RE
Our RE topic was looking at the importance of the resurrection for Christians. Remind yourself of the Easter story here.
What do you think about this statement 'Easter is more important than Christmas to Christians'. Do you agree? Do you disagree? What arguments could their be on either side?
Decorate a cross, this will be a competition and the winning design will be made from wood and put on display. There is a template here.

Link with School in Guiyang China
We have a link with the Prime Academy school in Guiyang, China. The pupils there are also learning from home. It helps their English to practise speaking, listening and reading it.
Some members of Oak Class made some videos asking the pupils of Prime Academy some questions. Prime pupils have answered one of the questions - what food they eat! They have sent pictures and explanations of their typical meals. Have a look and see how similar they are to yours.
Click here to download the pictures and their descriptions with some questions for you to think about.
Prime pupils would love to see some typical English meals. Can you take photos and describe your typical day's food to show them? Upload to Seesaw or email to Mrs Hayes.
