We are moving onto quarters in Maths https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/

I thought that this "Playing together but apart" lesson will help us to understand the new ways that we can play with our friends.

Life is vey different for us all at the minute but our friendships haven't disappeared. Don't forget that you can send your friend a message in a safe way on our discussions page. It is lovely that some of you have visited that page and chatted wtht me. It would be lovely to talk to you all that way. 

A 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

Have you read the book The BFG by Roald Dahl? Why not try making a BFG dream jar? There are some instructions available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52xhSTjBea0

What ever you do today Swallows, have fun, stay safe and remember to always use your Christian Values. You are excellent at showing our values every day in the classroom. They are friendship, love, hope, forgiveness, respect and courage. Now is a time for really focusing on hope and courage as we need to be brave when we are feeling a little shaky and be hopeful about when we can all return together. 

Love from Mrs Rice and Mrs Elson xxx
