Good morning Year 2,

It is almost the weekend, keep going today, you can do this! As promised yesterday
we have changed the plan so that we can focus on celebrating Captain Tom Moore's
achievement. Please share your work with us as we love seeing what you create!

Today's home learning tasks

Reading

The Magical Teaching Box
Today we would like you to focus on page 8, which requires you to read about Zenus and then use the details to create a labelled sketch of Zenus.

Captain Tom Moore
Yesterday was Captain Tom Moore's 100th birthday. Whilst we have been learning at home, he has been raising money for the NHS. To do this Captain Tom Moore completed 100 laps of his 25m back garden and raised over £28 million for the NHS!
Discuss with someone you live with: How can one person make a big difference?
The things we do affect the world around us and we can all make a positive difference to our world.
Challenge 1 – Write a letter or thank you card and send it to someone who has made a difference in your local community.
Challenge 2 – Draw a picture of Captain Tom Moore completing his challenge.

Daily Reflection
Good afternoon Year 2, we have enjoyed seeing all of your wonderful drawings today of Zeus, Captain Tom Moore and Drawing with Rob. It really did turn into a very creative day. In a meeting today Mr Condon said how pleased he is with all of the effort you are putting into your home learning, both carers and children - so well done! Give yourselves a pat on the back as we really do recognise and appreciate all of your hard work.

Good morning Year 2

Thank you for all of your wonderful emails. You are all working so hard and creating work that you should be very proud of! It was such a fantastic day yesterday as four children were awarded Stars of the Day. Well done Tallulah, Lexi, Isobel and Logan!

We are missing all of you and understand that this may feel like a difficult time. Please look after yourselves by making time to learn, be creative, eat well, exercise, be with your family and have a good night's sleep.

Here are today's learning tasks:

Reading
Read one of your school reading books for 10 minutes and ask someone to listen to your response to one of these questions:
Fiction: Why do you think the author choose this title?
Non Fiction: Can you find an example of a page that has an interesting layout? Why did you choose it?

Phonics
If you would like some phonic practice there are now daily online lessons you can watch that are aimed at Year 1 but are good for Year 2 too. Yesterday focused on ea and today focuses on e-e .

Reading Past Times on an Analogue Clock
We would like you to continue to practice writing past times and then there are two time challenge word problems for you to solve.


Joe gets home at 10 minutes past 6, she watches TV for 1 hour. What time does she finish watching TV?

A business person has a coffee break at quarter past 10, after quarter of an hour she goes back to her work. What time did she start working again?

Nigeria
Look carefully at the map below. Find the United Kingdom and Nigeria. Use the compass directions below to work out which direction we would need to travel in to fly to Nigeria.






Star of the Day

Our Star of the Day is Ella. We chose Ella because she created a well thought out story map to help retell the story of Pandora's Box to her family. As well as this Ella has consistently worked incredibly hard every day and has completed each task to her very best ability. Well done Ella!

Daily Reflection

Once again we have been in awe of the work you have produced. We are so pleased with the way you are all focusing on home learning and doing your very best! It slipped our minds that it was Captain Tom Moore's 100th birthday today so tomorrow one of our home learning tasks will focus on him. If you are unsure of who he is please ask your parents or watch CBBC Newsround to find out.
