Good morning!

Our work this week is going to be linked to our Science topic ‘Plants’. We are going to be thinking about rainforests!

Have you ever read a story about a rainforest? Make a note of any books about rainforest creatures or set in a jungle or rainforest.

Listen to the story ‘Slowly, Slowly said the Sloth’ by Eric Carle the author of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’:

 

 

 

Could you re-tell this story? Think about the different voices you might use. You could create a sock puppet to help perform the story!

These are very creative, you could make a very simple sock puppet.

I would love to see photographs or even a recording of the story on our class Dojo.

 

Next, can you think of an animal or plant that begins with each letter of
the alphabet. How many of these can be found in a rainforest?

You may want to write out the alphabet first. Here is a song to remind you of the order of the alphabet:

 

Here is an example:

Could you create your own rainforest alphabet poster?

Good morning!

Your warm up today, read each of these numbers out loud, they say all the even numbers. Remember an even number can be shared equally between 2 ( end in 0, 2,4, 6 and 8).

This week we are going to be focusing on capacity.

We measure the volume of liquids, but the capacity of containers.

This is a knowledge organiser for capacity. You can download it below.

t-n-2546941-year-2-mass-capacity-and-temperature-maths-knowledge-organiser_ver_1

Capacity is measured in litres (l) or millilitres(ml). There are 1000ml in 1 l.

Look around your home, can you find any bottles or containers which show how much they hold?

Can you record the volume of liquid in each of these measuring jugs?

Good morning!

Why not join in with Jack Hartman to practise your number bonds!

 

Practise describing position and direction. Help find some football equipment, before taking on the role of players and managers to practise following and giving instructions.

Click on the link below to watch Watford FC mascot, Harry the Hornet, as he explains position and directions on his race through the stadium:

Being able to describe position and give directions is important if you want to be a successful footballer or football coach.

The images below fatures some of the keywords used to describe where something is, as well as a grid exercise filled with football items and a practical lesson in making quarter and half turns.

Here are two levels of activity sheet for you to try – start with the easier one before trying the slightly harder one.

At each level you will need to find pieces of football kit using your understanding of the key words for describing position and direction.

Cheeky Challenge:

Football Treasure Hunt is a fun activity that will get you on your feet to demonstrate your understanding of how to give and follow directions.

Why not also get other members of your household involved?

Good morning!

To recap what we have been learning about mass, watch this video:

Today we are going to practise what we have learnt.

If you have a set of kitchen scales at home, try finding the mass of different objects in grams (g).

If you have bathroom scales at home you could find out your mass in kilograms (kg).

Look carefully at the scale, write down the mass then order from lightest to heaviest.

Look carefully at the scales, they go up in intervals of 10 kg

 

Now try this sheet, don’t worry if you can’t print!

Then using different coloured pens or pencils, write your Calligram out.

Send me your finished work so that we can display your work on our class page!

Good morning!

I hope that you have been practising your spelling words this week. Don’t forget to keep practising the Year 2 common exception words aswell!

To get you in the mood for poetry writing, try some thought bubble mindfulness:

 

Make sure you have the notes you made about bubbles infront of you.

Add your notes to this sheet so that you are ready to start writing your own poem.Write your bubble poem out in your workbook first.

Now think about the bubble shapes you could use to write your poem inside. Here are some ideas:

 

Now draw a bubble shape and carefully write your poem inside. Don’t forget to send photographs!

Good morning!

I hope that you enjoyed reading the bubble poems yesterday. Here is a ‘Bubble’ poem for you to listen to!

Look at these images of bubbles, collect as many adjectives (describing words) as you can!

If you have a tube of bubbles at home…have some fun! Blow the bubbles and watch how they move. Can you think of words to describe how the bubbles move?

If you don’t have any bubbles you could watch this animation:

 

Finally, could you add andadverb ( often ending in ‘ly’).

For example:

The soft, transparent bubbles bobbed about slowly.

Record you ideas on a large sheet of paper or in your workbook ready to help you to plan your own shape bubble poem.

Good morning!

Practise counting in 10s by joining in with this song:

Quick question: What are these used for?

They are called balance scales and are used to measure the mass of an object.

What is mass?

Mass refers to the weight of an object. It is measured in grams (g) and kilograms (kg).

Key ‘Mass’ vocabulary.

Look at the scales. The side with the green apple is lower, this means that the green apple weighs more than the red apple.

The egg is lighter than the cake and the cake is heavier than the egg.

The scales are balanced. This means that the apple and the pen weigh the same or equal.

Use the more than, less than and equals symbol to describe these scales. If you can’t print you could draw the scale and write the sentence underneath.

Complete these sentences using the correct language (words).

Reasoning Cheeky Challenge:

Use the stem sentence: I know that……….I know this because…….
