RE:

This week is RE - Lesson 4.The document includes detailed parental guidance and some background knowledge required for teaching the activity. It is important that these lessons are completed with an adult. Push your child's thinking and help them to make religious or personal links, where possible. 

Spanish:

I have uploaded some new Spanish resources below. We are continuing with food. Use the powerpoint for practice, before attempting the tasks.  Remember, online and YouTube have some fantastic resources to support teaching/learning Spanish, too! Do you know somebody who can speak Spanish? Maybe you could zoom/facetime them and practise with them!

Guided Reading:

Please do continue to access 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' text and study guide - I have reuploaded this for those asking for it. Read a chapter then locate the associated activities for that chapter in the study guide. 

This week we will be learning about Native Americans in our Cross-Curricular 'Road Trip, USA!' learning. Therefore, I would like you to read about two important Native American women: Pocahontas and Sacagawea.

I have uploaded some reading comprehensions below about these two famous Native American women.

PE/Exercise:

It is incredibly important that we keep our bodies healthy too. At 9am Mondays and Wednesdays,  Joe Wicks livestreams a workout for children on YouTube. Just type in 'PE with Joe' just before 9am. He will also be doing a session on Saturday mornings now.

You could also go for walks, bike rides, exercise or play sports in the garden/park/outdoor space - whatever you have access to and can manage. Stay fit, eat healthily and get enough sleep at night.

General:

Remember to read and practise your times tables everyday for at least 10-20 minutes.
