You've done it! You've reached the end of the Summer Term - and what a strange term it has been. This will be your final homework upload. I hope you all have an amazing Summer.

Literacy

See if you can write down some fun memories from Class 2 - We've done a lot of fun things together:

  • Making waterproof boats... where quite a few crew didn't make it
  • Using marshmallows to test force... I seem to remember having to pass out a lot more marshmallows as they kept, suspiciously, disappearing...
  • Our Nativity which was AMAZING
  • Leading our class collective worship

  • Sewing our squirrel puppets
  • Making hardtacks and eating pirate grub

I could go on and on.

Put it in a safe place when you finish, you never know, you might stumble upon it when you are older.

Use full stops as you would usually; use commas if you are writing a list; use an exclamation mark to show expression (remember not to use too many of these as you will sound like you are shouting at the reader); and then you need to use some questions marks, as these will prompt the reader to respond back to you.

So, last week you began your dinosaur adventure story. This week I would like you to focus on the middle. Have a read of your beginning from last week to jog your memories and take a look at the plans you did so you can see what you wanted to happen next. 

This section is going to be dramatic, this is the juicy bit, the exciting part where you can have some fun. Continue to use good descriptions but this week, think more about your conjunctions (and, but, because) and subordination (if, when, that used mid sentence; see task attached sheet as a starter if you wish).

This time you need to stop your story before the end - we will finish it off next week.

Week Beginning: 25.5.20

Literacy

This week are going to have a go at writing a dinosaur story. It's going to go over the next 3 weeks because, just like in class, we are going to split it into 3 parts - beginning, middle and end. This week we are focussing on the beginning. 

First of all, you need to think of what is going to happen in your story and make a plan. Make yourselves a story map and think about:

Who are your characters? - Is it you, a dinosaur or someone else? What dramatic thing is going to happen? - Is it a chase, did you get lost? There are lots of dramatic things that could happen involving dinosaurs! Now think of how your story will end - did it all turn out okay, maybe you became friends with a dinosaur, did you make it safely back home?

Now let's look at the first section of your plan and write out the beginning to your story - try to get in some good descriptions to paint a clear picture in the reader's head. Remember to stop just before the action! We will write that part next week.

Maths

This week we are looking at division. Have a go at some of the activities via this webpage. Use your knowledge of partitioning and number lines to help you. You could even have a go at some of your own problems. Remember how to use partitioning to help you and you could also use a number line to help you.

Literacy

We use newspapers and online reports daily. They give information to people and sometimes write in a way that is quite shocking and makes people have a response. 

See if you can use the style of a newspaper to write a report about a dinosaur invasion! 

  •  You need to think of a catchy headline that makes people want to read what you have done. 
  •  You need good descriptions and conjunctions (and, but, because, or)
  •  Think about your openers - you want to keep the reader interested.

Activity 2: Four-in-a-row

Show the children the Four-in-a-row playing board (see ‘You will need’).

Explain that the idea of the game is to connect four words in a row either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

Play the game with a child, demonstrate choosing a word and saying it correctly to ‘claim’ the word.

Children have different coloured counters and place these on the words that they have successfully claimed. Alternatively they could colour in the words they have claimed, one child using blue, the other child using red. If they use colours, a new board would be needed for each game.

Explain that if they do not get the word right then the other player has a chance to ‘steal’ the word by saying it correctly.

 

Week Beginning: 20.4.20

Hi Class 2,

Well this would have been the start of our Summer Term! Can you believe it? And a new term means a new topic. This one is ‘Land Before Time’ where we will be learning all about… dinosaurs.

Maths Work

We are reading scales this week. I have attached a worksheet that you can download and print, it not, I often draw my own scales for the children to read. I usually stick to them going up in 1s, 2s, 5s, or 10s. I will have missing numbers within my scale to try to make the question more challenging. 

Literacy Work

This week I would like you to research and make a dinosaur fact file - it could be a book, poster, picture, you could even chalk it on the drive! Be as creative as you like.

You could have a look around your garden to see if you can find any micro habitats for creepy crawlies. Take a look under rocks and things to see what you can discover. You could also make your own! Have a look on Pinterest and type in ‘bug hotel’.

Enquiry

Have a go at doing some drawing this week. It might be something in your house or, if you can, get yourself outside and have a look at something in nature that you can draw or maybe a building. Some of you are lucky enough to see Castle Hill from your homes so you could draw that. You might just want to use pencil and draw a sketch or you could add some colour using paints, crayons, pencil crayons, felt tips etc. I love drawing and I know you are all so fantastic at art - remember the scenes from the Little Red Boat that you all drew? They were fantastic!

You can also make your own tally charts - just think of a question to ask your family, you could even get creative and have a parent (if possible & with guidance) ask people they know via social media and tally up the responses. Then you could turn your results into a graph.

Enquiry Work

Let's make rainbows!

 

What you'll need:

A glass of water (about three quarters full)

White paper

A sunny day

 

Instructions:

Take the glass of water and paper to a part of the room with sunlight (near a window is good).

Hold the glass of water (being careful not to spill it) above the paper and watch as sunlight passes through the glass of water, refracts (bends) and forms a rainbow of colors on your sheet of paper.

Try holding the glass of water at different heights and angles to see if it has a different effect.

 

What's happening?

While you normally see a rainbow as an arc of color in the sky, they can also form in other situations. You may have seen a rainbow in a water fountain or in the mist of a waterfall and you can even make your own such as you did in this experiment.

Rainbows form in the sky when sunlight refracts (bends) as it passes through raindrops, it acts in the same way when it passes through your glass of water. The sunlight refracts, separating it into the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
