Numbers
CHALLENGE: what is 2 less than....?
- Greedy Gorilla has 10 bananas in a basket. His mummy says he can eat 1 banana. How many bananas are left? How many bananas would be left if Greedy Gorilla ate another banana? Try drawing some pictures to help you.
- Empty a packet of raisins. If there are more than 20 in the packet, ask a grown-up to help you count out 20. Each time you eat a raisin, count how many are left.
There are lots of songs you can sing to help you remember one less than each number. You could sing ‘10 Green Bottles’, ‘10 Little Men in a Flying Saucer’ or ‘5 Little Speckled Frogs’. You could try changing the songs to sing from 20!

Religion
Topic: GOOD NEWS
For Christians, the Gospel is the Good News of God’s love for everyone.
Parents or siblings can you read this story and then ask the following questions. If needed, re-read the story if this helps your child answer the questions.
Luke’s story of Pentecost.
After Jesus had gone back to his Father in heaven, his friends were sad. They missed him. They felt lonely and afraid without him. On Pentecost day, they were all together in the house. Crowds of people came to Jerusalem to celebrate the feast. The friends of Jesus did not go out to join them. They stayed all together in the house. They talked about Jesus and remembered what he had told them. As the wind filled the room, they began to feel different. Joy and happiness filled their hearts. It was wonderful. They knew that Jesus had kept his promise to send a new friend, the Holy Spirit. “Let’s go out and join the crowds.” Peter said. “Let’s tell them the Good News that Jesus is alive.”
Based on Acts 2: 1-4
It is difficult at this age for children to understand the abstract concept of the Holy Spirit. We use images such as air and wind to help us explain the power of the Holy Spirit. The effects of these elements are what we want the children to explore and thereby deepen their understanding.
Task:
Think of a sad time. What happened? How did you act/behave? Did you ask anyone for help? How could the sad time also be a happy time? Can you draw a picture of this time? Can you label your picture? You might want to write a sentence to explain this time.
For example: I was sad when I left my teddy on a bus. I cried and told my mum. She hugged me. My mum went to the bus station and looked in the lost and found. My mum brought my teddy back home. I was so happy and I had a big smile on my face. This was a happy time because my mum helped me to make me feel better.
We thank God that sad times can also be happy times. We may not be able to go to school every day but we are lucky that we can spend more time with our family.
