Reading

It is ESSENTIAL that children continue to read every single day. This should be for a minimum of 20 minutes.

 

Write, or draw pictures, from anything you’ve read! Big writing and pictures are even more fun. For example, use an old roll of wallpaper to make a treasure map with clues from the stories you’ve read together.

Oxford Owl – This resource has an exciting range of carefully levelled books to help children learn to read, and love to read.

If parents and children decide to use this resource, we ask they access phase 5 books. Go to https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/ and select ‘my class login’. Scroll down to the red box ‘eBook Library for Letters & Sounds’

This week we will be looking at adjectives with the suffix -full and -less.

 

Adjectives are describing words. Adjectives describe nouns.

You can make your own adjectives, by adding suffixes onto nouns or verbs.

A suffix is a group of letters that we can add onto the end of another word.

The suffix then changes the meaning of the word.

In this worksheet, you are going to add the suffix -ful and the suffix -less.

 

-ful means full of.

Tom's thumb gave him a lot of pain

Tom had a painful thumb.

 

-less means without.

The painter didn't care.

The painter was careless.

 

 

Use the adjectives below and have a go at writing you own sentences.

helpless

colourless

painful

beautiful

wonderful

 

RE

Readings during Mass are read from a lectern. There are readings from the Old Testament and from parts of the New Testament. These are read by people from a book called the Lectionary.

 

The Gospel readings for each Sunday are on a 3 Year cycle. (A, B, C). The Book of the Gospels is

honoured in a special way because Jesus is God’s Son bringing the Good News of God’s love to

everyone (Gospel means Good News. The priest or deacon reads a gospel story from the Book of

Gospels.

 

During the rest of Mass, the priest will read from the Altar Missal. This book contains the prayers the priest uses during Mass. Other books used in church at Mass are hymn books, Mass books and prayer books. These are all used by the congregation to help them to take part. Talk about these books which are used in church.

 

How is the Book of the Gospels is treated?

How do people at Mass greet the Gospel?

Why do you think people make the sign of the Cross three times on themselves before they listen to the Gospel?

What does the priest say before and after he reads the Gospel?

 

Activities to choose from:

  • Design a simple information leaflet about the books we use at church and describe how and why these books are used.
  • Make a bookmark to keep in a prayer book. Decorate it with the names of all the books you have learned about.

 

Additional activities – Calm Art Project

This project offers space to notice and explore these feelings. The four creative activities encourage children to spot, settle, soothe and share their worries so these feelings do not become overwhelming. By doing this children can be helped to feel calm. Please see the attached document and send us any work on Seesaw.

 

We can’t wait to see what you get up to today.
