Maple Class home learning for Friday 26th June 2020

Spelling – can you recall all the spelling rules we’ve looked at this week? Pick some of the words and practise spelling them out loud, or writing them down. Can you ask a grown up to test you on some of the words? How many can you remember?

English – write a riddle and share on the sharing assembly post or email it to Mrs Keeler.

Maths – complete the “counting fruit” activity.

‘Cinco de Mayo’ when is it? What does it mean? How do Mexicans celebrate?
When is Mexico Independence Day? How do Mexicans celebrate?
When is the Mexican festival Day of the Dead? How long does it last? How do Mexicans celebrate and remember their loved ones?
What is “Semana Santa”? What time of year does it occur?
What is “Las Posadas”? What do children eat during this festival? What do they do?
Who is celebrated during the “Festival de Mexico”? What time of year does it happen?
What are the main holidays celebrated in Mexico?
