We are all part of God's vine and are rooted in His rich soil. We are nurtured and supported so that we may grow and spread out into the world to love and to serve.

Home Learning Guidelines:

Use the grid below to help structure your child’s home learning. We would encourage children to complete at least 2 activities from each column and record their learning experience in their challenge book. This could be done in a variety of ways. For example, writing a few sentences about what they learnt, drawing a picture, sticking in a photograph, completing a thought bubble etc.

To support your child at home with reading we ask that your child reads at least 4 times a week. Remember there are lots of resources to support reading on our website.

There is no expectation that your child completes the home learning challenges if they are unwell or if circumstances at home are such that the completion of the tasks causes unnecessary stress and anxiety to the household.

The highlighted activities on the learning grid show which activities the children will complete in school.

SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING: How plants transport water.One of the reasons that even wet summers can still end in drought is the efficiency of plants at moving water from the ground to their upper reaches where it evaporates from the surface of the foliage. The process is called transpiration and it’s essential for moving water to all parts of plants, even to the tops of the

Coordinates: Use the coordinate grid below to plot the points and reveal the letter then reflect.A point on a grid has two numbers to identify its position. These numbers are known as coordinates. Coordinates are always written as the number of steps across first, then the number of steps up or down. Grids have two axes. The horizontal axis is called the x-axis and the vertical axis is called the y-axis. These axes can be used to find a point on a grid. Remember you always give the x-axis reading first, then the ‘y-axis’. It might help

Continuing our exploration of the big question “Can we know what God is like?” use the Coventry Cathedral website to explore examples of holiness, love and forgiveness. There are excellent examples of the art and architecture to explore. What happened after Nazi bombers destroyed the Cathedral in Coventry in 1940? The provost made a charred cross out of burnt roof timbers. He had the words ‘Father Forgive’ engraved on the wall behind the altar. See the cathedral website. Coventry Cathedral

Compass Directions (Geography):The top of most maps is north and a compass can be used to find which direction north is. Compasses show four directions - north, east, south and west. The needle always points north, so when that is lined up with the map it is easy to see in which direction things are.

“Can we know what God is like?”- What does God hate? Seven things that God hates are listed in Proverbs 6: 16–19, this Bible text gives a definite picture of ‘what kind of God’ the writer believes in. Here, God does not hate any person, but the actions that hurt or harm the community. The book of Proverbs is classified as ‘Wisdom’ literature. As its name suggests, it is full of pithy sayings to guide people in living well. It is full of practical and concrete comments, not theoretical or abstract. This description of what God hates is not a theoretical account of the nature of God but a clear and direct call to moral behaviour. It is because God loves humanity and the whole Earth that these things are hateful. Can you find out what the seven things are from the bible passage?
