Mindful Meditation Day
Jodie Webber
Wednesday, 14 April 2021
Hello children, My name is Jodie and I am a children’s author. Today I am joined by my daughter, Bobbie and Mystic Bunny Boy. We would like to welcome you to 'Mindful Meditation Day'. Mindfulness and Mediation are two different ways you can use your brain to help you feel happier, think better and sleep peacefully – how amazing is that? Meditating is when you use your mind to take you somewhere else, and think happy things. Mindfulness is when you concentrate on where you are and what you are doing, to make your mind feel calm and happy! We’ve got some fun activities to learn all about this today, including colouring, an outdoor activity and singing! Plus, at the end of the day we’ll be reading to you our special bedtime book called ‘Mystic Bunny Boy Walks The Rainbow’
We hope you enjoy today as much as we will!

Computers and Algorithms
Becky
Monday, 22 June 2020
Becky and Ivy take us through today's activities. Computers are an integral part of our daily lives, especially at the moment. Even young children are good at using devices that contain computers. Today’s activities ask children to question how the computers around us work. We are exploring the idea that all computers follow instructions and that the instructions must be in order to get the result we want. In other words, computers follow algorithms. Computing is great fun and doesn’t have to involve actual computers! The activities today will help children to understand a fundamental concept of computing and enjoy themselves along the way!
