Have a look at the picture with your child...

Following on from your reading task today let’s see how many tricky words you can write!
Grown ups - Can you ask your child to write some of these tricky words - I, no, go, to, the, she, he, we, me, be, my. Just say the word out loud and see if your child can write the word from memory. If they are struggling try clapping the word for them such as - T H E - the. Say the letter name as you clap the word.
If they are still struggling, you can write the words down for the children to copy and then have a go at covering the word and see if they can remember how to do it.

Literacy task:
On the run up to Easter, Christian’s take part in Lent, which is the 40 days leading up to Easter Sunday.
During Lent, a lot of Christians give up something they really like for the whole 40 days as this is what Jesus had to do when he was fasting in the desert.
Have a think of something you really like that you would choose to give up for Lent. Draw a picture and write down what you would give up in a sentence.
For example…
I would give up chocolate because I eat far too much of it and I know it would make me more healthy if I did not eat it! (Mrs Dowling)
Or if you did not want to give something up you can choose something that you would start doing every day to make someone happier.
Maths task:
During Easter we usually give/receive Easter eggs. This is because Easter eggs symbolise new life.
Ask your grown up to draw you a large Easter egg on a piece of paper. Can you decorate the egg by creating a repeating pattern.
Remember a repeating pattern is a pattern of colour, shape or objects that always repeats!
Have a go at completing these patterns…
1 2 1 2 1 _ _
red blue green red blue _____ _____
A Z Z A Z Z A _ _
Decorate your easter egg using a repeating pattern, keep checking throughout to make sure your pattern repeats!
Challenge: Have a look around the house to see if there is anything you could make a pattern with? Or in your back garden? Such as stone, stick, leaf, stone, stick, leaf and so on…
