We are all part of God's vine and are rooted in His rich soil. We are nurtured and supported so that we may grow and spread out into the world to love and to serve.

Home Learning Guidelines:

Use the grid below to help structure your child’s home learning. We would encourage children to complete at least 2 activities from each column and record their learning experience in their challenge book. This could be done in a variety of ways. For example, writing a few sentences about what they learnt, drawing a picture, sticking in a photograph, completing a thought bubble etc.

To support your child at home with reading we ask that your child reads at least 4 times a week. Remember there are lots of resources to support reading on our website.

There is no expectation that your child completes the home learning challenges if they are unwell or if circumstances at home are such that the completion of the tasks cause unnecessary stress and anxiety to the household.

The highlighted activities on the learning grid show which activities the children will complete in school.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE

A POEM FOR KIDS

Long ago there was a soldier

Fighting in a war.

His name was Bert, and he got hurt,

His leg was very sore.

They took him to a hospital

And put him in a bed.

They hoped he would get better but

He got much worse instead.

It was a nasty, smelly place

Everything was dirty -

The floors, the beds, the bandages,

Poor old injured Bertie.

Onto the bed jumped three big rats

They laughed at Bert and said

“We'll give you a nasty disease

And soon you will be dead.”

Poor Bert was very scared indeed,

The rats were right, he feared.

He thought that he was going to die

But then, a light appeared.

It was a lady with a lamp

Called Florence Nightingale.

She took one look at the rats, and

Picked them up, by the tail.

“No rats allowed in here,” she said

“On this I’m quite determined.

From now on this place will be kept

Clean, safe, and de-vermined."

The rats saw that she meant business

And ran away in fear.

Then Florence smiled and Bertie said,

“I’m really glad you’re here.”

She gave him a nice clean bandage

And ointment for the pain.

And it was not too long before

Bertie felt well again.

Florence Nightingale was the best

Nurse there had ever been.

But she did so much more than just

Keep one hospital clean.

She wrote great books about nursing

And opened up a school.

She made it seem like being a nurse

Was really really cool!

Nowadays all of us can thank

The lady with the lamp

That hospitals are clean and fresh

And not dirty and damp.

Nowadays we think cleanliness

Seems like just common sense

But it would have all been different

Were it not for Florence
