Geography / Art / Spanish Write a weather report each day, what is the

Draw a local habitat including the wildlife and minibeast that live there. Can you use some natural objects from the garden or park to include in your picture to create a collage? Grass, twigs, etc.

Can you recite your numbers to 100 in Spanish?

Maths My answer is 34. I have used 3 numbers to make 34 in total. What numbers and

operations (+, -, x, divide) could I have used? Write the possible number sentences in your homework book. You could repeat with a different number.

In your homework books, partition these numbers (23, 54, 48, 82). Partition them into 10s and 1s first e.g. 23 = 2 tens and 3 ones, and then see if you can find different ways to partition them (e.g. 23- 20+3, 10+13).

Practise your 2, 3, 5, and 10 timetables in your homework book. Play shops with someone in your house. Give each item a price and then practice

giving change to the person who buys it. (e.g. orange is 30p. Mum buys an orange for 50p. How much change does she get?

Reading with Your ChildSome questions to ask your child whilst reading together:

1. Look at the front cover. What could the book be about?

2. Who is the author?

3. What is an illustrator? What do they do?

4. What does that word mean? Read the words around it to help you figure it out

(context).

5. How can you read an unfamiliar word? Can you sound talk and then blend?

6. Who are the main characters?

7. What do you think will happen next?

8. How do you think that character feels? Why? How would you feel in that

situation?

9. Can you predict how the book will end?

10. Who is your favourite character? Why?

11. Is there a hidden message in the story? What is it?

12. Can you retell the story in your own words?

13. Do you like how the story ended? Can you think of another way the book

could have ended?

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION – YEAR 2 – PENTECOST

REVEAL: Spreading the message through the gift of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost

Jesus died on Good Friday and he rose again on Easter Sunday. Jesus’ friends were happy that Jesus was alive again, but Jesus told them he was going back to his Father in heaven. They felt sad about this, but Jesus told them he was going to send them a friend called, the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “The Holy Spirit will lead you and guide you. The Holy Spirit will help you to remember and understand all the things I have done and said to you. The Holy Spirit will teach you everything and help you to know how to live good lives.” The Good News is that the Holy Spirit helps us share God’s love by the way we live our lives. St. Paul wrote this bible reading to Christians living in Rome. We don’t always find it easy to be good or to do the right thing but, we can also ask the Holy Spirit to help us, so we can pass on the Good News by our kindness and goodness. We can think of people who are good and kind who show us the Good News of God’s love.

· Make a list of all the things the Holy Spirit is helping you to do. You might want to take photographs and share them with your school or family.

· Talk together and share ideas about …If we all lived our lives by passing on Good News, being kind and good, what would the world be like? Can you make a drawing, collage or poster showing what this would look like?

· Say the following prayer to the Holy Spirit. You might want to pray this at home with your family or when you go to bed at night. You might want to share it with your family when you contact them. You could write out the prayer and decorate it.

Come Holy Spirit,

fill us with your joy,

fill us with your love,

fill us with your peace.

Help us to spread the Good News of God’s love to everyone.

Amen
