more than just stretching. They open the energy channels throughout the

body, increasing flexibility of the spine, strengthening bones and stimulating

the circulatory and immune systems. Along with proper breathing, these

poses or asanas also calm the mind and reduce stress.

A regular yoga practice helps with overall physical and mental health.

Performing the poses slowly and with mindful control also acts as a mental

exercise in concentration and meditation.

Cross Curricular - History

Have you seen the news coming from America over the last two weeks?

Use the link here if you are unsure of any of the recent events: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/52813673

This week feels like a good opportunity to research and celebrate an important figure from black history.

Harriet Tubmanhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p015gp0z

Watch the above link on Harriet Tubman. She was born into slavery in 1820, she grew up working in the cotton fields. At that time, slavery was legal and people like Harriett had no choice about their lives. She witnessed another slave escape and when she was older, escaped herself.

It was a long and lonely journey to freedom.

However, when she reached the border with Pennsylvania, she realised she needed to help others escape too.

A network of helpers, known as 'The Underground Railroad', helped slaves on their way to freedom.

Harriet took groups of slaves through the forest to freedom and throughout her life she helped to free over 70 slaves.

TaskMake notes whilst watching the film of key events and dates throughout Harriet’s life. We would like you to create a timeline of Harriet’s life. See below for an example.

ASPIRE
