Good Morning Reception!

I have missed writing to you these last few days. I really hope you are all keeping safe and having lots of fun at home with all of your families.

We are going to start with our Palm Sunday celebrations. Please take a look st Mr Davis’ Blog. There are lots of lovely prayer ideas you can do at home.

Palm Sunday

Can you answer these questions?

  1. Who is Jesus?
  2. Why is Jesus special? 
  3. Which animal did Jesus ride in our story?
  4. What did the people wave? 
  5. What did the people shout to Jesus? 

You could make your own palms and wave them as Jesus enters Jerusalem. If you don’t have any paper don’t worry you can wave scarves, coats and material.

Money! What do you already know about money? Ask your adult if they have some coins you can take a look at. You need money to be able to buy lots of nice things. Watch and listen to the story of Hassan. He is going to show you how you can use your money carefully.

Have a go at making your own shop in your home today. You could make a toy shop, shoe shop or even a food shop. Have fun and practice using these words in your play.
