Watch these two very different accounts of Pentecost to help you gain a better understanding!
Fifty days after Jesus’ death and resurrection, the Holy Spirit was poured out on the early Christians on a day known as Pentecost. This powerful event from the first century is described in Acts chapters 1-2. There, we learn that about 120 followers of Jesus were gathered in prayer in an upper room of Jerusalem, having recently seen Jesus depart and return to his Father in heaven. It was now the day for celebrating a Jewish harvest festival known as Pentecost, or Feast of Weeks. But God would give this Old Testament feast a far greater significance through the spiritual harvest He would produce that day.

Do you need help working out how fractions, decimals and percentages all relate?
Well, watch this short YouTube clip to help you on your way So what are homophones? As you will see from the picture on the left, homophones are words that sound the same but mean different things and are spelt differently. Sometimes it can be tricky to figure out which one you should be using in your spelling! One of the homophones that we often confuse is 'there', 'their' and 'they're'. Deciding which one means what can become quite tricky so I want you to watch the clip below to help you with this! Now that you have a better understanding of 'there', 'their' and 'they're', I want you to leave a comment on this blog post that explains the following things: Free Word Search Puzzles
What does their mean? Give an example of how you might remember this. What does there mean? Give an example of how you might remember this. What does they're mean? Give an example of how you might remember this. NOW TRY TRY TO FIND ALL OF THE HOMOPHONES BELOW IN THS WORD SEARCH! JUST DRAG THE CURSOR OVER THE WORDS AS YOU FIND THEM. IF YOU GET TIME WRITE THE HOMOPHONES DOWN IN YOUR BOOK WITH THE MATCHING ONE. FOR EXAMPLE BEAR, BARE On Monday as an introduction to our new maths topic Mrs. Sinnott created a QR maths trail around the school! We formed groups of four, named our teams and armed ourselves with an iPad and QR scanner and off we went. So that we didn't just follow each other one team was allowed to leave the classroom after every minute had passed, a bit like a handicap race! We read our first question and there were three possible answers, the correct answer lead us to our next clue, so we had to be careful that we didn't get 'lead up the garden path' so to speak! There were twelve questions in all, and despite being the last team to leave the room.....team Skittles returned with the quickest time after having answered and recorded all of the answers in their maths journals. Have you used QR codes in the classroom before?
