It's Monday! 
It's week 2 of your special learning from home. You could start by singing our days of the week song and don't forget the months of the year song too. Can you remember all the words?
Let's sing 'Hello to the Children of the World'.

Just before we left school we talked about Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey. The people lay palm leaves on the ground. By drawing around your hands can you make a palm tree like this?
We made an Easter Garden too.
Can you draw your own Easter garden?
Draw and label the following – cross, path, grass, stone, tomb
Try to put some of these words in a sentence.

What about one of Andy's Wild Workouts over on the CBeebies i-player? They are really good fun to do too and might be a bit easier.

Don't forget to spend time playing too and to get outside if it is safe to do so and your grown-up says it's ok.
When you are outside what can you spot? Do any birds come and visit you or squirrels? Do the birds sound the same or different? Can your grown-up can help you to find out what the different birds are called?
Missing you all,
Mrs Rogers, Mrs Griffin and Mrs Thompson
