Good morning everyone, I am wondering how tired you all were after a great virtual sports day! Thank you to those who emailed videos and put up twitter pictures. It was great to see you all looking so well and dare I say it, out of breath!!!
Let’s start with our morning prayer and a Hail Mary.
Literacy
For the rest of this week, I want you to revise your phoneme from last week.
- P3 – ough
- P4 – ow
Choose some from your list and use them in a sentence, you can write these down if you want. I was very impressed with some of your phoneme stories last week, thank you for those.
Quizzes are very popular just now and I have set you one below all about St Barbara’s parish and community. You may have to do a bit of research to answer these and that is fine. After you have completed this, create your own quiz on any topic of your choice, e.g Disney films, Children’s novels, The Spanish language etc Send it to me and I will put it up on our Shining stars wall for all to see and have a go!
Maths
Again, well done to everyone who took part in the Sumdog challenge. Today let’s practising counting out loud. Let’s start counting in 1’s to 100, 2’s to 100, 5’s to 100 and 10’s to 100.
I also want you to say your times tables like we do in class – chanting. Do this to the 6x. You like to play BINGO in class, choose your 6 answers between the 2-6x and ask an adult to shout out times tables questions for you. It would be good to play against someone else, a sibling or another adult.
Recap on Time from last week:
Write these times in digital format using the 12 hour clock.
- Half past 12
- 5 o’clock
- Half past 3
- Quarter past 1
- 10 o’clock
- Quarter to 7
- 9 o’clock
- Quarter past 2
RE
When Jesus needed to feel very close to his Father, what did he do? – He would pray. Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, before he was betrayed by Judas. He prayed before he raised Lazarus from the dead and Jesus prayed during the Last Supper, before he broke the bread. Like us Jesus needed to share his worries and problems with his heavenly Father; he knew that he was never alone. Just as we are never alone. God is always with us.
When we pray we are having a conversation with God. When we talk to God, he listens. We don’t have to have special times for saying prayers. Often we say them at bedtime but we can talk to God at any time. Do you ever feel unsure about what to say to God? Don’t worry as God our Father likes to hear about everything we have to tell him and he is always ready to listen.
The apostles knew how important it was to pray to God but like us they often felt uncertain about how to pray. One day they asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. What was the prayer that Jesus taught them? – The Our Father.
Watch this short video about how Jesus taught his disciples the Our Father:
Let’s say the Our Father now. I have copied the words to help you if you need it.
I would like you to download the picture below if you can and colour it in. If you can’t download it why not draw a picture like this one.
