If you just want to smile and give us a wave, that is absolutely fine too!!!😃😃😃

There may be things you have become really good at whilst at home, for example riding a bike, reading a really long book or baking some cakes. Make a list of those things on the sheet provided:

It could be a fictional character, a sports person, a movie star or a local person. Make a poster with a drawing/photo of this person and tell me why they are inspirational to you. What have they done that makes you want to be like them or achieve the things they have? I really look forward to you sharing your ideas with me on Tapestry.

PHONICS ACROSS THE WEEK

Allow 10- 15 minutes a day for these activities.

Mrs Kulczycki’s Group– please access the activities Pond Life Plurals and Planetary Plurals. Make sure you are logged in to Phonics Play using the following details:

Username – march20

Password – home

Remember to watch the demonstrations first, before you play the games.

https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/6/pond-life-plurals

https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/6/planetary-plurals

Then it is back to more common exception words!! This game is similar to spooky spellings but uses little birds instead!! 🐤🐤It revises the spelling of the Year 2 common exception words, plus some other tricky words using the Look, Cover, Write, Check approach. Make sure you click on Year 2 and select the books 7, 8 and 9 for this week.

http://www.ictgames.com/littleBirdSpelling/

Mrs Joyce’s Group– You have completed the revision of the common exception spellings. Great job!! Now try the following spelling activities revising possessive apostrophes. Click on the link, then click on the spelling tiles (free) box and work through the various activities for that pattern.

https://spellingframe.co.uk/spelling-rule/103/26-The-possessive-apostrophe

Alternatively there is a game which practises the same words as above, but in more of a game format if you prefer. When you are on the page which says spelling tiles (free) instead of clicking on that box, scroll down a little and click on the free game ‘Spelling Mini Golf.’ NB The free game tends to change at random, so it will be whichever one says ‘Free Game.’ I have only just realised that it changes every now and again!! I last checked on Sunday evening, but it might be different on Monday!! The game will always match the spelling rule that is being practised on that page. (I hope!!)

There is also a set of 18 mini games on BBC Bitesize to help you with your Year 2 phonics skills in an activity called ‘Small Town Superheroes.’ There are different levels of difficulty. It is really useful revision for you and you can work on it over a few days if you wish. Please concentrate on the following this week: 1) Same spelling,different sounds 2) Simple sounds and 3) Blending sounds. If these activities do not come up straight away on the map of the town, use the large arrow that is to the left/right/bottom of the screen to navigate your way round and you should find them!!

Discuss with your grown up how there could be all sorts of everyday boring objects that might be very interesting to aliens and could be used for lots of different things!! You are going to have a go at writing your own rhyming poem describing what the aliens do with some of these objects. I have written an example:

Aliens Mrs Joyce Version Remember, the first line of each verse starts in the same way; ‘The aliens stole my…………., just choose a different object each time and make sure that final word of your second line rhymes with the final word of your first line. I would love to see your finished poems on Tapestry!!

Draw some shapes and split them into equal sections showing halves, quarters, thirds, three quarters etc.
Use the shapes on the sheet below to fold and cut into halves or quarters.
Use the food sheets below to cut up pizzas, biscuits and pies to show fractions!!
Halve and quarter some amounts e.g Half of 16 is 8, a quarter of 12 is 3 (Remember to find a quarter, halve the number and halve it again) Your grown up might need to choose some numbers for you.
Write some maths statements e.g There were 8 people at the bus stop, half of the people got on so there were 4 left.

These are just ideas. Feel free to show your learning in any way you can!!

What do you think of the character of Willy the Wimp? Complete the following activity sheet to describe him.

Willy The Wimp Description

HISTORY

Today we are going to look at some of the famous kings and queens from history. The presentation has quite a lot of reading in it, so you might need a little help from a grown up. Stop at slide 15 to do the activity below and then check your answers on slide 17. Lesson Presentation Significant British Monarchs

On the activity sheet, you have to put the dates in order on a timeline. Top tip- the first two digits will give you the first clue, so 1744 comes before 1967 on the timeline, just like in ordinary numbers. If you have to decide which is the earliest ,when the first two digits of the date are the same e.g 1876 or 1845, then look at the second two digits – 45 is lower than 76, so 1845 comes before 1876 on the timeline.

Significant British Monarchs Timeline Ordering Activity

Please note this activity consists of two pages. The first is the blank timeline, the second is the cutting sheet. The pictures on the cutting sheet are repeated, so you only need to use the first set of nine pictures from Edward I to Elizabeth I.

WEDNESDAY 22nd April

MATHS

Mental warm up- practise counting in 2’s, 3’s, 5’s and 10’s out loud ,as this will help you with today’s activity.

Today we are going to learn how to read scales in ml on measuring containers. Do you remember on Science Day how we used measuring jugs to measure water and washing up liquid to make our bubble mixture?

Watch the following powerpoint and work out how much liquid is in the measuring jugs each time. Take note, it is a little bit like reading a number line. However, the scale might not always count in 1’s. It might count in 1’s, 2’s, 3’s or 10’s, so use the clues that you have to work out what it is counting in. (NB Make sure when you open up the powerpoint, click on ‘Enable Editing’ then ensure that the ‘Slide Show’ tab is open and click ‘From Beginning.’)

Measuring In Ml Powerpoint

Then complete the activity: Measuring In Ml Activity Sheet Remember not to peep at the answers!! You only need to do the first set of questions. For some strange reason the questions and answers are repeated twice!

ENGLISH

Think back to yesterday’s story of Willy the Wimp. I have re-told part of the story in my own words for you to read.

Willy The Wimp Re Telling VJ

Then complete the sheet below by picking out the grammatical features of the story that I have used. The numbers in brackets tell you how many I want you to find. So for example in the first section of expanded noun phrases you could have ‘small, weak monkey.’ The final box asks you to find a simile. Remember, a simile is where you compare one thing to another e.g He was as slow as a snail. (That one isn’t an example in my story!!)

THURSDAY 23rd April

ENGLISH

You are going to re-tell the story of Willy the Wimp in your own words. I want you to spend two lessons doing this, as hopefully it will be quite a long piece of writing. So please do not rush it. You have plenty of time.I will give you your WILF criteria (What I‘m Looking For) below, so you know what to include in your re-telling. Remember, you are re-telling the original story, not making up a new story. That will come next week!!!

You can either write your story straight into your homework books or use the sheet provided below.

Story sheet- Willy The Wimp Re Tell The Story

WILF –Willy The Wimp Re Tell WILF

MATHS

Maths warm up- on a whiteboard or a piece of paper/blue homework book how many ways can you make 100 in five minutes? Use your number bonds to 10 help you. If you know 6 + 4 = 10, then you also know 60 + 40 = 100. If you know 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 10, then you also know 30 + 30 + 20 + 20 = 100.

Capacity problem. Have a go at this sheet.Ways Of Making 100ml Use the skills you have just been practising to help you. Please note, there are some multiples of 5 on the sheet too as a challenge. If you are working out 15 + 25 add the 10 and the 20 together first to make 30, then add the remaining 5 + 5 to make 10. Add the 2 answers together to get a total of 40.

ART- drawing skills

Next week we are going to be doing some sketches of Queen Victoria. Today I would like you to watch the first section of a video on how to use a pencil for creating light and dark shades.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPEp8dl_TOg

The artist shows us lots of different pencils that are available, but we are just going to use an ordinary school pencil. Watch what he does up to 1 minute and 51 seconds in the video and then create your own shading guide using just one pencil on the template below. You are welcome to watch the rest of the video, but these are skills that you will learn in the Juniors. I had a go too!! (see below)

Shading Guide Template

Mrs Joyce’s Shading Guide

I then had a go at creating something similar, using just one pencil crayon colour. (see below) If you would like to have a go at one of those too, use the circular template .

When you write your poem, remember you are speaking as though you are the dinosaur , so you will use ‘I’. Follow the structure of

Line 1 Question (Don’t forget your question mark)

Line 2 Statement (which in this case will be an answer to the question)

Line 3 Exclamation sentence (needs to begin with what or how and end with a !)
