberries.

3. Explain why you think your creature would like those foods.

Use the word because to introduce your reasons.

I think a lion would love to eat a huge roast dinner with lots or roast potatoes and parsnips because they need a lot of energy for all their hunting and running around.

4. Add some drawings showing your animal and its food.

Challenge:

Do the same thing for a different animal and different foods.
