WC 24.01.22

Home Learning – Week Commencing 24.01.22

Reading – Please read one of the books you have been assigned on Rising Stars each day. The idea is to read a book more than once to build up fluency. Once you have read a book a couple/few times so you are more fluent, please complete the quiz at the end and move it to the ‘finished’ section.

Please also read key words daily as flashcards (should take 2-3 minutes)

Topic

Monday – Look at pictures of different religious buildings using the Places of Worship powerpoint (link below). Discuss shape, features, building materials, colour etc. Do any of the buildings look similar? What kind of buildings are they? Ask children what they think happens in each of the buildings – talk about praying to God, weddings, christenings etc.
