Hi Everyone!

Just a quick message about the Grammar Practice that some of you were doing before we broke up. You can get free copies of familiarisation tests for English, Maths and Verbal Reasoning on the GL Assessment website which is linked in on the LRGS and LGGS websites. There are two of every test so that would give you one per week for the next 6 weeks.

TODAY’S LEARNING: MATHS, ENGLISH, R.E., STILLING TIME

When you are asked to pause the video to complete the activity, pause it and then click on Next activity. You can then click to read the passage and then answer the questions. The video is minimised at the top right hand-side of the screen for you to go back to.

R.E.

L.I. – To explore the significance of the life of Jochebed –

Who was she? (Moses mother)

Watch the clip below to find out about the early life of Moses:

https://youtu.be/vf-4x4iefQE

Watch this short clip from the Disney film The Prince of Egypt which focusses on Jochebed’s decision to try to save Moses.   Moses’ mother, sister and brother run from their home to escape the soldiers and take baby Moses to the river in his basket.

https://youtu.be/1-WimijgGEU

Have a go at talking through your thoughts about the following questions with someone at home:

  1. Why did Moses’ mother put him in a basket to float him down the river?
  2. What would have happened if she had not done this?
  3. How was she feeling?
  4. Why could this be described as a significant moment?

Now  have a go at the next task. You could print the sheet off, copy it into your book or do it on a Word Document.

R.E. Monday 27th April
