Super impressed with how hard Yusuf has been working at home. Thank you for your letter and the useful advice. I hope you can use the gratitude jar to stay positive. Also, I like how your using a number line to solve the subtraction word problems.

Have a look at Aaliyah and her brother Elkhan’s  beautiful gratitude jars. I love the fact that you mentioned you are thankful  all the doctors and nurses, they are doing a great job indeed. What a beautiful thought Aaliyah!

Thank you Tayyibah for sharing her fantastic learning. Your space rocket is so cool. Well done!

Assalamualaikum Y2, hope you are all keeping up the good spirit and making the most of your time. It is important to stay positive and look after ourselves and others. We need to be grateful for our family and friends that we have around us. We can show our appreciation with an act of kindness or with a simple smile. Next two weeks will be Easter holiday. For those who are celebrating, I hope you have an amazing time. I will try to add things on our class blogs but you may not see it everyday. But if you would like to get in touch please use the blog on Purplemash and leave a message and I will get back to you. To post a comment on the blog you need to do the following:

Do you know what the word means now? We need to be thankful for all the good things that happen to us. When you have a bad day think about the positive things that have happened. In the coming weeks, I want you to have a gratitude jar of your own. Everyday you can write down the things that you are thankful for on a little piece of paper and read them when you feel like you are having a bad day. You can ask your family members to make a gratitude jar of their own too.
​I am thankful for having the most amazing class and seeing you grow into a kind, loving and caring human being. I am also thankful for my caring family and my colleagues in Virginia Primary school who are all so supportive.

RE

In RE our key question is - Who is prophet Muhammed and why is he important to Muslims?
​Now I want you to think about the word 'leader'. What qualities do you need to be good leader?
Make  a mind map of list of qualities that leader must have. 

Now do you know how many people in the world follow prophet Muhammed as their leader? More than a billion that's a lot of people from lot of countries. What do you think made Muhammed such a great leader for Muslims worldwide? I want you to find a story about the life of prophet Muahammed and write it in your book. In class, we did a story about the prophet and the cat. Can you retell that story to your family?
