This sounds amazing! Join other readers in Norfolk who enjoy reading and discuss books in a virtual world. The first book is Spaghetti Hoop Boy and is free to download following the instructions below:

All of the titles will be free to download from using the Libby app on tablets/phones. You need a library card and PIN to be able to access the books. Anyone who needs to join the library can do so by using this link, the details you need will be sent by email. https://www.norfolk.gov.uk/libraries-local-history-and-archives/libraries/your-library-account/join-the-library

If anyone has any difficulty downloading ebooks you can email mailto:libraries.iconnect@norfolk.gov.uk and we’ll do our best to help.

There’ll be a new book every 2 weeks. We’ll be encouraging to share their thoughts and reviews (via their parents) within this group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/574424336761359/, so they feel like they are like of a wider group of children taking part. They might even get their reviews published on our online catalogue or displayed in our libraries when we reopen.

As well as the reading activity we post on Seesaw, it is important that you watch and take part in at least one phonics lesson daily. New lessons are uploaded onto the RWI YouTube Channel every day.

Today’s lessons can be found below:

Watch the video to help you understand some of this week’s learning projects from the learning pack for this week. You don’t need to do them all in one go!

⭐️ Design and make one or a family of superworms. Use string, pasta, beads, cheerios, an old sock stuffed with paper etc. Challenge: Can you make a repeating pattern? Make the worms ‘super’ by creating capes or superhero costumes.

⭐️ Find out a bit more about worms. Then try and create a wormery following these instructions. Challenge: Which day of the week will you find the most bugs outside? Think of a way of recording this.

⭐️ The Islamic tradition of Ramadan begins this week in the 9th month of the Muslim calendar and lasts for a month. This is followed by a celebration called ‘Eid al- fitr’. During Ramadan, Muslims fast during the day. Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam and means not eating or drinking. Eid is a time of celebration to mark the end of Ramadan. Muslims may decorate their hands with beautiful henna at this time. Can you design your own henna pattern? What else can you find out about Ramadan and Eid?

Watch the videos to help you understand some of this week’s literacy learning jobs from the learning pack for this week. You don’t need to do them all in one go!
⭐️ go bug hunting in your garden or when you go outside each day and use drawings and writing to show what you found where.
⭐️ design your own super character! Remember to draw your character and also write some super sentences. Will you be able to write more than 3 and beat Miss Butcher?
⭐️ create your own super story. You don’t need to make a book or draw pictures as you could just tell the story with your voice or with toys or puppets from home.
