We are all part of God's vine and are rooted in His rich soil. We are nurtured and supported so that we may grow and spread out into the world to love and to serve.

Home Learning Guidelines:

Use the grid below to help structure your child’s home learning. We would encourage children to complete at least 2 activities from each column and record their learning experience in their challenge book. This could be done in a variety of ways. For example, writing a few sentences about what they learnt, drawing a picture, sticking in a photograph, completing a thought bubble etc.

To support your child at home with reading we ask that your child reads at least 4 times a week. Remember there are lots of resources to support reading on our website.

There is no expectation that your child completes the home learning challenges if they are unwell or if circumstances at home are such that the completion of the tasks cause unnecessary stress and anxiety to the household.

Pretend that you are a commentator on your favourite sport. Write a commentary for a game or match, record it or perform it to your family. You could comment on a football game, a round of golf, a tennis match, a swimming race.

Find a picture of your favourite sportsperson and create a picture of them. You can choose to sketch using pencils, paint, collage, charcoals, etc. You choose and use whatever art materials you have at home.

Or you could use the attached information about Matisse’s cut out art called “painting with scissors” to create dancing figures. (see below).

Did you enjoy the VE Day celebrations? Ask your parents about your family history in World War 2. Did you have grandparents or great grandparents who served in the armed forces in the war? You may like to phone or video call your grandparents to find out about their experiences or their parent’s experiences in the war. Present your findings any way you want – an interview, a story, a newspaper report, a drawing/photo or collage with labels and writing. It’s up to you.

There are some sports related maths problems attached below. Choose which level suits you: core, challenge or super challenge! Can you make up your own sports related maths questions using some of the knowledge about converting units and time?

Create a mindfulness glitter jar.

1. Use a mason jar, jam jar or even a plastic bottle.

2. Use glitter that floats rather than sinks and add glycerine if you have it to slow the glitter down.

3. Make an eco-friendly one using small beads, food colouring and oil or even pieces of Lego.

4. Fill the jar to the top with water.

Write a sports poem. Could you use sounds from the sport? Descriptions of the game, colours, noises, smells, feelings? Be creative and see what you come up with.

Pulse rate: Each day, before you do PE, find your pulse rate, take your resting pulse rate for 30 secs and then double the amount of beats you counted. Record the rate. Do the PE activity. Take your pulse rate immediately after exercise and record. After 5 mins and 10 mins, take your pulse rate again and record. See the sheet below.

Find out everything you can about your favourite sports person. Create a report on this person using some of the interesting facts you found.
