For Maths, we are currently studying Statistics. Previous topics have included ‘place value’ and ‘addition and subtraction’, so it would be beneficial for you to visit the websites below to recap any missed learning. The White Rose Maths link will provide you with teaching videos and questions to try at home. For English, we are currently reading ‘Eric’ by Shaun Tan, I have provided a link of the short story below. We are also reading ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class’ by Onjali Q. Rauf.

I hope that this information will be useful.

Wednesday Word 14/10/2020

This week’s Wednesday Word is available here.

Wednesday Word from Matthew 22:15-21

This week’s Wednesday word is GRATITUDE.

1. What does the word ‘gratitude’ mean to you?
2. When have you felt grateful to someone? What words, actions or gestures did you use to demonstrate your gratitude to them?
3. There are many things for us to be grateful to God for. Write a prayer of thanks to God, demonstrating your gratitude for all the blessings He has given to you. It could include things that he has given you that you are grateful for, or it could be something He has helped you with. Decorate your prayer when you have finished.
