Art

Have a look at these examples to inspire your own amazing Easter egg design!

Geography

Here is a reminder of what some different Human and Physical features you might be able to spot from your window.

Music

Look at this example of the Dinner Train, then watch the video to remind you about syllables.

This chant sounds like a train getting faster and faster.

It's a dinner menu in reverse.

The last one, SOUP, is just done once, like the train's whistle - very loud and long and high-pitched.

It's really funny!

Notice how each line (except for coffee and soup) has 4 syllables?

When you write your own, remember that each line needs to have 4 syllables.

Here are some ideas of foods you could add to your dinner train:



The Dinner Train

Coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee,

cheese and biscuits

fruit and custard

beef and carrots

fish and chips

SOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!!

2 x 5 = 10

5 x 2 =10

5 + 5 = 10

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 +2 = 10


1 x 4 = 4

4 x 1 = 4

Maths - Arrays

Look at these examples of household arrays.

What can you find to help you make your own?

How many different arrays can you make usuing each household item?

For example in a 6 egg tray, you could fill all of the egg holes and write the number sentence 2 x 3 = 6, because 2 rows of 3 is 6.

You could also make 2 x 2 = 4 by only filling 2 of the spaces in each row.

Don't forget that multiplication and repeated addition are the same! You can add these number sentences to help you teach your families everything you know about multiplication.

R.E

Discuss with your family why you think Easter is important for Christians.

You could even draw a storyboard to show the key events and order they happen in.
