Today we are going to be remembering what makes a good friend and thinking about how we can carry on being good friends to each other while we are still social distancing.Can you record one or two things that make a good friend?Think about why it is important to have friends.

Feelings of good mental health Sharing Self-esteem Laughter is good for us Helps us to talk through ideas and worries

Look at your list and identify which of these are affected by social distancing right now.

Does this mean that you are not friends if you can’t do these things?

Just because we cannot always hug our friends, or playthe same games we always used to, it does not mean that we are not friends, just that we have to enjoy other ways of playing until the social distancing stops. Even when we cannot actually see each other or talk to each other, friends are still there and will be the same people that you like to have fun with and care for.

Key Questions: How are rivers formed?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z849q6f/articles/z7w8pg8

How are rivers formed?

• Rivers usually begin in upland areas, when rain falls on high ground and begins to flow downhill. They always flow downhill because of gravity.

• They then flow across the land - meandering - or going around objects such as hills or large rocks. They flow until they reach another body of water.

• As rivers flow, they erode - or wear away - the land. Over a long period of time rivers create valleys, or gorges and canyons if the river is strong enough to erode rock. They take the sediment - bits of soil and rock - and carry it along with them.

• Small rivers are usually known as streams, brooks or creeks. If they flow from underground they are called springs.
