RE

How do we show we care for the others? Why does it matter?

How and why do we celebrate significant times? What makes some celebrations sacred to believers?

Lots of parents have been enquiring about the Purple Mash logins which have been sent home. We often use Purple Mash in our computing lessons and so these logins have been provided if your child would like to have a try at any of the activities. This is just for fun and there is no expectation for any of the activities to be completed.

However, if your child would like to have a go then here is a list of suggested activities:

  • Change your avatar – click on the picture next to your name and then edit avatar.
  • 2paintapicture – have a go at experimenting with the different artistic styles and drawing tools.
  • Mashcams – have fun transforming yourself into a famous person
  • Maths games – Bond Bubbles (try Dino World)
  • PSHE – explore some of the values activities like What makes a good friend?
  • Try some of the activities in the animal section.
  • Publish a story on 2create a story
  • Practice your typing skills using 2type.
  • Make some music using 2sequence
