Practise reading all of the words in your word box. Remember… being able to read and spell all of your common words is a very important task. Choose another fun way to practise this weeks words.
Reading– I have assigned a book to you called “A Box Can Be Many Things”. Please read it aloud to someone in your family. Today I would like you to see what you can make out of an empty box at home. Use your imagination, a box really can be anything that you want. In my house we have made so many things from boxes: cars, trains, pirate ships, robots, TVs, treehouses. I’m sure that you can think of loads of other good ideas. Send me some pictures of your creations, I would love to see them.
Numeracy
Let’s start off with some counting.
Can you count to 100 in 1s? Count in twos to 20. Count in tens to 100. Count back from 30 to 1.
Let’s practise some more subtraction.

RE – Let’s say a special Hail Mary for anyone that you would like to pray for. Here is a little song for you, I wonder if you could listen to the music and try to sing along to the tune.
May is the month of Mary,
Month we all love so well;
Mary is God’s own Mother,
Gladly her praise we tell.
Chorus:
Mary is beautiful, Mary is fair!
Gladly we praise her
in song and in prayer.
Blue is the sky in Maytime,
Bright is the sun above,
Bluebells all nod in chorus
Joining our song of love.
Chorus:
Mary is beautiful, Mary is fair!
Gladly we praise her
in song and in prayer.
I hope you have a great day and can’t wait to see those pictures of your box creations.
Keep smiling 😁🌈
