Thursday 30th April - Home Learning


Looking after yourself | University of Westminster, London

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 .

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.


Here are some photos of your home learning
