If you go out today you could look out for these things. Winter is still here, but there are some signs of Spring coming!

Bubbles are not just for the summer! I tried to freeze some on the morning frost. I wonder if you can get it to work?  (I think it needs to be really cold.)

RE

We are all part of a family – big families, small families, and most importantly… God’s family!

A family will always be there to love and support you, even when things go wrong.

We all have different families and we all play a different role in the families that we are a part of. It is important to remember that our differences are something good because if we were all the same, it just wouldn’t work!

Most importantly we must remember to work together, using all of our different strengths and talents, so that love is at the center of all our families.

Watch the song clip from Lion King 2

What is the message in this song?

What does Simba try to teach his daughter?

This song tells us a lot about families. Even though sometimes things go wrong our families are still there “filled with hope and filled with pride” because they love us, no matter what.

It can be difficult when our plans change but our families are there to stand by us and to support us.

Here is a prayer for you:

Thank you Lord for giving us people to love and support us even when things don’t go as we have planned.

Help us to help our families and to support them too.

Amen.

Think about what you would say (or sing!) to your family to let them know that you love them and support them. HOw can you help your family?

Perhaps you can write it down, record it, or draw it!

Talk through the story of Handa. What happens at the beginning, middle and end of the story?

Write a sentence to show what happens at each of these parts of the story. Remember to use our checklist to help you write your sentences. 

You could draw a picture to show as well. 

There is a reading comprehension sheet for today. Read the sentences, no need to print out. You could draw the pictures on paper. 

Maths

Today we are looking back over skills already covered and applying them in reasoning and problem solving. Often children can say how something is worked out much better than writing it. Please scribe how your child answers the questions if needed. 

Phonics

Let's look again at some tricky words with Felix. 

There are many games on phonics play to practice tricky words across all the phases. 

Activity afternoon

This weekend the RSPB Big Garden bird watch starts.  You might like to sit quietly this afternoon watching which birds come to your garden. Or get outside and see what you can spot when out on a walk. There are some ideas here for bird feeders, and many more on the internet. 

Keep a record of what you see. I'm going to also give it a go. I wonder what you will spot?
