RE w/b Monday 1st June
Hello everyone!
Welcome back! I’ve really enjoyed seeing all your comments and prayers on this blog so do keep them coming!
We have a slightly different video this week.
This video tells a story from the Bible in which WATER plays a big part. Before you watch it, have a think about the Bible stories you know about water – can you guess which story this will be?
Questions:
- What does this story tell us about who Christians believe Jesus is?
- Why is that so important to Christians?
If you would like to, write a prayer about what you’ve learnt about and share it in the comments below so we can all read it.
Year 2 Monday 1st June
Good morning Year 2! Welcome back!
Did you all have a lovely half term? I had a very relaxing week doing lots of reading. Over the weekend, my husband and I watched the SpaceX rocket launch into space! It was really exciting. Ask a grown up if they can help you find a video of it so you can watch it too.
It’s time to start our school learning again. I know it can be difficult to get back into the learning zone after a holiday, but we’ve got lots of exciting activities for you today.
Most of what you need is in your home learning pack. Everything else is below:

Year 2 Friday 22nd May
Good morning Year 2!
How have you been getting on with your learning this week? What things have you been doing for fun? Yesterday, I made ice-cream! I’ve never made ice-cream before but it was really easy and tasted yummy!
You may have noticed that I am not setting assignments on Busy Things any more. However, do still keep using the website and choosing your own activities to do there – it’s a great place to play some games and practise lots of your key learning from the year.
Today, most of you will get a delivery of your next home learning pack. It is for after half term so don’t start on it straight away as you will need the blog posts to go with them!
I won’t be blogging next week as it’s the half term holiday. I hope you have a lovely break from your school learning and can enjoy being outside and doing lots of exciting things!
Below is everything you need for your learning today.
Literacy
Today, you are doing something a little bit different to finish our Castles and Knights topic.
Jack and the Beanstalk PDF Book
Maths
Today is all about problem solving.
Here are three sets of challenges. You could choose one or try them all!
Everything else you need for today is in your home learning packs.
Here are the links from the topic grid for this week (w/b 18th May).
Also remember to have a look at the RE Lessons blog today if you haven’t done that yet.
