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
Read one of your school reading books for 10 minutes and ask someone to listen to your response to one of these questions:
Fiction: Who is the author?
Non Fiction: Why does this book contain technical vocabulary?
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.

Our Star of the Day is Freya. We have awarded Freya Star of the Day because she has worked incredibly hard following the draw along with Rob videos. As a result she has drawn all of the pictures below!
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.
Here are photos of some of the things you have got up to today
