Monday 13th July Skylarks home learning

Date: 12th Jul 2020 @ 6:09pm

Good morning everyone!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and I cannot wait to see you all this morning for our transition day. You will spend the day with myself and Mrs Whittingham playing a range of fun outdoor (socially distanced) games. This will help Mrs Whittingham get to know you before September and will give me a chance to say goodbye to you all before I move to my new school in September.

As there are only 4 days left until our Summer holidays (I can’t believe I am writing this). I thought that this week it would be nice to give you a range of one off lessons and more creative and fun things to do to wind down.

English

As you are all such brilliant writers, it would be lovely for you to write a letter during today and tomorrow. I would like you to spend today (as I know you will be in school) writing down ideas. I would like you to write a letter to either your new class teacher or your current one, telling them about yourself, what you have enjoyed doing since not being in school, a new skill you may have learnt and something that you still want to improve and get better at.

To help you to do this, you can follow this lesson… https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z2gq4xs

Science

Last week, you may have chosen to make a moving space toy or just design one. To delve deeper into your learning of space, it would be nice for you to have a go at the following lesson: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zmw3hcw

Reading

Please click on the following link to carry on listening to some of your teachers and familiar faces reading you the story of ‘The Twits’ by Roald Dahl. The Twits Part 2- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRnox40nSLo&t=18s

Message from Mrs Powell:

Sometimes people make us sad. When it comes to being hurt, the bravest, happiest, strongest thing we can do is to forgive.  Forgiving is not to hold onto the hurt and to let it go.  Jesus said to forgive not 7 times but 77 times.  What can we do today to love someone else more? 

Jesus instructs us to forgive others over and over again just like he does for us. He clearly teaches his disciples in this story that they are to forgive “seventy seven times” or over and over again

Just like his forgiveness doesn’t run out, neither should our own. Use this story to share with your child that we should forgive others just as he forgives us. Jesus provided the way and the model for humility and forgiveness. His example is one we can follow daily because parents, siblings, teachers, friends and loved ones will make mistakes that affect us.

“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32

Take care everyone!

Miss Thwaites and Mrs Hulse x
