Today we are going to investigate a pack of cards. Encourage your child to sort the pack into the four suites and name the suites.
Now put each suite into order on the table starting with the Ace and ending with the Jack, Queen and King.
Your child could do this any number of times. How quickly can they do it? Could you time them?
Now look at the pack and talk about what you see.
How many 2s are there? How many 4s? How many in a pack all together? How many Queens? What’s an Ace worth? What are a Jack, Queen and King worth?
Teach your child to play the missing card game.
When the cards are all laid out in suites – and in order – take one card away in secret.
Can they identify which card is missing?
Play the wrong order game … when the cards are set out and ordered, mix the order of two cards, can they identify which cards are muddled?

RE
Key Question: Why do Christians give gifts at Christmas?
Watch this video: https://gochattervideos.com/john-lewis-christmas-advert-remake/
The key message of this video is that Jesus is a precious gift for Christians.
Sometimes the most precious gift for us is not a huge, fancy, expensive gift.
Have you ever considered the birth of Jesus at Christmas to be a ‘gift’?
Gifts need to be opened and received – so how should we respond to God’s great gift?
Activity: Write a gift tag for a special gift for the world.
PE
PSHE
How are you different/the same as your friend(s)?
This might be how you look or things that you like to do.
For example, Miss Simons likes chocolate but Mrs Brookes and Mrs Roberts like cake.
