Introduction

Please spend the time listening and watching the introduction video below, so that you are clear of the expectations for this week's remote learning.

As stated in the video, feedback will be provided by an adult for work emailed in using the gmail address, so please make use of this. 

Additionally, I will be reading the class book to the children in school on a Friday afternoon at 2:00pm. I would like children at home to have the opportunity to be involved in this and can be done by using Microsoft Teams. This can be done through an internet browser or can be downloaded as an app on most devices. If you would like to be involved in this then please email Mr Roberts on the email address below by 3:00pm Thursday, so that a link can be sent to attend this.

Lesson 5: R.E (30minutes) - The children have started learning about Buddhism and the festival of Losar, which is New Year in the Buddhist's religion. Tibetans (a type of Buddhist) take the chance for a fresh start with the new year. Homes and monasteries are cleaned, tidied and decorated and that Tibetans wear new clothes. They also take this as a chance to settle any arguments from the previous year so they can start fresh. Discuss the following questions:

 - What does ‘turning over a new leaf’ mean?

 - Has anyone heard of this saying before?
 - What is a new year’s resolution?
Resolutions are personal so will probably be different for each person. Some could be: Be able to do joined up handwriting, learn how to tie shoelaces, get a gold card etc.

Task: Children to write their own resolution in the cleaning bottle which represents a fresh start.
