The Book of Hopes
Completely free for all children and families, the extraordinary collection of short stories, poems, essays and pictures has contributions from more than 110 children’s writers and illustrators, including Lauren Child, Anthony Horowitz, Greg James and Chris Smith, Michael Morpurgo, Liz Pichon, Axel Scheffler, Francesca Simon and Jacqueline Wilson.
The collection, published by Bloomsbury, is dedicated to the doctors, nurses, carers, porters, cleaners and everyone currently working in hospitals.
For today’s activity, enjoy reading the Book of Hopes.
Wellbeing
During this time, looking after your mental wellbeing is very important. For today’s activity, I thought we could think about the things we do to look after our own wellbeing. Here is an example of an A to Z of wellbeing created by Simon Bolger. Your challenge today is to create your own wellbeing poster. You may wish to do an A to Z or just create your top five tips to stay healthy.

Scavenger Hunt
Thank you for sending your photos in to website@cannonpark.coventry.sch.uk for the website. Here is one of two of our children smiling proudly after a scavenger hunt. Our value of Enjoyment is clear to see!
Bug Hunt
Today’s activity comes from Mr Wilson: the Great Bug Hunt 2020! The challenge – venture into any outside space and explore and report back what you found, through a project. Run every year by the ASE in partnership with the Royal Entomological Society, the ever popular Great Bug Hunt competition takes science learning out of the primary classroom and brings it to life in the outdoors.
If you find a spider or woodlouse, find out all about it. Draw it, examine it (carefully!), what does it eat, where does it live – maybe even write a story or poem about it, design a poster, shoot a video and then email it over to rebecca@ase.org.uk by 12th June.
Win a bundle of bug exploration-related prizes, a digital microscope and a hands-on “Insect Day” for the school.

Bird Feeder
Today’s activity comes from one of our parents. The CBBC website has ideas on how to create your own birdfeeder.
Click here for instructions on how to create your own birdfeeder – there are three different types.
Next time you watch the birds in your garden, don’t just look at the ones queuing up for the birdfeeders.
Blackbirds feed mainly on the ground. They run and pause, run and pause, run and pause. Each time they stop, they scan the ground for prey. If they see a worm, they search more thoroughly before moving on. This is because worms tend to live in small groups, so if a blackbird has found one another won’t be far away.
As well as feeding on lawns, blackbirds love fallen leaves. They toss leaves away to find small edible creatures underneath. They will even do the same with snow! But how do they know to dig under that particular bit of snow or to look under a certain leaf? They listen, with very sensitive ears.
