These power points can be covered in that order and then please ask your child to write a few sentences about what has happened, how the disciples felt about what they had witnessed and what it means for us now as followers of Jesus.

WEDNESDAY - Art - This half term we will focus on drawing. We will think about what it means to be 'good' at drawing. We will experiment with mark making in our sketch book and use a variety of media; pencils, crayons, pastels, felt tips and chalk to begin to explore the different outcomes these tools create. We will be thinking all about how colours can make us feel. We will begin to learn about the properties of colour and how to select colours for our art to express an emotion. As we only have Art once a week, please feel free to pick the session that most interests your child.

We will then think about acts of kindness that we can do for others. We will look at a range of scenarios that commonly occur amongst friends and discuss whether they are fair or unfair. We will then consider how we can act fairly to everyone and not just our close friends.
