Can you draw some different coins and write the amounts too?
RE: Jesus heals a man at the pool of Bethesda
Read the story - Cure of the man at the pool. Talk about how Jesus helped a person who was ill and how he healed him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1cykPOiMuY
Key Questions
Where did Jesus go? Who did he see? Why were the people there? What were they waiting for? What was going to happen? Who did Jesus speak to? What did he say to him? What happened next?
Write simple sentences/phrases for different ways they could help the sick e.g. We can send flowers.
Watch another of Jesus’ miracles of how he heals a man born blind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4qZ2KSbdxI

Home learning Keeping healthy and Growing day 5, by Miss Mclaren
Date: 5th Feb 2021 @ 10:35am
Hi Preschool, keep doing your amazing work and uploading when you can.
Start off today with a warm up with Joe Wicks
Today we are focusing on Expressive art and design
1
Today we will be thinking about different patterns and prints we can make using different objects.
If you have any left over fruit that you will not be using and some paint, have a go at printing using different fruits.
If you don’ have paint but you have food colouring you can mix a small amount of flour and water together with the food colouring so it’s a very wet consistency and try painting with that. Can you make a pattern?
What do you notice? If it is an apple can you see the seeds?
An orange/tangerine can you see the segments?
If you are unable to do the painting, try having a go at drawing the Hungry caterpillar and the beautiful butterfly. Can you create a pattern for the caterpillars body using different colours?
2
Egg box caterpillar,
Can you make a caterpillar using an egg box and some resources from the garden/park or from around your house? Glue on some eyes and antenna and legs.
3
Well being activity
Make a fruit pizza, using a biscuit as a base and then adding on top your favorite fruit, I like using strawberries and grapes.
Have fun and have a loveky weekend.
