It’s Magnificent Monday.     Can you think of some things that you have done that you could describe as being magnificent?

I hope that you all had a lovely weekend and that you are all ready for some more exciting learning.

Today’s specific activities:

1. English - Monsters

Listen and enjoy There’s a Monster in Your Book by Tom Fletcher:

Make sure you join in with blowing and making the loud noise to get the monster out of the book!

Discuss how you would feel if there was a monster in one of your books. How would you try and get it out? How would you feel? How do you think the monster felt when you were trying to tickle him or shake him out? Once the monster was out of the book, why do you think you needed to get him back into the book? How do you think he felt when he was allowed back into the book at the end? What do you think he might say at this point?

Can you draw the monster and write a sentence or two to show what he might say?

3. RE:

Today I would like you to think about Church.

Remember last week when you drew a picture of your Church? Then you thought about the things that are inside the Church. Today I would like you to think about a very special place in Church. It is the place where we keep Jesus. Have a look at the pictures:

Do you know what this place is called? It is called the Tabernacle. When Jesus is inside the Tabernacle there is a red light which glows to show that Jesus is there. Have you seen the Tabernacle and the red light in Church? Look on the photo of Our Lady’s Church and see if you can spot them. (You might need to zoom in!)

Can you draw a Tabernacle? Maybe you could put flaps on the paper before you draw your Tabernacle so that then you open the flaps (the door) you can see Jesus inside.

Write a sentence about the Tabernacle.

Remember to sound out carefully when you are writing.

I hope that you have a lovely day!

Take care and stay safe,

3. RE:

Today I would like you to think about the Sign of the Cross.

It is a special sign which we make when we start and finish our prayers and it is a sign we make when we go into Church.  There is a special prayer which we say when we make the Sign of the Cross and it reminds us that we are part of God’s family. We also have another prayer which we sometimes say in school which also reminds us of this. Can you practise this prayer?

                From my head to my heart

                From one shoulder to the other

                I belong to you God my Father.

Can you match the words to the pictures for making the sign of the cross?

Can you practise making the Sign of the Cross and saying the prayers.?

I hope that you have a lovely day!

Take care and stay safe,
