Thursday 11th June Skylarks home learning

Date: 10th Jun 2020 @ 5:20pm

Good morning Skylarks class,

As you are aware, you would be having cello and violin lessons in school. I know a few of you did not take your instruments home when school closed. Therefore, Edsential who teach you have put together a timetable of lessons you could where you learn about musical terms and go through different activities. Please see attached to this blog the document.

For my birthday, my partner bought me a ukulele and I know how fantastic you all are at the Ukulele, maybe there is something you could teach me? You could share these with me on our discussion page. Maybe you could write a song?

Message from Mrs Powell:

What would you like to be when they grow up?  Many people have dreams about the future and that is good. Have a look at the following video: https://youtu.be/ECP87EFic48

The video below tells the story of Joseph, a famous dreamer from the Bible. When Pharaoh put him in prison, Joseph dreamt of being let out, but it wasn’t until Pharaoh had some dreams of his own that Joseph was called upon to help and secured his own release from prison.

It is good to dream of being happy when we are older: happiness is vital! However, Jesus pointed out something important about happiness.

Jesus said that people would be happy if  they did the following
- care about other people
- always try to be fair and just
- are kind and show mercy
- work to make peace

Dear God,
Please help us to work hard to achieve our ambitions and to become what we want to be.
Whatever we do or however we live our life, help us to remember the needs of others.
Help us to care about other people, to be fair and just,
To be kind and merciful and to make peace, wherever we are.
Amen.

Further activities you could have a go at… you could try making a dreamcatcher to catch your own dreams. There are some instructions available at: https://tinyurl.com/y7acpruh
