Good Morning Everybody!
I hope everybody is safe and well this morning and ready for another day of home learning with me.
RME
Hopefully everyone got a chance to watch the Easter Bible story yesterday and now has an understanding of why we celebrate Easter. In case you missed the youtube clip here is a PowerPoint also detailing the main points.
Have a go at drawing your favourite part of the Easter story and you could even add some labels to your pictures.
Writing
I thought that today we could have a go at writing a little Easter themed story. I have written the start and your job is to finish it off for me. I know how wonderfully imaginative you all are so can’t wait to hear what you come up with.
The Easter Surprise.
Suddenly there was a strange cracking sound. To everyone’s surprise the egg split open and out popped……..
Finish the story… What popped out of the egg? What did it look like? What did it say and do?
Share your ideas with an adult and have a go at writing the next part of the story together. Don’t forget to use your writing targets.
We are learning to write in sentences.
Successful learners always
- Use a capital letter at the start of a sentence
- Use a full stop at the end of a sentence
- Use finger spaces to space out our words
- Try to sound out words we don’t know by listening to the sounds
Draw a picture to go with your work and check you have written the date and the title at the top of the page. Good luck and I can’t wait to hear all the fantastic ideas you come up with! You could get an adult to take a picture of your work and email into the school office. This is the school email address.

Art and Technology
It wouldn’t be Easter and the end of term without some Easter Arts and Crafts to complete. I know its really tricky to get craft supplies just now and in the Stevenson household we are running low too, so don’t worry if you can’t get any of the resources you can use what you have!
If we were in school today we would have been making some Easter cards. Here are some ideas for you to have a go with. If you don’t have the supplies you can always fold a piece of paper in half and decorate it with some colouring pencils with an Easter picture.
Maths
As a fun little maths challenge today. I have attached a 2D shape cutting skills activity. This is one you will need to get an adult to print for you unfortunately.

Mrs Anderson says hello and she wanted me to add these 2 little activities for you to complete at home.
Numeracy
Here is your Daily Five for today. Yesterday we focused on addition of doubles. Today let’s focus on subtraction of doubles. Do you notice anything interesting about your answers? Don’t forget to use your tools and talk about your answers to an adult.
5 – 5 = 3 – 3 = 1 – 1 =
2 – 2 = 4 – 4 =
That’s all for today boys and girls. Mrs Lockhart will be adding some activities for you all tomorrow on your last day of term. I wish you all a very ‘Hoppy Easter’ and hope you all stay safe and happy.
A little shout out to another extremely kind friend who decided to make Easter packs for all his friends and deliver them when he was out on his daily walk. This made my heart sing and once again brightened up my day yesterday. Take care everybody. I miss you all.
